Overview

The Tyr 2 Power Cord is meticulously engineered to handle the power demands of high-fidelity audio equipment while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). By incorporating Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated conductors, and top-quality insulation, this power cord ensures that your audio components receive an exceptionally clean and uninterrupted power supply. As a result, the Tyr 2 Power Cord allows your equipment to operate with greater efficiency, accuracy, and musicality, making a profound difference in the overall performance of your audio system.

Key Features

• Dual Mono-Filament Technology: The Tyr 2 Power Cord uses Nordost’s advanced Dual Mono-Filament technology, which involves winding two FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) threads around each conductor. This creates a virtual air dielectric around the conductors, reducing insulation contact by over 80% and lowering capacitance. The result is faster signal transmission, greater power efficiency, and improved sound quality, with enhanced detail, clarity, and dynamic range.
• Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The Tyr 2 Power Cord features solid-core, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. These conductors provide superior conductivity and minimize signal loss, ensuring that your audio components receive a clean, accurate, and efficient power supply. The silver plating further enhances high-frequency performance, contributing to a more detailed and lifelike sound reproduction.
• Low-Loss FEP Insulation: Each conductor in the Tyr 2 Power Cord is insulated with extruded FEP, offering excellent dielectric properties and minimizing signal loss. This low-loss insulation preserves the integrity of the electrical signal, allowing your audio equipment to perform with maximum precision and fidelity.
• Precision Cable Geometry: The Tyr 2 Power Cord is designed with optimized cable geometry to maintain consistent impedance and reduce EMI and RFI. This precision construction ensures a cleaner and more stable power supply, resulting in reduced noise and distortion, which enhances the overall sound quality.
• High-Quality Connectors: The Tyr 2 Power Cord is terminated with premium, gold-plated connectors that provide a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. These connectors maintain the integrity of the electrical signal and ensure reliable power delivery, making them suitable for the most demanding high-end audio systems.

Benefits of the Nordost Tyr 2 Power Cord

• Unmatched Sound Quality: The combination of Dual Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated conductors, and low-loss FEP insulation ensures that the Tyr 2 Power Cord delivers an exceptionally clean, stable, and interference-free power supply. This allows your audio components to perform with unparalleled clarity, detail, and dynamic range.
• Reduced Noise and Interference: The advanced design of the Tyr 2 Power Cord effectively minimizes EMI and RFI, reducing noise and interference that can degrade the performance of your audio equipment. This results in a cleaner, more accurate sound with enhanced depth and realism.

How to Integrate the Tyr 2 Power Cord into Your System

1. Identify the component to power: Determine which audio component(s) you want to connect to the Tyr 2 Power Cord, such as an amplifier, DAC, CD player, or preamplifier.
2. Replace the existing power cord: Unplug the existing power cord from your component and replace it with the Tyr 2 Power Cord, ensuring a secure connection at both the component and power outlet.
3. Arrange the power cord properly: Ensure that the Tyr 2 Power Cord is positioned to avoid unnecessary bends or contact with other cables to minimize potential interference.

Who Should Consider the Nordost Tyr 2 Power Cord?

The Tyr 2 Power Cord is ideal for:

• Audiophiles who demand the highest level of sound quality and want to optimize the performance of their high-fidelity audio system.
• Music enthusiasts seeking a noticeable improvement in clarity, detail, dynamics, and overall system performance.
• Home theater enthusiasts who want to enhance the audio quality of their system by providing a cleaner, more stable power supply.

Comparison with Other Nordost Power Cords

• Tyr 2 vs. Frey 2 Power Cord: The Tyr 2 Power Cord offers a step up in performance over the Frey 2 model, thanks to its more advanced Dual Mono-Filament technology, superior conductors, and enhanced construction. This results in improved clarity, greater detail, and a more dynamic soundstage, making the Tyr 2 the ultimate choice within the Norse 2 series.
• Tyr 2 vs. Valhalla 2 Power Cord: While the Valhalla 2 Power Cord belongs to Nordost’s Reference series and offers the ultimate level of performance, the Tyr 2 provides a significant portion of that performance at a more accessible price point, making it an excellent option for audiophiles who want near-reference-level quality without the top-tier price.

Nordost’s new Tyr 2 Power Cord benefits from the extensive research made in creating Valhalla 2, therefore extending our celebrated Norse 2 cable range into the realm of our Reference line. By employing Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, which is also found in Valhalla 2, the Tyr 2 Power Cord is able to achieve the most effective insulation method in the industry, putting this cable a step above its Norse brothers and bounds ahead of the competition. This cable consists of 7 silver plated, solid core 16 AWG OFC conductors, which eliminate strand interaction, hot spots and carbonization to ensure optimum performance. The use of these conductors also allows complete material consistency with Norse 2 interconnects and speaker cables.

Like the Heimdall 2 and Frey 2 Power Cords, the Tyr 2 Power Cord uses extruded FEP insulation, which is superior to all other materials in terms of low signal loss and high thermal efficiency. The use of FEP in a Dual Mono-Filament construction guarantees that power is transferred more effectively, while the low resistance of the cable keeps power loss extremely low.

Finally, the Tyr 2 Power Cord implements mechanically tuned lengths. This technique, used in Nordost’s Norse 2, Reference, and Supreme Reference ranges, reduces internal microphony and high-frequency impedance resonance. The benefits can be heard at both ends of the scale– in the sheer impact that comes with real instrumental presence and explosive dynamics, and the color, texture and intimacy that brings a voice or solo instrument to life. The result is the most musically coherent and involving performance you’ll ever have heard from your system and recordings.

OUTFITTING AN AUDIO SYSTEM WITH NORDOST NORSE 2 TYR 2 CABLES AND QRT QBASE POWER DISTRIBUTION

“The QBASE QB8 power distribution box along with the Tyr 2 power cords offered a staggering performance upgrade in both systems I tried them with. They presented a clean, quiet foundation for the system, allowing each and every audio component to achieve its full potential. The performance uplift was transformational, in some cases approaching what you would expect from upgrading some of the components. Putting the Tyr 2 interconnects and speaker cables into play, further enriched the performance of the system, raising the performance bar of both my systems to the highest level I have yet experienced.”

NORDOST NORSE 2 TYR 2 SPEAKER CABLES, INTERCONNECTS, AND POWER CORDS

“There’s no question in my mind that the Norse 2 Tyr 2s sound superb. Inserting them in an already great-sounding system previously lashed up with their little brother Freys, I clearly heard consistent gains in all categories of sound. How often does that happen? How much is it worth? With Nordost’s Norse 2 Tyr 2s, I’m extremely confident you’ll get your money’s worth, which in the world of cables, is far from a given.”
