Description

The Nordost Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + is the pinnacle of tonearm cable design within Nordost’s Norse 2 series, offering an unparalleled level of performance for vinyl enthusiasts who demand the absolute best from their analog audio systems. Combining Nordost’s most advanced technologies, superior materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, the Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + is engineered to ensure that every nuance, detail, and dynamic in your vinyl records is faithfully reproduced with exceptional clarity, accuracy, and fidelity. It serves as the ultimate connection between your turntable and phono stage or amplifier, making it an essential upgrade for high-end vinyl setups.

Overview

The Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + is specifically designed to handle the ultra-low voltage signals produced by phono cartridges with unmatched precision. Phono signals are inherently delicate and highly susceptible to interference, noise, and signal degradation. The Tyr 2 addresses these challenges with advanced technologies such as Micro Mono-Filament and Dual Mono-Filament, delivering an extremely low-capacitance, high-speed signal transfer path that preserves the integrity of the analog signal. The result is a cable that offers remarkable transparency, detail, and dynamic range.

Key Features

  • Dual Mono-Filament Technology: The Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + incorporates Nordost’s cutting-edge Dual Mono-Filament technology, which suspends each conductor within an FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) thread. This design creates an air dielectric around the conductors, significantly reducing capacitance and signal loss, and allowing for faster, more accurate signal transmission. This technology ensures that the delicate phono signal is preserved with the highest level of fidelity.
  • Silver-Plated, Solid-Core OFC Conductors: The cable is constructed using high-purity, 99.99999% oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors that are silver-plated. This combination provides exceptional conductivity, resulting in superior signal transfer, enhanced detail, and improved tonal accuracy across the entire frequency range.
  • Low-Loss FEP Insulation: Nordost uses extruded FEP insulation, which is not only highly effective at minimizing signal loss but also offers excellent thermal stability and durability. This insulation maintains the cable’s performance over time, ensuring consistent and reliable sound quality.
  • Dual Shielding: The Tyr 2 features dual-layer shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures that the analog signal remains pure and noise-free, even in environments with high levels of interference.
  • Integrated Ground Wire: The Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + includes a detachable, silver-plated ground wire that eliminates ground loop noise, ensuring a quiet and interference-free connection between your turntable and phono stage or amplifier.
  • Versatile Termination Options: The Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + is available with multiple termination options, including RCA to RCA, RCA to DIN, or XLR configurations, making it adaptable to various tonearm and phono stage requirements.

Benefits of the Nordost Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable +

  • Unmatched Sound Quality: The use of Dual Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated conductors, and advanced shielding results in a tonearm cable that delivers an extraordinary level of detail, clarity, and musicality. You’ll experience a more expansive soundstage, deeper bass, and improved transient response, allowing you to hear your vinyl records as they were meant to be heard.
  • Ultra-Low Capacitance: Thanks to the Dual Mono-Filament design, the Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + offers extremely low capacitance, ensuring that even the most delicate phono signals are transmitted with precision and without degradation.
  • Reduced Noise and Interference: The dual shielding and integrated ground wire work together to minimize noise and interference, ensuring that your turntable’s signal reaches your phono stage as cleanly and accurately as possible.

Ideal Use Cases

  • High-End Vinyl Playback Systems: The Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + is designed for audiophiles who want to achieve the highest level of performance from their high-end turntables and phono cartridges, ensuring every nuance and detail of their vinyl collection is faithfully reproduced.
  • Professional Audio Applications: Ideal for recording studios and professionals who require an uncompromised, high-fidelity connection between their analog source components and amplification systems.

How to Integrate the Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + into Your System

  1. Choose the appropriate termination: Select the correct termination configuration (RCA, DIN, or XLR) based on your turntable’s tonearm output and your phono stage or amplifier input.
  2. Connect the cable: Attach the Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + securely to your turntable’s tonearm output and your phono stage or amplifier.
  3. Attach the ground wire: Use the detachable, silver-plated ground wire to connect your turntable to your phono stage or amplifier, ensuring a noise-free grounding connection.
  4. Position the cable carefully: Ensure that the cable is routed in a way that avoids unnecessary bends or tension to maintain optimal performance.

The tonearm lead is one of the most critical audio cables in an analog system. As such, it demands a purpose-built, low capacitance conduit, in order to maximize the authentic and natural musical reproduction that LPs offer.

The Tyr 2 Tonearm Cable + is virtually noiseless, with rapid transmission speed and the highest bandwidth capabilities, thanks to its twisted pair design, individualized shielding, and Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology. It also employs a separately shielded, silver-plated bond wire, wrapped in Micro Mono-Filament, to minimize noise from the line. However, the most exciting aspect of this cable design is its revolutionary grounding solution. Nordost has introduced detachable ground whips, complete with Micro Mono-Filament technology, that further eliminate any noise that could be introduced during signal transfer, regardless of the unique construction of the components found in each individual sound system.
