Overview

The Heimdall 2 Power Cord is engineered to handle the demanding power requirements of high-end audio components while effectively minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). By using silver-plated conductors, Nordost’s Micro Mono-Filament technology, and high-quality insulation, the Heimdall 2 Power Cord ensures a clean and uninterrupted power supply to your audio equipment. This results in an enhanced listening experience, with noticeable improvements in detail, soundstage, and dynamic range compared to standard power cords.

Key Features

  • Micro Mono-Filament Technology: The Heimdall 2 Power Cord incorporates Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology, a sophisticated design that involves wrapping each conductor with a fine FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) thread. This process creates a virtual air dielectric around the conductor, reducing insulation contact and capacitance, and significantly improving signal speed and power efficiency. The result is a cleaner, more dynamic, and detailed sound.
  • Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The Heimdall 2 Power Cord is constructed with solid-core, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. These conductors offer superior conductivity and minimize signal loss, ensuring that your audio components receive an uninterrupted and accurate power supply. The silver plating enhances high-frequency performance, leading to improved clarity and detail.
  • Low-Loss FEP Insulation: Each conductor is insulated with extruded FEP, which offers excellent dielectric properties and minimizes signal loss. This low-loss insulation helps preserve the purity of the power signal, resulting in more accurate and distortion-free performance from your audio components.
  • Precision Cable Geometry: The Heimdall 2 Power Cord features a precisely engineered cable geometry that helps maintain consistent impedance and reduces EMI and RFI. This design ensures a clean and stable power supply, contributing to an improved sound quality with less background noise and interference.
  • High-Quality Connectors: The Heimdall 2 Power Cord is terminated with high-quality connectors that provide a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. These connectors maintain the integrity of the electrical signal, ensuring reliable power delivery and optimal performance for your audio equipment.

  • Upgrading Standard Power Cords: The Heimdall 2 is an excellent upgrade for replacing standard power cords, delivering a significant improvement in sound quality and system performance.

How to Integrate the Heimdall 2 Power Cord into Your System

  1. Identify the component to power: Determine which audio component(s) you want to connect to the Heimdall 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 Heimdall 2 Power Cord, ensuring a secure connection at both the component and power outlet.
  3. Arrange the power cord properly: Ensure that the Heimdall 2 Power Cord is positioned to avoid unnecessary bends or contact with other cables to minimize potential interference.

Who Should Consider the Nordost Heimdall 2 Power Cord?

The Heimdall 2 Power Cord is ideal for:

  • Audiophiles who want to significantly improve the sound quality of their high-fidelity audio system by upgrading their power supply.

UPGRADING AN AUDIO SYSTEM WITH NORDOST NORSE 2 HEIMDALL 2 CABLES 

“Just take my word for it, I’m awestruck! In all respects, from transparency, tonality, low noise, detail, imagery, focus, coherency, timing and musical engagement, I’ve experienced no better to date.”

— George de Sa, NOVO

NORDOST HEIMDALL 2 POWER CORD

“With the Heimdall 2 in my valve preamp power supply, Dave Brubeck’s Unsquare Dance is spectacularly reproduced with the crisp and sharp drum-taps and hand-claps in perfect sync with the bassline and piano. With Take Five the breathtakingly real saxophone appears in the middle of my listening room. All the instrument images are perfect and the double- bass, which is taut and full, balances perfectly with the piano and drums…. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★”
