The Purple Flare Interconnect is a fully-shielded design that can be terminated for balanced or single-ended connection, it employs six 26 AWG, silver-plated 99.9999% OFC solid-core conductors, precision wound in a minimum cross-section configuration that eliminates unnecessary fillers or padding elements. Insulation is high-grade FEP, selected for its superior dielectric performance, while the elegant minimalism extends to the carefully selected low-mass connectors and differential grounding. The Purple Flare interconnect (like all Nordost cables) is manufactured and hand-terminated in the USA, enabling us to further guarantee consistent performance. The result is a high-speed, low-loss interconnect that preserves the sense of musical power and momentum, with seamless, wide bandwidth and superb low-frequency speed and weight.
