Know before you buy
This cable utilizes Nordost’s advanced FEP extrusion insulation and solid core oxygen-free copper conductors to significantly reduce signal loss. Its specialized twisted pair construction and individual channel shielding also provide superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference compared to entry-level cables.
The Weisline features a dedicated silver-plated bond wire designed to provide a clean, low-impedance path to ground. This setup is essential for minimizing hum and noise floor issues common in sensitive turntable signal chains.
The Weisline is terminated with standard gold-plated RCA connectors, making it compatible with the vast majority of high-end turntables and phono stages. Ensure your tonearm utilizes a standard RCA output configuration before purchasing.
While the cable is robust due to its high-quality shielding and solid core conductors, the FEP insulation allows for a manageable level of flexibility. It is designed to be routed easily behind audio racks without compromising the integrity of the internal wiring.
FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is a high-grade dielectric material that offers excellent signal speed and low capacitance. By using FEP, the cable maintains a more accurate transmission of the delicate, low-voltage signals produced by your phono cartridge.
