Know before you buy
The Purple Flare LS2 offers a noticeable increase in dynamic range and weight compared to entry-level cables. By utilizing Micro Mono-Filament technology, it improves signal speed and clarity, resulting in a more coherent and impactful musical presentation.
The unique flat profile is a core part of Nordost's design philosophy, which helps to optimize conductor spacing. This geometry reduces dielectric effects and interference, allowing for a more precise and expressive audio signal.
Yes, the Purple Flare LS2 is available with either gold-plated spade connectors or Z-plug banana connectors. You should select the termination that best matches the binding posts on your specific amplifier and speakers.
These cables feature 14 solid core conductors made from 99.9999% oxygen-free copper (OFC) that are silver-plated. This combination ensures high conductivity and minimal signal loss across the frequency spectrum.
The Purple Flare LS2 is available in custom lengths to suit your specific room layout. Because it features a high velocity of propagation at 94%, it maintains signal integrity effectively even over longer distances.
Micro Mono-Filament technology involves wrapping a filament around the conductors before the FEP insulation is applied. This creates an air-dielectric suspension that significantly reduces contact between the insulation and the conductor, leading to faster and more accurate signal transfer.
