Nordost Vishnu Power Cord - 7' 5" ,length 15 amp,
Condition is 8+ almost 9 in my book and I'm fussy.
Only 1 cable left from an entire loom.Clearing out some gear and cables that are not in use. I'm putting them up for sale at a good price so that they may get some use in someone else's system instead of sitting around doing nothing. I have enjoyed these power cables on many components, from lower powered tube amps to front end and source components. Some info- Roy Gregory, Hi Fi+ Issue 28 had to say this about this power cord:
“Vishnu delivered greater bass depth and weight, but also greater texture. Along with that added weight and control of low frequencies comes a sense of authority and space: space around and behind the performers, space between notes and phrases.”
"The Nordost Vishnu power cord sets a new standard of performance at its price. Vishnu offers superb sound stage and increased dynamic range in the audio arena. When used with video components, previously unsuspected colour, detail, depth and edge definition are revealed. The Nordost Vishnu power cable consists of three solid core conductors. These are manufactured by extruding silver over 16 AWG Oxygen Free Copper conductors and then individually suspending them in a micro mono-filament matrix. The Nordost Vishnu's separately insulated solid core conductors eliminates strand interaction, hot spots and carbonization, which can occur in stranded cables, thus ensuring optimum performance. Extruded FEP insulation is superior to all other materials due to its very low signal loss and high thermal efficiency. It dissipates heat very quickly and allows greater power to be transferred more efficiently. The Nordost Vishnu's micro mono-filament technology also increases current flow, delivering transmission speed in excess of 85% the speed of light. It also lowers the resistance of the cable, preserving the benefits of your power supply's low source impedance. With the Nordost Vishnu power cord, three mono-filament power conductors are wound in a special configuration, using very precise manufacturing techniques to keep the impedance, capacitance, and other electrical specifications within very tight tolerances and to eliminate external EMI/RF interference. The result is fabulous sound and stunning picture quality. Nordost's Micro Mono-Filament technology is a proprietary process developed by the Nordost Corporation. This technology reduces the effect of the insulation material. The sonic result is superb detail, sound staging, and musical reproduction. Micro Mono-Filament uses a thread of FEP which is helically wound over each highly polished conductor. A precision FEP jacket is then extruded over the thread and the conductor. A number of proprietary methods are used in this difficult and extremely precise manufacturing technique that reduces dielectric contact by a factor of more than 80%. Extremely mechanically stable, the conductors are effectively suspended in inert air, preventing oxidation and ensuring perfect signal integrity. Nordost Corporation is a high-technology cable manufacturer specializing in the audio and medical fields, using precision conductor solutions first developed for the aerospace industry and in conjunction with NASA for the space shuttle program. This grounding in the mission critical fields of space flight and micro-surgery have afforded the company an enviable research budget and an unprecedented degree of manufacturing accuracy and consistency."
