Overview

Nordost TYR 2 Tonearm Cable + – Norse 2 Series

The Nordost TYR 2 Tonearm Cable + is the highest-performance tonearm cable in Nordost’s Norse 2 Series, engineered specifically for the extremely delicate signals generated by phono cartridges. Its low-capacitance design, individually shielded channels, advanced Dual Mono-Filament technology, and versatile grounding system are designed to provide an exceptionally quiet and transparent connection between the tonearm and phono stage. (Nordost)

Tyr 2 features four 25 AWG silver-plated 99.99999% OFC solid-core conductors, configured as two individually shielded twisted pairs. Nordost combines this geometry with mechanically tuned lay and lengths and Dual Mono-Filament construction to achieve fast signal transmission while minimizing dielectric interaction and unwanted noise.
