NORDOST RED DAWN 3 ANALOG INTERCONNECTS BY STEREONET

Mark Gusew from StereoNET reviews Nordost’s Red Dawn 3 Analog Interconnects describing “This cable has a lustrous and energetic character that brings life to music.”

To put the Red Dawn 3 in context, Mark compared it directly with both the Blue Heaven 3 and Purple Flare 3 cables, giving him a comprehensive view of how these products fit within the Leif 3 Series.

While he was particularly struck by the transient speed of the Red Dawn 3—calling it a “well-designed, full-range cable that delivers high performance in no uncertain terms… the result is fast and fun music-making with superb levels of transparency”—Mark was equally impressed by the Leif 3 family as a whole.

“I couldn’t resist comparing the other Nordost cables from the Leif 3 range – Blue Heaven and Purple Flare – and the family resemblance is uncanny. They all have the same blistering speed and pristine clarity…”

The Red Dawn 3 Analog Interconnect uses six, 24 AWG silver-plated, solid core OFC conductors arranged into three twisted pairs in order to reduce noise interference from the signals they carry. Each pair is then individually shielded before being bundled and secured in a second braided shield, providing 97% coverage. The cables are then terminated with gold-plated Neutrik XLR or Profi Neutrik RCA connectors. As a result, the Red Dawn 3 maximizes signal transmission while preserving the integrity of the source material, allowing enhanced textural aspects of music reproduction to shine through.
