During the manufacturing process,
as insulation is extruded over
conductors, gases can become
trapped. This combined with the
high electrical charges often found
in new cables, can result in a brittle
and bright sound. In order to solve
this problem, and yield the best
results possible from your Odin
2 cables, it is important let your
cables to burn-in.
You must allow a minimum of 150
hours of burn-in time to occur
before expecting to hear the
true benefits of your new cable
purchase. However, the best way to
burn-in a set of Odin 2 is to bring
your cables to your local Nordost
dealer for a VIDAR treatment. Once
the VIDAR begins running current
through cables, the trapped gases
are dissipated and small impurities
in the conductors’ metal begin to
act like a diode, favoring current
flow in a particular direction. By
using extremely wide bandwidth
signal as well as a range of both
ultra-low and high frequency
sweeps, the VIDAR stresses the
conductors, neutralizes charges,
improves the way that signals pass
through metal, and ultrasonically
conditions the surface of the
conductors. The changes made in
both the conductor and insulation
material refine the performance of
your audio cable.
While it is most important to
implement burn-in upon purchase,
there is something to be gained
from routine maintenance as
well. If cables are left unused
for a prolonged period of time
they become stagnant. And even
through everyday cable use,
electrical equipment experiences
current leakage, imparting a charge
onto your cables. By having your
cables treated with the VIDAR, you
are conditioning them and allowing
the charges to neutralize once
again.
However, if you do not have access
to a VIDAR, Nordost’s System
