Sold: Pair Jorma Design No. 2 loudspeaker cables

 

SOLD:  One pair of Jorma Design’s No. 2 loudspeaker cables for sale. 2.5 meters, terminated with WBT spades. Original retail $3460, asking $1500 OBO. Excellent condition, with original carrying case. Original owner has moved house, and these are too short to use in his new listening room.

Description, from the manufacturer:

The No.2 series are built with the technology from the old multiple awarded No.1 series that was in production almost 8 years from 2003 to 2010.

The conductor in the No.2 is made of the purest possible copper. The cable is built up of conductors, which are built up by thin copper threads. The threads are wound around a core made of thin ceramic threads. The purest form of Teflon insulation without any colour additives is used on the outside. The plaited outer coating is also PVC and halogen free. A tightly plaited copper shield lies between the outer coating and the conductors, which is not only for preventing noise and interference, but also as a stabiliser against vibrations and micro phonics.

An original cable with a nice relaxed sound.

We find these cables to be a really good value. Detailed, but musical. Flexible and easy to work with. Nicely made.

HRS SXR Equipment Rack Solid Brace Inserts

Harmonic Resolution Systems SXR equipment racks have an add-on option which are called solid brace inserts. [A geeky post. I know. But it sometimes takes geeky to get the best sound… so there!]

They are often added to the top of the rack to allow support for those heavier turntables that need perhaps a 6-foot HRS isolation platform instead of the usual four-footer. In that sense I think of them often as turntable support or turntable braces.

If you get the solid brace inserts for every shelf of your SXR rack then you have an SXR Signature equipment rack.

The SXR Solid Brace Inserts triples the number of cross braces, pretensions the frame, and adds 4 friction dampers and 2 compression dampers at each component location (Isolation Base location). The added mass, stiffness, control and energy absorption capability provided by the addition of the SXR Solid Brace Inserts pushes the performance of the SXR frame towards that of the very ambitious reference level HRS Audio Stands

These heavy, indestructible pieces of metal come in the most well-packed crate ever 🙂
