Nordost Tyr 2 6m Norse Series Speaker Cables Norse 2 Series loudspeaker cables deliver a level of performance not previously possible at their price points. Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament construction creates a virtual air dielectric complete with an elegantly engineered suspension system. When combined with silver-plated OFC solid core conductors and extruded, flat ribbon FEP insulation, the result is the ideal electrically and mechanically controlled construction for ultra-fast, low-loss signal transfer between amplifier and loudspeakers. Tyr 2 represents the top of the Norse 2
Compared with buying new at this level, A$9,500 for a used Tyr 2 6m is not obviously cheap, but it can still be fair if the cable is genuinely clean and complete. Nordost’s Tyr 2 sits in the upper-tier cable market, and the new Australian pricing on Tyr 2 power cables shows this family lives in serious-money territory, so a used asking price in the high four figures is plausible rather than shocking.
What makes it worth considering is the usual Nordost appeal: very low dielectric mass, fast transient snap, and that clean, highly resolved presentation that can sharpen timing and give a system more scale and air. If the pair has original terminations, proper packaging, and no abuse to the connectors or jacket, that matters a lot at this price. I’d want to confirm exact length, cable type, and whether it’s original-owner or dealer-verified, because with a premium cable the value is mostly in condition and provenance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nordost, an American high-end audio brand, traces its origins to 1991 when it was founded in Massachusetts, just outside Boston. From the outset, the company committed to designing, engineering, and manufacturing all products exclusively in the United States, drawing on aerospace-derived technologies like conductor solutions to pioneer its signature flat cable geometry. This Northeast-rooted heritage—reflected even in the brand's name, meaning "northeast" in Scandinavian languages—has defined Nordost as a beacon of innovation in signal preservation for over three decades.
The brand specializes in premium hi-fi cables and accessories, including speaker cables, interconnects, digital cables, power cords, and video transmission lines. Nordost employs advanced techniques such as Micro Mono-Filament construction and mechanically tuned lengths to minimize distortion and maximize fidelity. Beyond cables, its lineup extends to power distribution systems, grounding solutions, and resonance control devices, forming a comprehensive ecosystem that enhances the entire audio chain without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
Renowned among audiophiles worldwide, Nordost occupies a premium niche in the high-end market, celebrated for revolutionary designs that deliver unadulterated sound. From accessible Leif series entry points to exotic Valhalla and Odin flagships, its products command respect in over 60 countries, positioning the brand as a go-to for discerning buyers seeking boundary-pushing performance and uncompromising quality.
