High End Cable Burn in Service
Nordost VIDAR

We all know that it can take time before your new cable begins to perform at its best. have developed the VIDAR burn in machine which helps new and old cables on their way to optimum performance. We can burn in RCA, XLR and BNC interconnects and digital links as well as spade and/or banana terminated speaker cables. We can also burn in Din to RCA tonearm cables which normally take a lot longer to get to their very best. We also can revitalise your favourite cable with a one day burn.

If you wish to purchase a VIDAR Machine call Dave. £4,000.00

The VIDAR combines three different functions in one operation.

1. Neutralises spurious charges that build up around the cables and insulation.
2. It provides a very wide band and deep conditioning into the conductor core, which produces changes in the way signals pass through the metal.
3. Ultrasonically conditions the surface of the conductors.

The VIDAR uses a proprietary combination of composite and complex signals to condition the cables. Parts of the signal oscillate at ultra-low frequencies and other parts of the signal are in ultra high ranges which extend beyond the range of video frequencies. During the process the ultra-low frequencies penetrate deep into the core of the cable while the ultra-high frequencies zip along the surface of the conductors. The method of signal transmisssion sets up beat harmonics, or hetrodynes, between the two complex waveforms. These beat frequencies penetrate all layers of the cable. Electrons are driven above the conductor into the dialectric area. The VIDAR not only send ping pong signals along the cable it also sends a similar signal from the centre core to the outer shield of the cable to neutralise these charges.

If you have been to a "Lars" Nordost demos you may have noticed a Vidar there.
