In full disclosure, I got these as an open box item from Upscale Audio for $582.86 delivered in July 2023. Only, they actually ended up being brand new in box. Supply of these now prior generation Red Dawn cables is getting low, but they last retailed for $715 in this termination and length. I mostly used these with my Technics SL-1210G turntable and it took going to the next tier in the Nordost line and a tone arm-specific cable to make a noticeable difference.
I am offering these for $425 shipped to the 48 states to Club Polk members with 100 posts, or more, PP F&F or cleared personal check. They have been cleaned and protected with both DeoxIT red and gold, plus Nordost’s ECO 3X anti-static treatment. All ready to go!
From Nordost:
This interconnect represents both the performance pinnacle of the Leif Series and everything that Nordost can build into a non-Micro Mono-Filament/TSC cable design. But despite its (relatively) conventional appearance there’s more to this cable than meets the eye.
A fully-shielded design that can be terminated for balanced or single-ended connection, it employs six, heavy-gauge 24 AWG, silver-plated 99.9999% OFC solid-core conductors, precision wound in a minimum cross-section configuration that eliminates unnecessary fillers or padding elements. Insulation is high-grade FEP, selected for its superior dielectric performance, while the elegant minimalism extends to the carefully selected low-mass connectors and differential grounding.
The Red Dawn LS interconnect (like all Nordost cables) is manufactured and hand-terminated in the USA, enabling the company to further guarantee consistent performance. The result is a high-speed, low-loss interconnect that fully preserves the sense of musical power and momentum, scale and drama, delivering your recordings with delicacy on demand, a compelling impact when required. You will be shocked by the life and vitality that Red Dawn LS brings to your system and your music.

Didn't you prefer these to the Snake River cables? Maybe I'm thinking of the power cable 🤔Enjoying the journey while never attaining the destination.

The Snake River demo was a power cable.
I went up the Nordost line when replacing these interconnects.
