Nordost Blue Heaven 3 Power Cord

Reference Power Delivery in the Leif 3 Series | Available at Trimira Audio

The Nordost Blue Heaven 3 Power Cord is a high-performance AC power cable within Nordost's Leif 3 Series, positioned above the entry-level models in the range and designed for demanding audio and AV components.

It combines Nordost's Micro Mono-Filament construction, silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors, FEP insulation, mechanically controlled conductor geometry, and precision termination options.

Designed for source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, and compatible AV electronics, Blue Heaven 3 provides a purpose-built mains connection with an emphasis on low-loss construction and high current capability.

At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Blue Heaven 3 Power Cord for listeners seeking a substantial step up from standard equipment-supplied mains cables within the Leif 3 Series.

Key Features & Technological Innovations

Proprietary Micro Mono-Filament Technology

The conductors are wrapped with a spiral FEP filament before being enclosed within an outer FEP jacket.

This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to reduce dielectric interaction and energy storage around the conductors.

Heavy-Gauge Silver-Plated Solid-Core OFC

Blue Heaven 3 employs 3 × 14 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from high-purity 99.9999% OFC copper with silver plating.

The heavier conductor gauge provides a robust current path suitable for demanding audio electronics.

Mechanically Tuned Lay & Spacing

The conductors are arranged using controlled geometry designed to manage:

• Electrical interaction
• Electromagnetic coupling
• Mechanical resonance
• Microphonic behavior

High-Grade Extruded FEP Insulation

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) provides a low-loss dielectric environment with high thermal stability and mechanical durability.

Precision Hand Terminations

Blue Heaven 3 can be configured for regional mains standards including:

• Australian 3-pin
• US NEMA
• UK
• EU Schuko

IEC termination options include C13 and C19, depending on the connected equipment.

Technical Specifications

Choosing the Correct Termination

The appropriate IEC connector should be selected according to the equipment's specified mains inlet.

IEC C13 is common on many source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and other HiFi electronics.

IEC C19 is intended for compatible higher-current equipment.

Trimira Audio can confirm the correct mains and IEC configuration before ordering.
