Who We Are

Have you ever delved into the world of audio cables, experimenting with Gold, Silver, Silver over Copper, or various terminations like Gold, Silver, Rhodium, and different Copper offerings? The pursuit of the perfect connection can be perplexing—finding the right balance without the Silver being too bright or the Copper too soft. How often have temporary fixes left you unsatisfied in your audio journey, prompting reflection on the multitude of cables tried and the costs incurred in these trial-and-error experiments? Can upgrading components provide a solution when cable performance falls short? These roadblocks are common in the quest for audio perfection. Perhaps it's time to move beyond the Silver Bullet concept and seek a more definitive solution.

Enter Nightingale Audio cables— not a new kid on the block but something revolutionary, a unique proposition in design and meticulous craftsmanship, adhering to a signature standard for each cable. The Power cables, designed for specific components with varying conductor types, offer flexibility based on individual component preferences. For example, the NA-SC10M Mains cable, with a solid core 10AWG conductor, is tailored for wall-to-power conditioner connections. The NA-HC10T High Current cable, featuring a 10AWG stranded conductor, suits high-current amplifiers. Similarly, the NA-FE12M Front End cable, a 12AWG stranded cable, is crafted for pre-amps, DACs, and other front-end components. Flexibility exists, with certain components favoring the High Current cable and most Class D amps preferring the Front-End cable. Each model undergoes extensive testing and fine-tuning to ensure optimized performance.

The termination process of Nightingale Audio cables employs a four-stage die forge process, departing from conventional methods. Cold forging binds the conductor to a die-forged lug, mated to a custom plug end with high-tensile strength bolts tightened to a specific torque range. This innovative termination method minimizes resistance, stabilizes impedance, and maximizes power delivery. Triple shielding, addressing sources of noise like RF/EMI and vibration, contributes to reduced noise and enhanced imaging fidelity.

The design philosophy extends to speaker cables, minimizing mass for reduced resistance, and interconnects with a focus on solder points at termination. Solder securely attaches the conductor to the pins, ensuring direct signal transfer without passing through solder—an approach setting Nightingale Audio cables apart from conventional methods.

The core objective in Nightingale Audio designs is to combat resistance in signal and power flow. Avoiding overemphasis on conductors, the focus lies on meticulous crafting of the entire cable to minimize resistance and optimize signal flow. This holistic approach differentiates Nightingale Audio products, striving for a comprehensive and effective solution.

Emphasizing a commitment to quality, each Nightingale Audio cable undergoes extensive research and meticulous handcrafting in the USA. This dedication and attention to detail ensures a product that not only meets high standards but also achieves a level of performance that sets it apart in the audio cable market positioning Nightingale Audio cables as a premium choice for audiophiles.
