Handmade Cables By Northwest Analogue
Hifi separates require connecting cables. Some will argue that cables make little or no difference. They most emphatically do make a difference. They can make or break a system. Putting cheap cables, poorly designed for the job on even the most modest of systems will result in mediocre sound quality. Our interconnect and tonearm cables are made from carefully selected gold plated pure silver single conductor wire, encased in over sized tubing resulting in an air dielectric. The cables are shielded from RFI/EMI by means of a metal braid. The cables are very low capacitance, measuring just 14pf per half mtr. As far as we are aware, these are the only cables using gold plated pure silver wire. We will not blind you with nonsense and hype. All we will say is these cables will make you re think your views on cables. Don't waste money on upgrading your system before listening to our cables. We guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised. Silver cables usually means bright sounding. Our cables are anything but bright. From the deepest bass notes to the highest treble, these cables are crystal clear with a wonderful depth. Spatial cues are easily heard over inky black silences. What you will hear however is your equipment, and not the cables you were using before replacing with these. Whatever your setup, modest or high end, these cables will transform your listening experience. If you have any specific cable requirements, please contact us and we will try and help.
These cables have been replacing customers branded cables costing as much as £2500!
Interconnects come with WBT next gen plugs as standard!
Please contact me for ordering and prices. These are bespoke high end cables and as such take a little time to manufacture. They are not run of the mill off the reel cables. Cables are made individually from scratch.

The Tempest Interconnect Cable
We are proud to add our new interconnect cable which, is very special and hand made from gold plated pure silver conductors. The RCA plugs are a special low capacitance type. Incredible speed and accuracy combined with great extension in both the bass and treble. Crystal clear throughout the frequency range with inky black silences, plus a walk in sound stage. Each pair is hand made to order.
Email us for ordering. We are a small business with low overheads, plus we do not like ripping people off. What we offer is great products at realistic prices.

What our customers are saying-
'The Tempest tone arm cable is no doubt one of the very best available at any price.If your into analogue make this cable top
of your shopping list.' Gary (used with his Kuzma Airline Tonearm)
I decided to give the 'Tempest' interconnect a try, encouraged by the facility to return it if unsatisfied. No chance of that! Used between the phonostage and preamp this turns in a stellar performance, bettering the MIT Magnum MA that I use elsewhere in the system. I am particularly impressed by the wide and deep soundstage portrayed and with the ability of the cable to enable full tonal colours to be developed without damping the sound as some cables do, or bleaching tonal variations as others have done in my system. Build quality is first class. Frankly, why pay more? Regards Robin
Exemplary build quality, superb sonics and musicality. Well Pleased. Thanks Kev

Customise your cable
We can fit the following WBT plugs to our cables. These WBT plugs represent the state of the art in our opinion.
The 0114 below is the new kid on the block and is fantastic value for money and look gorgeous to boot!
The 0110 cu and ag plugs are more expensive, but are the ultimate plugs available today.
We now sell these plugs separately for those wishing to upgrade their existing cables, or we can upgrade your cables for you. Please contact us for details.
Below are just a selection of the WBT range. If you require any other WBT plugs please ask.

WBT 0114 RCA
Due to the falling demand for the WBT-0144 and the ever increasing price of gold WBT have launched a new RCA to replace the old midline connector.
The new model WBT-0114 is an excellent product with all the advantages of the “nextgen™” technology at the price of the midline range and with a very attractive finish. The body will be the same as WBT-0110 Cu and the sleeve
will be made from brass, same as the model WBT-0102 Cu, but anodized in black. Also the cap is anodized in black.

- For digital and analogue connections 75 ohm up to 400 MHz wideband capable
- Holding unit made of electrically neutral plastic
- Clamping barrel and cap made of brass (Ms) with black chromium finish, matt.
WBT 0110 cu RCA
This RCA plug is highly recommended for digital applications (CD, DAC's etc) because it provides for a continuously matched connection thanks to it's 75 Ohms characteristic impedance (RCA plugs commonly feature a characteristic impedance of 20 to 30 Ohms!) nextgen™ WBT-0110Cu nextgen™ WBT-0110Ag
Characteristics

The Tempest Tonearm Cable
XLR version. Fully balanced gold plated pure silver conductors
New Tempest Digital Cable
We have been working on a digital version of our Tempest interconnect.
This uses the same gold plated pure silver conductor in an air dielectric, encased in a braid shield.
The cable also features WBT pure silver next gen locking RCA's, as these are a true 75 ohm plug.
