Ecosse MS2.15 Speaker Cable
The MS2.15 speaker cable is, in some situations, (eg where high frequency ‘glare’ is a problem) preferable. The MS2.15 is an audiophile performance, full bandwidth speaker cable sometimes necessary when we acknowledge that some amplifier/loudspeaker combinations, while exhibiting much strength, may suffer well documented slight upper-mid glare and treble edginess (and/or over-emphasised bass).
The greater strengths of its perfectly circular solidcore conductors provide the solution to this problem. HI-FI NEWS AND RECORD REVIEW MAGAZINE couldn’t have put it any better when they said recently “...a very sophisticated sounding cable, and one through which music possesses all the poise and refinement that your system might muster” OUTSTANDING PRODUCT AWARD, BEST IN TEST
The occupation area for the mid and high frequency signals in a solidcore conductor is greater than a stranded conductor of similar X-section, therefore resistance is reduced and delivery of high frequency information is improved and even extended. Low DC resistance meanwhile maintains low frequency extension and control, presenting it with weight, speed and perfect pitch accuracy. The result is an improved sense of ambience and larger soundstage; vocals are clearer with real presence and natural breath tones; glare and edginess give way to a sweeter and more detailed treble.
Twisted Pair Construction
A precision twisted pair construction where only the highest quality materials are used. The conductors are two solid cores of perfectly circular very high purity Monocrystal™ copper. High-grade polypropylene extrusions form the dielectric, the thickness of which is kept to a very close tolerance throughout the length of the cable, in recognition that the maintenance of a constant relationship between the conductors is paramount in ensuring full bandwidth frequency and phase linearity.
The conductors are then precision twisted with cotton fibres and tightly bound in cotton paper. This assembly ensures that the cable has high RFI, EMI and ESI rejection characteristics, is mechanically damped and that microphony is obviated. A cladding of soft PVC completes the structure, chosen for its excellent vibration-damping and environmental protection qualities.

Enhance Your Experience: Free Cable Burn-In Service with Nordost VIDAR Machine
Please take note of the following details regarding our cable burn-in service:
- Cable Compatibility: We regret to inform you that we cannot burn-in cables with stripped bare ends or BFA plugs. In order for cables to undergo the burn-in process, they should be terminated or have connectors.
- Timing: Cables will be burnt in for the selected period after processing your order. For custom-length cables, the burn-in process will occur after they have been terminated by the manufacturer or our engineers unless specified otherwise in the product description.
- Availability: Future Shop provides our cable burn-in service free of charge, but its availability is at our discretion. While we strive to fulfil all burn-in requests for the specified time periods, please understand that during exceptionally busy periods, we may be unable to meet the demand due to limited connections on the Nordost Vidar cable conditioning machines.
The Nordost VIDAR cable burn-in machine integrates three key functions into one operation:
- Charge Neutralisation: It eliminates charges that accumulate around the cables and their insulation, ensuring a more balanced electrical environment.
- Deep Conditioning: The machine provides a wide band and deep conditioning process that affects the conductor core, resulting in changes to the signal transmission through the metal. This deep conditioning enhances the cable's performance.
- Ultrasonic Surface Conditioning: The VIDAR machine utilizes ultrasonic waves to condition the surface of the conductors, optimizing their contact and overall conductivity.
The VIDAR employs a proprietary combination of composite and complex signals to condition the cables. These signals comprise ultra-low and ultra-high frequencies, extending beyond the range of video frequencies. The signal moves back and forth along the cable, penetrating deep into the core with ultra-low frequencies and traversing the surface with ultra-high frequencies. This transmission method generates beat harmonics between the two complex waveforms, which permeate all layers of the cable. The circuitry of the VIDAR also drives electrons from the conductor into the insulation area, neutralizing electrical charges.
So, what does this all mean for you?
The ultimate outcome of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation in your audio system.
Now, you may wonder why cable burn-in is necessary. During cable manufacturing, gasses become trapped as insulation is applied over the conductors. Additionally, new cables often possess high electrical charges, resulting in a brittle and bright sound that lacks the desired detail and depth for music production.
When cables undergo burn-in, the trapped gasses are dissipated, and small impurities in the conductor metals begin to exhibit diode-like behaviour, favouring current flow in a specific direction.
Here are the physical effects of the burn-in process:
- Charge Neutralisation: The burn-in process neutralizes charges in the conductors and insulation, promoting a more balanced electrical environment.
- Wide Bandwidth Frequencies: The conditioning affects how signals pass through the metal, enabling a wider range of frequencies to penetrate all cable layers.
- Signal Transmission: The burn-in process establishes the directionality of the cable, optimizing signal transmission from one end to the other.
When cables are properly burnt in, you can expect the following audible changes in your audio system:
- Fuller and Natural Sound: Your system should be capable of producing a more immersive and realistic performance with a fuller and more natural sound.
- Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden.
- Improved Soundstage: The dimensionality of your system's soundstage can be greatly improved, creating a more spacious and immersive listening experience.
At Future Shop, our goal is to maximise your satisfaction. That's why we offer a free burn-in service on all our cables before they arrive at your door, enabling you to sit back and enjoy the benefits of properly conditioned cables in your audio system.

Excellent speaker cables for not much money
Grzegorz

I was very pleasantly surprised by the professional approach, speed of order processing and delivery - only 8 days DPD courier with the shipment at my home in Poland!
Regarding the cables, the change from Ecosse CS.2.3 to MS 2.15 + jumpers and Ecosse MS 2.15 is a definite improvement in the total listening spectrum, better treble control, and amazing space. And that's just with a set of Emotiva Airmotiv B2+ bookshelf speakers, Airmotiv Xs10 subwoofer, BasXta2 amplifier, XDA-3 DAC, and EversoloDMP-A6.
I highly recommend these cables, and I will definitely take advantage of the Futureshop offer again.

I particularly recommend this brand and also the purchase from Futureshop. Firstly, the cable will magnify your installation for a very correct price when you see the quality and finally, the Futushop team because they give very good advice.
Je recommande particulièrement cette marque et également l'achat sur Futurshop: Le 1er car il saura comment magnifier votre installation pour un prix très correct quand on voit la qualité. Et enfin Futushopteam car ils sont de très bon conseils.

Firstly service and delivery from Futureshop has been first class as usual. To these Ecosse cables (2.15), I have upgraded speakers to Spendor D7s and wanted to up upgrade cables accordingly. I was not expecting quite the transformation I have got as a result, separation improved, clarity stunning and as described helps handle glare from real high frequencies.
I definitely fell into the 50:50 camp on the degree of improvement that can be achieved, particularly when already using good quality cable, but rest pretty converted on these.

Merci ? FutureShop, toujours imp?©cable dans leurs envois, c?¢bles command?©s hier apr?¨s midi, re?§u aujourd'hui avec FedEx... ?©tonnant, habitant au fin fond du Var.
C?¢ble juste install?©s, non rod?©s (est-ce la peine, ou est-ce les oreilles qui s'habituent ?), pour le m?©dium aigu d'une paire d'Iroise 2, la partie grave ?©tant aliment?©e par des MS 2.3 : donc en bic?¢blage.
Ces deux c?¢bles s'accordent merveilleusement et le m?©dium aigu va beaucoup plus loin (avant mono c?¢blage avec MS 2.3 et divers essais non fructueux de bic?¢blage avec diff?©rents c?¢bles que j'avais), ?©norm?©ment de d?©tails, dynamique et douceur ? la fois, sc?¨ne spatiale mieux dessin?©e, tout ?§a d?©livr?© dans une finesse superbe...
Enti?¨rement satisfait de ce choix, et la mont?©e en qualit?© obtenue ne fait pas regretter le prix (assez ?©lev?©) pay?©.
