NxLT ETHER XLR / RCA
- Conductor: Cold Drawn Red Copper O.F.C. (Oxygen-Free Copper) custom-made from scratch.
- Construction: Made from strands. Divided into two separate wires per pin. The timing, precision, and transmitted energy are at the highest level so far.
- Insulation: Made of foamed Polypropylene (minimal contact with the conductor) – acoustically performs the best compared to other dielectrics such as air-blown Teflon, etc.
- Insulation is laser-cut with high precision, without damaging the surface of the copper strands.
- The conductor undergoes the Cryogenic treatment twice (the process lasts up to 10 days).
- Shielding: 5x to 4x (depending on the cable) shielded – twisted along the entire length of the conductor.
- The final shield is applied and braided according to our developed technology and with tension optimized for the best sound quality.
This process resembles tuning stringed instruments, where the appropriate tension provides the desired sound effects. - Pins are welded and then soldered with over 18% silver content – imported from Switzerland and custom-ordered.

The Origin of the Cable’s Name:
All NxLT products are related to the elements. We already have WATER, AIR, and FLAME. For the next NxLT product, the only remaining element to use as a name was the fourth one: Earth. EARTH – such a down-to-earth name, but on the other hand, it can evoke something friendly, stable, predictable, the foundation of everything, including an audio system. Słowik (Nightingale) – that’s my nickname, hence the company’s logo as well. However, I felt such associations did not fit the character of the sound of this new cable, so I named it ETHER. ETHER is the path to truth. The truth about how the music is recorded. The truth about our system.
Test Summary:
Next Level Tech ETHER is a multifunctional cable; both a research tool and a source of pleasure. „Sonically balanced yet intriguing” – this is its motto. This phrase may sound quite innocent but carries a significant emotional and stylistic charge. The balance turns out to be of such a kind that it stirs emotions not usually associated with this type of sound. You have to hear it for yourself; my words won’t fully capture it. There is an essence in this cable that you don’t forget. While it might happen that the initial moments may disappoint by being too blunt, once it settles (usually after a few hours), you start hearing things that were previously unheard – especially the extraordinary connection between the mids and highs. But it’s not just that; it’s also the sum of the information and the way it’s presented. Yes, there is something special in this interconnect, some unique tone.
Although the price may not suggest it, I dare to claim that NxLT Next Level Tech Ether is one of the more demanding interconnects on the market, which somewhat defines it as an excellent partner for strictly high-end electronics, where at least in theory, there should be no errors or missteps. The decision to purchase depends solely on the buyer’s individual sound and aesthetic preferences. Therefore, I am not particularly surprised by reports of these cables appearing in systems where one might expect significantly more expensive, non-domestic wiring. In the end, the example above proves that „money doesn’t make the sound,” and thus even with such affordable cables, one can compete for high-end accolades. That is, if we consider high-end to be the faithful reproduction of reality, and not its more or less colored, and therefore distorted, interpretation.
- A very special red Japanese OFC copper, designed for transmitting high energy.
- Outstanding separation of sound sources, appearing here as a complement to the exceptional clarity of the sounds themselves.
- The ability to transmit very high energy, standing out compared to the competition.
- Strong distinction of musical action from the background.
- Very high resistance to distortion, including those affecting the lowest bass.
ETHER is the path to truth. The truth about how the music is recorded. The truth about ourselves and rediscovering our audio system.

Reviews:
Mono & Stereo: NxLT Flame’s cables do so many things right, come with unique potency, and do so at a price that usually drowns out a great deal of virtue that NxLT Flame possesses. That’s why I am pleased to present the NxLT Flame XLR and RCA interconnects cables with the 2022 Mono and Stereo Best Buy Product Award.
HiFi Knights : Next Level Tech Flame will offer you a hell of a musical experience combined with one of the best bang for the buck ratios I know.
High Fidelity : Mr. Słowiński’s interconnect is an extremely good product that can compete against much more expensive cables from well-known brands. I am sure that in many systems in such a comparison it will still come out victorious. Hence our award ˻ RED ˺ Fingerprint. ■
Soundrebels: Flame should be the starting point, and I have a feeling in my bones that for some enthusiasts of audiophile delicacies, it will also mark the end of their search, as it is a rarity to find something comparable at a price not exceeding 2300 EUR, like the Wrocław connectors can offer.
Hifiphilosophy: The reviewed interconnect, Next Level Tech (NxLT) Flame, proved to be a worthy „high-end” in a radical dimension, and not an everyday loudmouth, considering its price.
- Full bandwidth extension while maintaining total intelligibility of even the lowest bass.
- Outstanding source separation, here appearing to complement the outstanding clarity of the sounds themselves.
- Ability to carry very high energy, setting it apart from the competition.
- Strong extraction of musical action from this background.
- Very high resistance to distortion, including that of the lowest bass.
As long as your focus is on music, on emotions, on having fun when listening to the music Next Level Tech Flame will offer you a hell of a musical experience combined with one of the best bang for the buck ratios!
