Djst, the HP replaced a PL Prologue 2, which was troublefree. I'm envious you have the Olympias. Being a SF admirer, if funds allowed, I would have a pair of Ellipsa's fronting my rig. I do have the Italian thing going on with the nice veneer/leather - Opera Seconda floorstanders. These and a REL B3 are on maple slabs/ brass footers. A completely different speaker,(sealed) but musical and they weren't wallet busters.
Table duties are done with a VPI Classic/AT ART9 that is fed into a tubed Fosgate phono. I'm using Nordost Heimdall from table to the HP.
No file playing going on here. CD and FM still played here
I have NOT heard the Heimdall speaker cable in my system.
Zd542's advice is practical and sensible. If you think Nordost may be the line you want in your system, audition some with the Cable company or find a pair of lower end(BH, Red Dawn) used for cheap.
I base my preference of the Nordost line hearing what the BH do in my system, and hearing PL gear with top end Nordost cabling.
In the end, it's subjective and lamp cord from Home Depot does the same thing. It won't sound the same as Nordost Valhalla/Tyr but, your ears are the final judge.
