Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects


I had the opportunity to demo the new Norse 2 Line by Nordost through my local dealer (Audio Two).

I took home the Frey 2 speaker cables shotgun. As soon as I installed them the liquid shimmer was everywhere. The music had a sense of relaxed and openness. My system consists of all tube gear and Chario Academy Sovran Speakers.

Nordost is a great company with the R&D to back it up. Consider Nordost as a component upgrade. Very happy with what the Norse 2 Frey did to my system.

Will be making a purchase as soon as my full review is complete. I will be updating the thread with my ongoing experience.

Please chime in with your thoughts.

I think they are still using the WBT's on the upper level wires,which leads me to believe it's a cost thing.

Concerning the Bi wires, I felt that two single runs per speaker was the way to do it with all cables.

Splitting a cable in half never made sense to me.
I just placed my order for the Tyr2 IC's. It was a tough choice between upgrading my original Frey's IC and SC. I like the sound from the Tyr2 IC more than the Frey2 SC. Of course both sound the best but I can only afford 1 upgrade at the present time.

On a side note - If you have used Eco3 Nordost now has Eco3x.
My hunch is yes. They will have more metal and proprietary plugs.

Not too much to ask for.
Nordost cables to me compared to other ones within there price range offer the best value and quality that I have seen in a long time. The timing and precise imagery from any of there line ups whether its from there Lief all the way to there Reference Series will work for almost and speaker and amplifiers out there. We sell them in our and store and use them for pretty much all or our equipment and we use most of there line ups in the store to compare sonic and timing difference in sound, though when using different amps and different speakers they will all sound different so you have to go on what you hear because everyone's hearing is different and also depends on the environment that its a controlled environment. As far as the new Valhalla2 nothing has been announced yet from my rep so once I know I can let you know because Im sure we have them in the store try out.
