| Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane? Your closest Nordost retailer should be able to loan you a Valhalla 2 power cord to try in your system. If they don't have one available Nordost has loaner Valhalla 2 cables that they will send to your retailer for you to demo in your home. I'v... | |
| What power cord do you like most on your amp ? I've owned several Classe amps and always used Nordost PC's with them with excellent results. I would look to the used market if you go with Nordost. BTW.... I have 2 CPCC's Top Gun Specials that have been in a box in my garage for over 10 years... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @psnyder149So much to learn by picking the brains of manufactures and retailers at properly set-up demos. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! That being said I don't think the Odin1 speaker cables will sound their best until they are FULLY broken in. If I spent Odin1 money I would definitely have the retailer break them in on Nordost's Vidar (break-in machine) for the suggested 210 hou... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! From Nordost website: Are Nordost cables directional?Yes, Nordost cables are directional. This is especially true for single ended (RCA) interconnects as the shield is connected at the source or output end only. How can cables be directional?W... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @thezaks Actually I had a similar problem. I've owned a Classe CA-5100 amp for years and really love it for 2 channel and HT applications. I completed a home remodel a few years ago and soon started having problems with that amp. After 1 hour... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @thezaks Hey Dave, I kinda remember a while back when you were interested in multi channel amps and asked WC about the Odeon. Without going back and searching this thread to find out the issues you had....what happened? I've heard such great... | |
| Looking for more transparency. I've used Nordost cables for years and really love them. The original (version 1) cables are very detailed, transparent and a little lean. If your system is on the warm or dark side they will be a good fit. I would look for Frey or Tyr and ag... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! "ezzigi, agreed with that review, Nordost Valhalla or Odin for power cable NO ( much overpriced)" "Shunyata for power cable YES. Nordost Valhalla 2 or Odin for speaker cables YES. Nordost top tier speaker cables are the best you can find. They are... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Nordost has cable loaner kits all the way up to Valhalla 2. As far as loaning out Odin 1&2, that would be up to the dealer to loan out their own demo cables. Usually Odin 1&2 are used in their top systems. Depends on the size and stock... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! if i was actually contemplating spending odin kind of money i would think long and hard about spending the funds on an even higher level of gear, if possible. Wow.......have you seen the OP's rig?BTW the Odin 1's have unbelievable bass. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I've owned Nordost cables for over 15 years and have gone through almost every model. I found the original series (version 1) cables lean in the lower midrange upper bass area, but paired with a warm, laid back system they were a hard combo to... | |
| On order, new receiver I’ve been thinking about the same model....looking forward to hearing about it. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I have been using Nordost cables for over 15 years and never once have I ever heard them called 'mushy'....Fast, detailed, lean (version 1 only) just to name a few but mushy would be the exact opposite description of a Nordost cable. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @ viber6You criticized me for using the term 'almost tube like' when describing the midrange and top end of a solid state amp and then 2 days later you use the term 'mellow'. Hmmm..... mellow could be construed as a recessed (as apposed to a ... |
