Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle

Has anyone compared Nordost vahalla speaker cables to Mit Oracle v2.2 ? Both of these are on the used market in my budget ($5000.+-) I am using Mit mh770 right now, amps are upgraded Threshold T-400s (2 in mono mode) and speakers are Duntec C-5000 (princess). I have used Mit products for years, with no issues, but hear such good talk about Nordost

Upgrade a component with your $5K instead of tossing money into the cable black hole.

That covers it.

Beware:The Threshold amplifiers are very wide bandwidth units.The MIT and its' interface box may cause your amps to go into oscillation.Be sure to have a return policy and be near the power switch-should problems develop.You'll jnow as soon as the amps are powered up.

Actually, the Supra sword super-duper cool technology is not new at all. Opposing signal transmission has been around for quite along while for inductance reduction/elimination. LAN (RJ-45) cables utilize this phenomenon. Those DIY LAN cable speaker wires we have all seen on many sites specifically mention that when terminating the 4-pair 24 gauge wires...you use one from each pair for the +, and one from each pair for the -. Simple aint it? CHEERS!

Dfrost:Had you considered auditioning either? You might add Purist,Stealth MLT or others with a slightly warmer/fuller balance.Have you dealt with the Cable Co previously?
You may find the Nordost slightly elevated in the highs.Whether this compliments your system is another matter.
