Nordost Tyr 2 Spkr Cables - Alternate for less $$

Mattmiller, thanks for the suggestion on Morrow. I will check out their website.

Polk432, I have no idea. In my original post I say, "I have never really been a fan of or explored high priced speaker cables". I do think your idea is interesting, and if you do that I would like to know about your results.

Zd542, thanks for your comments. I am trying to decide whether I can make myself do a cable shootout. I am not sure if I have the time right now.

Sdcampbell, I appreciate your thoughts on this. I have a Frey 2 phono cable that came with my SME 10 turntable. I don't have a basis for comparison on this. My dealer has offered to lend Frey 2 interconnects so I can see if they make a positive change in my system. This really started when he took the Tyr 2 cable in trade and offered to let me try them in my system. I may give you a call, and thanks for offering that, if I move forward with more Nordost cable. Are you located in Seattle?

Thanks again to everyone for all of the input and help.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry

I use Frey and Heimdall IC's. Magnum Dynalab upgrades their tuners with Kimber Cable (I think) and Wilson Audio recommends that I use Transparent Cables since they use Transparent wire in their speakers. I have an all tube system and it(rewiring everything inside) may work, but I'm not willing to spend to find out. I was going to go with an all Odin loom at one time, but just can't justify that much money for wires. Happy listening.

Thanks to everyone for your input. After listening for another week I bought the Nordost Tyr 2 speaker cables. The price was good enough that I can resell if I decide to do a cable shootout and they end up losing.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry
