Old Valhalla as Power Chord or New Frey 2 please

Dear All Passionated Persons or Colleagues,

Indeed I get a Linn System in Aktiv and I recently acquired one QB8, Red Dawn to the Wall + Several Blue Heaven and the improvements were stunning. So I wish to progress and wish to put more money (I know I am lucky nowadays but my passion is so strong).
So a basic question : Power Chord, Old Valhalla or new FREY 2 ?
Does Valhalla 2 is a small ODIN ?
All your feedbackas are welcome... Many thanks in advanced, All the best,
JIM

Disclaimer: I am a Nordost dealer.

Valhalla is much better than Frey 2 (that is the replacement of the Brahma).

Odin has a lot more authorithy and sound realism. I sold many many Valhalla powercables. For pre amps, sources and conditoners they work well. For poweramps it is inferior to Purist Audio Design. I sold a lot of Nordost in 9 years of time. Nordost is not flawless. You will loose depth and wide compared to other competitors using the best highend. Individual focus of instruments and voices is not sharp as in real. And it can not give the right proportion of instruments and voices. I have done hundreds of tests with Nordost. For me it is like 1 and 1 is 2.

I stopped selling Nordost in 2009. I sold it for 9 years.
