Twice at shows.....during the hour long Nordost demo.

mindblowing! i was very much amazed at the level of increase in information i heard with the change of one interconnect from Valhalla to Odin (the rest of the system was already Odin).

i've owned Valhalla interconnect for 7 years (as many as 7 sets at once)......and the Odin is quite a bit better.

at some point i want to compare the Odin to my Transparent Opus after i upgrade the Opus to Mk II status (sending it out this next week i hope).
i think that Nordost Valhalla does sound 'right'. however; it is not forgiving and is maybe not the answer for everyone. Odin is even more so.

i use to have 6 sets of Valhalla in my system and am down to one set now (on the Rockport -> Allnic) as i use propriitary BNC cables with my dart pre amd amp and my Playback Designs digital. the only other interconnect i use is the 1.5m rca Opus MM2 between my Allnic phono and dart pre and an 8m pair of Audience AU24 XLR between my Studer A820 and dart pre. so i've not done cable comparisons for a few years.

if one's room is not treated then i would agree Nordost is likely not 'right' and the Indra would likely be a better 'fit'. i know that's a generalization but i do notice a pattern of reaction to Nordost and set-up approach. i'm not assigning right and wrong to either way. we all have our own perspectives. and there is more to cable preference than room interaction, but it's a part of it.
