Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN?


I have a set of Nordost Blue Heaven and a set of Heimdall IC's that I'm selling on the bay and thinking of replacing them with either the TYR or maybe Odins.. both are 1M and sound about the same to me, so I'm wondering if the TYR would be enough of a move. All my power cords are Blue Heaven running from a dedicated line to a QB4 distribution box. Thanks in advance.

@ kurt_tank, Hi,I was currious to what solid state amp you have or heard,you said,solid state is lean sounding,since there is no tube bloom in the mid-range,mmmm,All I can say is I have awsome tube and solid state,my solid state amp has excellent mid-range bloom,Its a Krell 700cx!,kinda old I guess,however,it is a awsome amp with the right cables,say,like Taralabs zero gold i/c,omega gold speaker cable,cabolt a/c power cable that I do have!,,I like nordost,not for this system!,to me,this system sounds as real as it gets!
Hi polk432, I would go with the valhalla cables over the tyr2, but be careful not to run all nordost thru-out your system,the out come is a diminishing return in sound quality,you might experiment doing so and realize were you need to put what cable were,the nordost are great sounding cables if you know how to use them where they need to go!Happy Listening!
@ polk432, Disregared what Bo1972 just said,I am glad you revealed what your system consist of,from what I see, your system is defiantly up to par to hear an improvement when you decide to up-grade your cables,this is a compliment,if you had a hi-fi system I would say do not wast your time or money on buying costly cables,the return would be poor,in your case,go for it!happy listening!
@ polk432,as I said, you will hear a difference,I really like the Taralabs cables better than the nordost to be honest with you,the nordost are awsome!,If the nordost sound is for you,and you can afford it,do it!The Tara 0.8 will work wonders in your particular system,it is in the same price point as the vahallas,be careful not to buy the older 0.8 cables,get the ex version of the 0.8 taras,they are the current version 0.8 taras and sound better than the older models,the vahallas will make an improvement as well that I believe you will not regret!cheers!
@ Rhmmmm,Kudos!,The Trys work for you,alot of people go thru hell before they say what you did looking for a cable that works in their particular system,I am not one of them,I can make the same,I am happy with what I have as well!happy listening!
A Hr1,try doing that comparison with the tyr and the Taralabs the one and tell me what you think?
Hi bo1972,thought you fell off the face of the planet there for a while!good to see your post!
