I have owned cardas golden cross and neutral reference.
Both excellent cables, the golden cross had an overall
warmth that suited my system at the time(avalon ascents and
gryphon electronics)Since several equipment changes I have
now changed from Valhalla's to NBS Statment Extremes.
My previous statment 3's outperformed the Valhalla's
and by a significant margin, contrary to the experience of
Audio2us.Cables are system dependant. However I have just
received the new Statement Extremes(same technology as the
Omega series) and they are a significant musical upgrade on the Statement 3.Tighter and more articulate bass, superb
dynamics and detail, and extended natural highs.I tried
my old Valhalla speaker cable against the new extremes , and
invited some audiophile friends to see their reactions.
No comparison, the extremes are in a different class to the
Valhalla's (at least in my system).So whatever Walter has done to his new cables he has certainly left Nordost out in the cold.
