The internal wiring of the Nordost El Dorado power cord uses the same kind and amount of wires as do the Quattro-fil interconnects. If handy w/ your hands I have heard of people buying the used El Dorado PC for a couple hundred bucks and making both the Quattro-fil IC as well as a KILLER set of "quattro-fil" speakers cables, which even Nordost never did! Someone I know overseas has several sets that he has compared to his friend's SPM ICs and they reportedly beat the SPM all around! Thinking of getting a used El Dorado and some Nordost Moonglo RCAs and sending them over.
Is the SPM/Quatro fil still a good choice
With the now venerable Nordost Valhalla speaker and interconnect cable, is the Nordost SPM reference and Quatro fil interconnect still a good choice for audiophile who dont have almost 10K to spend on just cable and want extreme purity and transparent non fatiguing sound?
