Nordost Cable Sale

I got 60% off the list price on the Nordost series 1 Fry IC and Tyr speaker cables. This is better than the 50% off MusicDirect discount. I saw an ad on Audiogon selling the Nordost cables fron Ron Buffington at Liquid HiFi and checked his past customer reviews. Needless to say, ALL of the reviews are crazy positive and there must be a hundred reviews. Next, I checked the Nordost web site and he is an authorized Nordost dealer along with Wireworld.

In dealing with him via email, it turned out that all the reviews are dead accurate. I would not hesitate to make future purchases from him. He only accepts PayPal for payment. Just email him to give you a quote on which cables you are interested. The more you buy, the better the discount he will give you,so I bought a lot of cables to get the great discount. The other nice thing is that you pay no sales tax and he ships using FedEx ground for free.

No problem Jmcgrogan2.
The Brahma power cord is a pricy cord too... What will you be using it on and do you think it will make a difference in sound quality?

Xti16,
Glad to hear that the Norse Series 2 are not necessarily a slam dunk in terms of overall improved sound quality:)) Plus, I could not afford the full prices of the new series anyway.

Jmcgrogan2,
Thanks for the responses. It looks like they are closing out the Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva power cords, since they are not listed on the Norse web site anymore. The Brahma is the most expensive.
Based on Norse's literature, the priority of upgrading power cords is as follows:

1. Power Conditioner
2. Pre-Amp
3. Power Amp
4. DAC
5. CD Player / Computer audio

I have a pre-amp, preamp-processor and amp that I might want to upgrade the power cables (3 total). I can't afford the Brahma for all 3, but can afford the Vishnu. Do you think it is worth upgrading to the Vishnu?

Jmcgrogan2, my amp is a Classe CT-5300 300W 5-channel amp used for both home theater and 2 channel music. Do you have any recommendations on moderately priced power cords for this amp?

Already having Nordost interconnects and speaker cables which I am really happy with, I would like to stay within the Nordost line, plus they are on sale:)

I was thinking of the following component > power cord combinations:

Classe CT-SSP pre pro > Nordost Vishnu 2m power cable
Classe CP-800 pre/ DAC > Nordost Vishnu 2m power cable
Classe CT-5300 amp (300W x 5 channels) > Nordost Brahma 2m power cable

I am willing to spend $1,200-$1,400 for all 3 power cables.
The Vishnu power cables are on sale for about $300. I would like a cord with speed, resolution and dynamic impact in that order of preference. How much did you pay for your 2m Brahma cable from Ron? Do you think that the Brahma can handle my amp?

I got 60% off the list price on the Nordost series 1 Fry IC and Tyr speaker cables. He also sells Nordost power cables. This is better than the 50% off MusicDirect.com is offering on Nordost cables.
