Nordost Cables


I have recently changed over my amps from a valve set up to chip amps and need a new Interconnect. I currently have an Audionote IC and it leaves the sound a little too bright especially on bad CDs. I have borrowed a Nordost Frey and like what it does, although the blue Heaven lost too much detail in comparison. Unfortunately I can't afford a new wiring loom or a $1,000 IC at the moment.

Anyone any experience of the Heimdall or Baldur and will they give me something similar ? Would the SPM do the same magic as they appear used at lower costs?

Rnik, you really have to hear that cables in your system to decide whether the price difference is worth for you. None the less, once you are in the Nordost camp, the more you go upward, the better the sound. Nordost cables are voiced to be fast but lean. The higher you are (in price) more music you get. Also, I would go for the new line of Nordost cables, which have a different geometry and arguably a better balanced soundprint. But before getting into that spiral of constant upgrading, I think you are better of trying RS Cables, which gives you Nordost style soundprint for a whole lot less money (actually, for me, the Rs Cables Silver speaker was better than the RedDawn), or Goertz MI2 Veracity, which gives a more fuller sound, while retaining speed and transparency. Both cables cost fraction of the price of the RedDawn.
