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?

Hi George,

I have experienced all 3 models: Frey, Heimdall, SPM
Altough you will hear a small difference between the Frey and the Heimdall, the Heimdall will retain all the qualities you found in the Frey but to a lesser extent.
To my ears the new models Frey and Heimdall are clearly superior to the SPM, probably explaining why there are so much SPM on the used market right now. The new models are much more full sounding and musical, conveying more bass.
As far as the Baldur goes I haven't heard them but they are using the same technology as their big brothers, except for the NextGen connectors so they should retain the same sound charateristics.
More to discover
