Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects

I had the opportunity to demo the new Norse 2 Line by Nordost through my local dealer (Audio Two).

I took home the Frey 2 speaker cables shotgun. As soon as I installed them the liquid shimmer was everywhere. The music had a sense of relaxed and openness. My system consists of all tube gear and Chario Academy Sovran Speakers.

Nordost is a great company with the R&D to back it up. Consider Nordost as a component upgrade. Very happy with what the Norse 2 Frey did to my system.

Will be making a purchase as soon as my full review is complete. I will be updating the thread with my ongoing experience.

Please chime in with your thoughts.

I am only bothering you all with this because I saw the thread one day after a trial of Heimdall 2 (which I already had), Frey 2 and Tyr 2 speaker cables. The Frey 2 was instantly, and very significantly, better to my ears and system. With much trepidation -- because the cost is relatively astronomical -- I put in the Tyr 2, expecting another quantum improvement which would have meant laying out the huge cash for a cable. To my great surprise --and actually relief -- there was no such expected improvement. A bit more deep bass perhaps, but less (to my ears) everywhere else, compared to the Frey 2. I have ordered the Frey 2 sc, and also a pair of I-C to compare to my present H2s. BUT, given the difference in conductors and specs, I don't understand why I didn't get a major increase in performance from the Tyr 2. I have wondered whether it may be because I have Mag 3.7s which have a notoriously quirky load. Or my ancient ears which are even more so.
