Nordost Speaker Cables


Has anyone ever tried 'shotgunning' 2 sets of Nordost speaker cables. After demoing the Heimdals and Freys I had to say I had to 'squint' to hear the difference - But I did hear a difference. I did end up buying the Freys. That got me thinking (I know I shouldn't do that) but has anyone tried running 2 pair of speaker cables to 1 set of speakers? Like 1 pair with spades and 1 pair with bananas. If so was the difference minor or major? Would it be like getting a pair of Vahallas or Tyrs? I know there are other differences like dual mono filament - more wires and a heavier gauge.

Thanks George

I have the Heimdall speaker cables and ICs in my system and agree that they offer very good value in the Nordost line (probably the sweet spot) as I could not hear much difference between them and the Freys. Just a minor correction from Dne's post, the least expensive monofilament-based cabling in the Nordost line are the Baldur cables, then Heimdall. I mention it in case Xti16 wanted to consider less expensive alternatives to Heimdall or Frey but still with the benefit of the monofilament technology.
