Nordost Tyr 2 Spkr Cables - Alternate for less $$

For the last few days I have had these Nordost Tyr 2 cables in my system replacing my Goertz MI-2 Bi wire cables. The Nordost are significantly better with improved dynamics, improved spatial presentation, blacker background, and just overall sound better.

I have never really been a fan of or explored high priced speaker cables, and although the Nordost are clearly better, I don't really want to spend that much on a pair of speaker cables even though I am buying used and getting a very good deal.

I would like input from users that have heard the Nordost Tyr 2 as well as less expensive cable. It would be great if there were something close to the performance of the Nordost Tyr 2 for quite a bit less.

My system details are posted on the "System" tab below.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry

Shouldn't your speakers and components have Nordost wires inside them to, to be even more effective? IC's cables and power cords only go so far. What about the entire trail?

I use Frey and Heimdall IC's. Magnum Dynalab upgrades their tuners with Kimber Cable (I think) and Wilson Audio recommends that I use Transparent Cables since they use Transparent wire in their speakers. I have an all tube system and it(rewiring everything inside) may work, but I'm not willing to spend to find out. I was going to go with an all Odin loom at one time, but just can't justify that much money for wires. Happy listening.
