Nordost Tyr vs Valhalla


I recently tried some new interconnects in my system,(posted), primarily from source components. I am currently using the Shunyata Aries with RCA. This is a very fine cable. I tried the Nordost heimdal and though this was quiet and good dynamics it lost a lot of mico-dynamics and natural timbre that the Aries had. I did try the frey some time ago with a completely different set up and did not notice much difference between the heimdal but that was completely different set up. I now have a pair of Valhalla's on loan and am very impressed. Imagining is much more precise, micro dynamics are much improved, bass is extented but more controlled, timbre is so very nice. I am hearing little nuances that I never heard before. When I go back to the Aries, all the information is there but not with the degree of clarity and three dimensional quality. I really like the valhalla's but really struggle with the cost when compaired to the rest of the system. Anyone compare the Tyr and Valhalla that could comment on my observations?

HI, Silkworm +,will destroy the valhalla, in tonal acuracy, Bass,and dinamics, the only cable that bettered Both, was the stealth indra,in the same price range of the valhalla, three times the price of the Silkworm (KCI).

my two cents:
