Nordost Valhalla 2 announced

Bo, It's glaringly obvious that you don't like Nordost. But this thread is about Valhalla2
which you've neither owned nor heard - so no opinion yes? Yet 50% of the posts here are
by you knocking them.

Btw, I couldn't disagree more with your descriptives (almost the polar opposite actually)
re Nordost nor Siltech which you seem to also hate and shot down at every conceivable
opportunity. IME, in the right company/mix, they are both some of the best cable in the
market (Nordost Odin not Valhalla, and for Siltech their RS King/Queen upwards). If I
can't get my system balance right using either, I'd be checking on my equipments and/or
speakers otherwise.

I am particularly interested to know how new Valhalla2 compares to Odin from those who
have actually heard and compared.

Bo said : Siltech is a different story. I like there digital cables. But I did test and compare many of there cables. At the time the Valhalla powercable came out I battled often to companies with Siltech Emperor powercables. I never lost once. All the time I was the one who got the deal.

<< Siltech Emperor powercables? Never heard of.

Bo said : One important thing to notice why I got irritated by the Siltech company. I know from the shops who sell it that they raised there prices and the % for shops became higher. So they could give there clients some discount. This is not an honnest way of selling cables.

<< Mark-up and healthy discounts are common and no secret. If you are not getting decent cut buying cable means shop/seller is keeping them as profit. It is as it is.

I've been playing with cables, following each marked incarnation with great interest eversince early 80's. Cardas, MIT, TaraLabs, Siltech amongst others were literally just born then. Hundreds if not more varieties have come visit or stayed in my system at one time or another so am quite familiar with characteristics of each and just found some of your descriptives of them contradicting.. >>

Bo : Interconnects and loudspeakercables were Emperor and the Powercable were Siltech Ruby Moutain Hill. Valhalla was better in timing and speed compared to the best Siltech had at that time. Instruments were also better focussed.

<< I happen to own/using both brands. Also some Odin PCs hence my curiosity of new Valhalla2, and possibility of Odin2 if on the horizon.

Btw it is Ruby Hill/2, Ruby Mountain/2, or Ruby Double Crown (recent), there's never been AFAIK a Ruby Mountain Hill.

Anyway, please spare this thread and let it get back on track. Speak truth, and not what you are selling.
