Nordost Valhalla. vs Transparent Ref XL


I just finished comparing the Valhalla with the Ref XL and WOW!!! I compared a complete set of the Ref XLs with a complete set of the Valhallas and the Valhallas won easily. Much greater resolution, detail, musicality, etc. Bass seemed to have greater texture and seemed a bit tighter as well. Everything seemed more extended. There were more highs without harshness, and fuller sweeter midrange. And speed... incredibly fast. I have not heard anything that keeps up with it.

I have always been a great fan of the Transparent line and while I do believe the $23,000 Opus speaker cable is a totally different ballgame, I really think that the Valhalla is probably right between the RefXL and Opus for much less money.

Has anyone else compared the Valhalla's with other cables?

Forgive my ignorance, who manufactures Opus speaker cables and where are they obtainable?
Are they available in IC's or only spkr cable!
Thanks
