Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2

Hi guys 

im on the edge on getting myself n upgrade on loudspeaker cables and power cables. 

Current setup: devialet 250, b&w 800 diamond 2*velodyne dd15+

I have been auiditing frey 2 and tyr 2 loudspeaker cables. 
They both are another world upgrade from blue heaven which i already have. 
The Main differense between the tyr 2 and frey 2 are that the tyr 2 are more punchy in the bass on my setup. If the price difference between tyr and frey is worth IT is discussable. 

The thing i Wonder, how would the Valhalla v2 stand againt tyr 2 (and frey2) loudspeaker cables.

is there anyone out there tested this? My dealer dont have the Valhalla v2 for auditioning.

if anyone have any experience with the powercables frey2, tyr2 and Valhalla v2. Feel Free comment the experiences:)

I have an all Nordost system.  For years I had been using a Valhalla 1 PC to power my Qbase.   About a year ago I bought an Odin 1 PC and inserted it to power my Qbase.  Wow what a difference!  It is so much better in every way over the Valhalla 1 PC.  I now have 3 Valhalla 1 PC’s plugged into my Qbase that the Odin 1 PC is feeding.  I have not tried a Valhalla 2 PC but would like to.  I use Sort Fut, Sort Kones (TC) and Valhalla 2 speaker cables.  I went from Tyr 2 to Valhalla 2 speaker cables and thought the jump was huge.  I think the jump from a Valhalla 1 PC to an Odin 1 PC was way bigger.  For me (in my system) power cords made the biggest improvement followed by speaker cables then interconnects.

@fdpdk,  inserting Nordost Sort Fut in place of the stock spikes really brought the music into focus.  Instruments and voices within the soundstage became more defined and separated.  It kind of has the effect of focusing a telescope or binoculars.  Stillpoints Ultra 5's and IsoAcoustics Gaia's are similar products.... Also using Sort Kones under components resulted in a very positive and similar effect.

I agree with jperry about leveling the speakers carefully. Nordost sells the Sort Fut 2 ways. (1) a set of 4 feet and (2) a premium package that includes 4 feet, a laser level and other tools to ensure the speakers are the same height and level (front to back and side to side). The laser level is also good for getting the same toe-in and insuring the height level at the listening position..... I have seen dealers selling 2 sets of 4 Sort Fut without the leveling package because it’s a little cheaper but IMO it’s worth it to purchase 1 premium package and 1 standard package to insure your speakers are set-up their best.....makes a big difference!
