I'll answer the question. I like the Norse line and think the Heimdall is at a nice level because it comes with the WBT nextgen (Baldur does not) and has twice as many more conductors as Baldur. Heimdall is about $200 more for a 1 meter interconnect. I think nextgens make a big improvement. Despite what folks think the Norse line is not thin, bright, cold or whatever is said. If they do then the system sounds that way. I know that these cables need break in and suggest you purchase from a Nordost Vidar dealer who can cook them. You will be rewarded with a very open, transparent, tonally balanced and natural sound. As you move up the line you get more. Frey is another destination (another $200 over Heimdall). Tyr is a big price jump
