Nordost users....time to upgrade!

We Nordost users like this pricey, cool looking brand for various reasons.

Odin II is known as the "final stop" for ultra setups. It is now 2nd tier  to the latest.
I've tried it in my system. Everyone should demo it if they get the chance. 

Just when you thought Odin was already over the top....Odin GOLD! Complete with gold plated conductors.

We're talking $200K+ to get a basic setup: 2 monoblocks, preamp, speakers and JUST ONE SOURCE!

I guess when you can roll big...YOU ROLL BIG! For some reason, this brings to mind Eastern Bloc track suit guy that annoyingly revs his Koenigsegg at a stoplight, as the target demographic?

Makes my Heimdall/Frey setup seem like the supplied cables you leave in the box.

thyname, that cable you bought is one I haven't used. The one I bought didn't have collars and I swapped rhodium spades for silver over copper spades. I told you where to get the spades. That's the third source and the only one with pure silver 68 conductor PTFE ribbon. Maybe twice a year. I don't know what the deal is either..

This is a cable I've used over and over with a spade swap

Oh well.... I may try those as well. For that price, why not try everything :-)

Update: the China speaker cables arrived. These: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202996838435

One day only listening, they likely need break in, but they sound very thin. Great build quality though. I will keep them in for a couple of weeks.
