Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables

fatparrot, Nordost spend more money on advertising than anyone else. They buy and pay for thier reviews. Plain and simple. I have had them in my system, and they where no better than Alpha-Core entry cables and worse than any Audioquest entry cable I have tried. Judy hit it on the nose over priced over hyped snake oil.

Mapleleafs3, you state:

...they where no better than Alpha-Core entry cables and worse than any Audioquest entry cable I have tried...over priced over hyped snake oil.

I would suggest that either you have a problem with your system, or a problem with your hearing!

BTW, I think that Audioquest spend just as much, if not more, for marketing than Nordost. And you wouldn't believe what the AQ's mark-up is!!!

I would suggest fatparrot I have neither of those problems. I listen with my ears and the ears of many friends who come over. Never do the big $ cables out preform the lower cost ones. Audioquest on the lower end of the scale are as good as any high priced Nordost, MIT. Its a shame you listen with your wallet and like to brag on how much you spend. I guess it makes you feel supperior cause you spend more. I would put my system against yours any day. I have no problem with that. My money is spent on gear not snake oil.

Mapleleafs3, friends, Romans, and audiophiles, lend me your ears :-) Hey, enjoy your rig, whatever you paid for it! Many people are "gear-o-philes" rather than truly enjoying the music. I don't spend my money for "braggin' rights". I also use my ears, and take the advise of people who have had many years of audio experience, and who have heard more gear than you and I will ever be able to listen to in our life times. I see some rigs that other Agon members have, and although I would love to have some of the systems, I have neither the money, nor would I feel justified in spending such amounts, even if it was possible.

But I won't condemn someone who spends such large sums of money, nor would I call their gear over priced and over-hyped snake oil. The fact that you state that high priced cables NEVER outperform low priced cables, and that you'd put your system against mine any day (even though you have no idea what components I have) indicates a testosterone fueled bravado. Hope that you never race for "pink slips" in a similar manner, or you'll get a very costly education!

Fatparrot -- thanks for your comment to make this forum an even a more interesting place.

As for Nordost cable, I throw my money to this company wholeheartedly ...no choice till you hear for yourself and feel in your heart with the music comes out from your system. Of course, anything in high end got to do with combination.
