| Tube rolling Manley Shrimp The NOS Mullard 12AT7WA / CV4024 are the best (regardless of money I think). I use the in my Stingray. World will go crazy hunting them when the old stock runs out - look what people paying for NOS Mullard CV4004/12AX7 right now! | |
| re-terminate nordost cables...anyone? Yes Nordost will do that, but at what price! $25 per connection of cheaper cable (Blue Heaven), and I guess couple time more for higher-end models. Total $200 to transform a shotgun Blueheaven to a bewireable one. This high price is for a quality ... | |
| Audioquest IEC-3 Power cable coupler Thsi is very fine thing with one huge flaw : there are three socket but you can only plug-in TWO cables!!!! (or I guess you can fit in all three, but ONLY audioguest-made power cords)!! | |
| New Kimber 8TC vs Old 4TC At least for nordost things start looking ok approaching 100 hours mark. If you then have second-thoughts to go back to 4TC, you should go back to 4TC. Right now, just play music. | |
| has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja Marcossy,My comments on these cables would be more accurate if I was able to compare them A-B directly...You are right, no, Freys are not warmer and more rounded than heimdalls.mjordanas | |
| has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja Marcossy,Heimdalls surely have nordost "house" sound, but are different. Whats was most impressing I mentioned above: midrange bloom, 3D full bodied, rounded sound, very vell everything separated in the soundstage. Highs are enough detailed and at... | |
| Nordost flat line cabels vs norse series I bit new info to this thread. I think I have about 100 hours on Frey IC and the good thing they are burned-in enough not to think too much about heimdalls. Frey are very fine cables, and hour after hour they show more and more of their character.... | |

| Nordost flat line cabels vs norse series Chris, have you compared Heimdall vs Frey ? I have had Heimdall (dealer demo) and for me it was really "thats it" cable, but when received an offer to buy frey, i went with frey, currently I am burning it for like 20 hours and it still sounds hars... | |
| Interconnects with smooth highs 4 Manley Stingray I took it from a dealer and found it very attractive.. so much midrange bloom and overall air that I think I now more like it than KS1030. I will make a dealer route in the upcoming days to take some purist audio, avid, van den hul to see how they... | |
