Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion

Rockness87

you probably know this but try to listen to them for a few weeks to really know what they sound like then switch to the second pair

thanks for sharing

If your using Virtual dynamics ICs, why not stick with the same company. When new, I think they were ludicrously overpriced, but now they are quite reasonable. I use single wired Revelation cables. They were about £5000 new, I got them for £600. They really are excellent, neutral, but really punchy, great base and treble, without being bright or etched.

I am getting rid of mine, having said that, after 4 years. They are so stiff and heavy, they are difficult to connect and dress.

Rockness87,

I had the same experience with the Nordost Blue Heaven, which I purchased the The Cable Company.

This cables made my system sound very thick. I tried to return them and the salesman at The Cable Co. (John Pharo) said they needed to settle in. Well, after 200+ hours, the sound was still as thick as day one.

I tried to return them again and John Pharo @ The Cable Co. never returned my emails or my phone calls. Other salespeople always forwarded my phone calls to his voice mail.

After many tries to return them, I ended up selling them at a lost.

I'm glad you found a dealer that's willing to work with you and that the new cables work well in your system.

David, yes they sound ridicously good, bud as you said they are stiff and difficult to manage. Also I have little room around the Solidsteel deck..

@ Philjolet: sure! thank you for the advice

Isanchez, sorry to hear that..btw last week I sent them a mail kindly asking for advices..thay never reply.
For what I learned, Nordost entry level products are shit, if you want the good stuff you have to go up on the scale, but it will cost you a fortune.
