Prana Deva vs. Nordost Valhalla


Has anyone been able to directly compare these interconnects/cables? What were the sonic differences? Which was better in your system and why?

I have the Prana Wire Cosmos in my system now and have used Valhalla in the past. Ordinarily I would not compare a $1250.00 (Prana Deva) cable to a $4000.00 (Valhalla) cable, but the Prana cable line are not ordinary cables. When I called Joe at Prana to auditioned the Cosmos line he did not have any of the Cosmos cables built to send out for audition, so he sent a pair of Nataraja series. While the Valhalla does everything well, the Prana Wire Nataraja just did it better, more naturally. The Cosmos took this to a even higher level. Each Prana Wire cable is built by hand from the ground up by Joe himself. The process takes time but the result is worth the wait

Hello Kmiller,

I would just like to say that if you can to try the Valhalla in your system. If you need a dealer to get a in home audition I can put you in touch with one.

All the best to you,

kmiller,
i tried several of the promenent cable makers out there, and have used the siltechs g6 top- of -the-line for about 3 years ,before i switched most of my cables to the prana cosmos speaker cables and i/c, and smahdis power cords.( i also use stealth's indra between source and preamp, and 3 of the stealth dream digital power cords on my dcs).
while there are several great attributes to the valhalas , it wans't my cup of tea... too dry and uninvolving to my ears.
the pranas ,on the other hand, were full bodied ,very musical ,and allowed great amount of detais to emerge.

hope this helps.

I currently am using some cheaper silver cables and am wondering which of the two (Valhalla or Prana Deva) will give me the most benefit in this area without being harsh on the top end.
Well, I am going to try out some deva interconnects so we will see. I will post my findings.
