Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2

skrymar.

Just seen your response now, and i can say that i am testing loudspeaker cable , my dealer lent me a pair of Frey 2. 
And home i went , listening to some music on my current Yter speaker cables which i run biwired... and always thought they did pretty good.
But i was not prepared for the Frey 2 making such a difference ... better seperation in the soundstage , much deeper soundstage , much quieter , so no i not only am upgrading my power cords , but will also have to think of speaker cables.
The Heimdall 2 power cord , took from December to March before it settled in ( it could also be the QB 4 ) but now its really good for the money.
Just ordered a Frey 2 Power cord.

And congratulations on your purchase , i am sure you are in audio nirvana , despite your wallet is broke :-)   

Nice thread. Been reading it as I have added some Nordost cables. I have a new Vahalla 2 power cable I use from the Wall to the QB8. Then a frey 2 on the McIntosh preamp. This is my dilemma. Nordost can still make the Odin power cable. Not talking Odin 2. But the cost for the Odin power isn’t that much more than the V2.

Anyone here demo’d the odin? I will need at least 3 more power cords; for each of the McIntosh power amps, and the DAC. Probably like many here, I can't afford all at once. Kind of buy one then recover, then another. :) 

I have an all Nordost system.  For years I had been using a Valhalla 1 PC to power my Qbase.   About a year ago I bought an Odin 1 PC and inserted it to power my Qbase.  Wow what a difference!  It is so much better in every way over the Valhalla 1 PC.  I now have 3 Valhalla 1 PC’s plugged into my Qbase that the Odin 1 PC is feeding.  I have not tried a Valhalla 2 PC but would like to.  I use Sort Fut, Sort Kones (TC) and Valhalla 2 speaker cables.  I went from Tyr 2 to Valhalla 2 speaker cables and thought the jump was huge.  I think the jump from a Valhalla 1 PC to an Odin 1 PC was way bigger.  For me (in my system) power cords made the biggest improvement followed by speaker cables then interconnects.

I see that your using NordOst Sort Fut , what did they do for your speakers ? 

@fdpdk,  inserting Nordost Sort Fut in place of the stock spikes really brought the music into focus.  Instruments and voices within the soundstage became more defined and separated.  It kind of has the effect of focusing a telescope or binoculars.  Stillpoints Ultra 5's and IsoAcoustics Gaia's are similar products.... Also using Sort Kones under components resulted in a very positive and similar effect.
