Valkyrja speaker cable versis valhalla

Well, the Valhalla is old hat, once a ref. Some folks like them but cottage folks like Pure Note and Audience build comparable cables at bargain prices.

Notice the new Nordost lines. See this post:

Well I still have the same speaker cable but have added the lamm 2.2 hybrid amplifier in the place of the rowland 302 amp.

I am still in the market for a speaker cable and lamm recommends purist, kubala, nirvana, silversmith, and cardas. I might go with cardas because its well respected and the least expensive in the reference series.

I have tried the valhallas but not with current equipment. I simply don't have the cash nor the desire to spend even used $3,500 for speaker cables (which the valhalla would cost used). I am going to budget $2,000 for used cables through audiogon. The trick is which one is best for my system and the mid-range and vocals is now stunning so just want a speaker cable that might tighten the low end somewhat. The nordost is tight but a little lean. The lamm has very good bass but not as tight as the rowland was.

Karmapolice, you'll find cables at that price point that will destroy Valhalla which is perhaps the most overhyped and underachieving speaker wire on the market. Look at pre-owned Virtual Dynamics, Acoustic Zen, Stealth, Ridge Street, etc. Another thought may be a new pair of Zu Cable's Ibis. It is their top of the line and costs around $1200 new. 6moons gave it a superb review.
