Wow, $10k+ cables

@rspyder. Your experience switching from O1 ics to O2 matches my own. You said it much better than I could.  

I was of the same opinion until I auditioned Ansuz C2 and D2 PCs and Interconnects. Not quite $10K (list), but not far from. I now have a full loom of C2's. All I can tell you is I do not think I could have invested the money in any other part of the system and achieved more gratifying results. You really can't know the full potential of your system until you put in great cables. I recommend obtaining loaners from a dealer, for whichever brands you are interested in, and hear for your self in your own system. And in the case of Azus, dealer discounts of between 30% - 60% are not uncommon.

Thank You for the report on Ansuz. Whom is your dealer/retailer?
I have been wanting to audition these Cables/Cords. 

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the report on Nordost. Another +vote for a cable/cord that exhibits detailed, fast- transients (super fast). 

Happy Listening!

The description of the Nordost Odin1 is very much like the first power cord bewgow sent me. Impressively solid imaging, incredibly detailed, extremely fast and extended, and with excellent dynamics- but thin, especially in the bass, so that the overall impression was tipped up or hyped rather than smooth and balanced.  

But then the second version Supernova eliminated all those faults while raising the bar even a tiny little bit higher, with rock solid imaging only this time with subterranean bass, full body, and liquid smooth top end.
