opinions on Nordost PC

I only use Purist Audio for powercables. I do consulting in sound&vision. And always test a lot. In my world those products which give the best results count.

That changes overtime. You judge audio on many different parts.


In the 9 years I sold Nordost I always said: it is incomplete. That is why I sold it with Kimber interconnects. Because clients always chose it over a full Nordost cable set.

I don’t sell brand, I sell a sound. They thing I do it colleting properties. This makes audio superior in result.

Because when a set is more complete, it owns a higher level of emotion. Each person always will choose for the best emotional sound.

That is why I use Tru-Fi to create my sound. Tru-Fi consists of 8 parts you judge sound for. And they all influences our emotion.

I auditioned a full Valhalla 2 cable set. And I heared the same limitations. Because it still has the same properties as in the past.

It is more precise and a little more forgiving compared tot the past. But you still hear the same limitations.

They are stage depth and witdth. A less sharp individual focus of instruments and voices. A lower blacklevel.

I have done thousands of test in 18 years of time. Most were with cables. In the past I have done a few thousands tests with Nordost as well.

I still think they make a unique product, but you need to understand the properties to use them in a set.

We don't have Anzus cables overhere, I cannot judge about that.

Music is all about emotion. Emotion is based on diversity in the middle freq. Differences in volume and in dynamics.

That is why I work by Tru-Fi. Because this contains all the different parts you judge sound for. 

This makes it a lot more easy to understand music and to create a higher level of realism and emotion.

With Nordost it is difficult to create a realistic and emotional sound like in real. It is very easy for me to explain it and even during shootouts with cables. 

I learn my clients all the different parts you judge sound for. We always focus us on all the different parts you judge sound for.

This makes it more easy for all people to understand it. In the last 9 years I broyght many people from 2D to 3D sound. Because stage depth and width has a big influence on how people get emotional and exited by their music.

When I did run aan audio shop I always had a 2D and 3d system ready for shootout. All people directly choose for 3D image.

I don't bash Nordost, I only tell about my personal thoughts. We live in a free world. Don't bother, it is just an upinion.

So why did you sell incomplete sounding Nordost cables for over 9 years? As a dealer was profit margin that good? Was that the best there was during that time frame? Or if your hearing just got better why are you the expert now? In 'my opinion' there is no 1 cable fits all be it a power/interconnect/speaker cable.

You say you don't bash Nordost. Please re read any of your first posts when someone asks a Nordost question.

I did not sell incomplete Nordost, if you read well you could read that I sold it with Kimber.

You need to use Nordost the right way, I never said that you cannot use it.

When you compare cables you hear that each cable has it's overall sound and the way the image is being build.

The benefit of using more brands, is that you add more different properties to your set

Because the sound and image you hear is build by all the different properties of each part in your set including the acoustics.

Audio changes all the time, you need to focus on those products who give the best results at this moment.

By using Tru-Fi you can add more properties to each set. This means that the level of emotion will become higher.

When you listen to a whole Nordost cable set, you miss essential parts. People who owned a full Nordost set often came to me that they were not satisfied. So I explained them what the reason was.

When I started shootouts with Kimber and Nordost togheter many peole got exited. The only thing I did was adding other properties to make it more complete and appealing.
