Nordost Frey 2; what should I expect?

mattmiller: what about sense of depth behind the speakers

I sold Nordost for over 9 years of time. I owned and sold Valhalla a lot. But in stage depth you always will loose depth when you bring in Nordost.

You need to use Nordost just for a part. A whole Nordost loom will be incomplete.

You need to understand that each brand in cables own their own DNA. This means that the stage and sound differs a lot between brands.

I always called Nordost incomplete. Because it is not the best in stage depth. Beside this you will not create a sharp and intimate individual focus of voices and instruments. I sold it a lot with Kimber interconnects.

During blind shootouts all clients prefered the combo of Nordost and Kimber to a whole Nordost loom. It is very easy to explain why?

Because you add properties so it makes it more complete.

BO1972 I agree with you, one brand can't do it all, kimber n Nordost seems a good combo, true cables should not be use to tune systems, but it's hard not to, I use other brand to balance..,,my heimdall2 Nordost match well with Audioquest ic.,,,

Well after few weeks into the Frey 2 speaker cooking time I think they are great cables. Frankly I don’t know where the bright and thin comments come from. In particular the clarity with unexpected super smoothness will keep these here a very long time. Added two pairs of matching ic’s and hearing my best sound yet with some pretty nice components to include Revel, Bricasti, Agostino and Krell. Very beautiful sound IMO. I think these cables let you hear the quality of your components in a very musical way. FWIW
