Nordost is amazing cable, but contrary to how 2 posters described it, definitely not "zippy city".
I upgraded from Clear Day silver XLR's to Nordost Tyr 2 about a year ago and one of the changes was a much weightier mid range. Excellent cables, musical, 3 dimensional, and detailed, just not "zippy".
Within the last week I upgraded my Clear Day double shotgun speaker cables and jumpers to Valhalla 2 and Nordost reference jumpers, but they are both still settling in and I cannot yet accurately comment on them except to say I love the evolving improvements so far.
