Nordost users....time to upgrade!
We Nordost users like this pricey, cool looking brand for various reasons.
Odin II is known as the "final stop" for ultra setups. It is now 2nd tier to the latest.
I've tried it in my system. Everyone should demo it if they get the chance.
Just when you thought Odin was already over the top....Odin GOLD! Complete with gold plated conductors.

We're talking $200K+ to get a basic setup: 2 monoblocks, preamp, speakers and JUST ONE SOURCE!
I guess when you can roll big...YOU ROLL BIG! For some reason, this brings to mind Eastern Bloc track suit guy that annoyingly revs his Koenigsegg at a stoplight, as the target demographic?
Makes my Heimdall/Frey setup seem like the supplied cables you leave in the box.

I guess the place where the rollout occurred says a lot. But in my opinion, gold plated cable is really nothing more than a marketing gimmick. I have a few friends who went with Odin and Odin 2, opened their wallet wide and now regret it. Not that the Odin line is bad, as the SQ is top level, BUT here's the thing...there are cables available that can compete with it for a fraction of the price! These guys realized this and would not buy into the hype and 'upgadeitis' again. Not to say that Nordost won't sell a bunch of this gold Odin into their target market, they will...due to what tom2015 pointed out. However, to the more sophisticated and experienced hobbyist...I'm not so sure. |
"I have a few friends who went with Odin and Odin 2, opened their wallet wide and now regret it." Daveyf- Odin, like the rest(other $$brands) is still subject to what the ear likes. If anything, Norse Supreme will look great for those with gold finished equipment. https://audiovisualart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Fusion.jpg The Norse and Valhalla level is where the line shines. Not for everyone, just like all the other brands. |
Wow! I've listen to Odin II, We matched the quality for around 400.00 with ribbons and weaves. The only thing missing other than our ribbon cables looked different was the wooden weight blocks with a name burnt in. We didn't use CHEAP gold plated connection, or shrink tube with Odin II printed on it. We used silver plated red copper terminal ends.. The one thing that drove the cost up. Much better terminal ends and they were a cold welded. Polishing the silver is optional.. Regards |
