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.

"my money would go to Kimber Naked Series."

laltik-

1M pair of IC's @$12K-BARGAIN! Nice looking too.
A  used pair of Valhalla MAYBE Odin(older) can also be  had for the same cost.
Kimber appears to have done their spin on what Nordost does for "air dielectric".

All too much for this  audiophool pauper.

oldhvymec :

These below are the speaker cables I just ordered from your China seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202996838435

I ordered two pairs for bi-amping. For that price, worth a shot. I can just give them away to friends and family, or keep them as substitute, in-between speaker cables, if they are trash. We'll see

thyname, that cable you bought is one I haven't used. The one I bought didn't have collars and I swapped rhodium spades for silver over copper spades. I told you where to get the spades. That's the third source and the only one with pure silver 68 conductor PTFE ribbon. Maybe twice a year. I don't know what the deal is either..

This is a cable I've used over and over with a spade swap
