Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio

i like the tuneful/belden cables

nice story here, after the beloved listener and stereophile reviewer art dudley passed, i saw his daughter listing various of his hifi items, and one item i bought from her was his pair of these plain brown tuneful cables, which he obviously also enjoyed and wrote about

when communicating to purchase this set of ic’s i realized it was her, what was happening, and i told her how much i enjoyed her dad’s writings and when he gave up on his ’listener’ magazine, how sad i was that he couldn't sustain that publication

then when she sent me the cables she included a couple of his signed copies of listener that they still had in art’s home she was cleaning through... i already had the full set of listener issues of course, but it was very sweet of her to send me those copies he had signed, evidently for some publicity event/show

“I may stick with Nordost interconnects - Norse level Heimdall.”

There are certainly better options than pouring money into Nordost cable lineup below TYR2, IME.

Thanks for that sweet story Steve. I had a real affection for Art and was frequently on the same wavelength with his views on gear. That was really thoughtful of his daughter to send you that. It has a good home with you.

I agree with roxy54. What a memorable story and a keepsake you will cherish forever.  

Well, here is where I'm at, if I go with used cables. I know Nordost are a good, fairly consistent, match with Conrad Johnson amps and preamps. I've read numerous post on the CJ users website regarding interconnects. I current have Red Dawn speaker cables. Some consider these a sweet spot in the Nordost speaker cable lineup. Obviously, the higher end Nordost are much better and cost two times as much. Unfortunately, they are not within my budget or system's requirements. I'm not running a 20K amp etc. lalitk mentioned better interconnects are available at the Heimdall 2 RCA used price point. Any real life comparisons or feedback on this topic?
