Nordost repair

"Interesting. And you reached out to them using their web form, correct?"

Yes, I reached out thru their "contact us" page. I'll just chalk it to "stuff happens."

I guess if I look at the big picture-purchased used private, 1/4 of list, almost 10 years of use, I can't expect company support like I purchased it full MSRP from a dealer.

Nordost is still my personal choice for cable. I just can't justify paying list for their products. 

Yep. Let’s hope it’s an anomaly. 
 

As to the quality of cables, agreed. I’m a big fan of nordost cables. My Tyr 2 XLRs are the best sounding interconnects I ever heard on my system. Just hope they don’t break. Lol

audphile1-

I'm not a DIY guy, but will attempt to repair things if it appears not too involved.

Since Nordost uses solid core wire, I would think it would be straight forward, as long as you use a proper stripping tool and decent soldering iron/tip.

A little nerve wracking since I used a bicycle cable stripper, and care is necessary to avoid chopping off the P/N wires which are individually insulated.

Speaker wire however, looks like  more advanced DIY skills/tools which I lack.

Current Tyr2 pricing-OUCH!  I'd use that level if I had $20K+ amp. 

I have a yes they do/no they don't thing with cable. Sat thru many Nordost demos and my hearing doesn't catch some of the stuff others hear once going into the Valhalla/Odin level. That's the stuff  you play with though, once you're in the $50K+ level for your amps/gear.

Tyr 2 interconnects used are decently priced. Speaker cables and power cords though, yeah that hurts. I went el cheapo for my mono block amps with power cords for time being (audience forte f3). But am on a lookout for Tyr 2 or Frey 2 power cords.

audphile1-You arguably get 80% or more of what the Odin pc does with the "sane" pricing of the Blue Heaven power cord. It's basically the same design. Nordost was smart choosing the  BH pc as entry to the next level of their cable insanity. The price difference probably isn't much between the Audience and BH.

If you sit thru a Nordost demo, it's the Blue Heaven PC they use to illustrate the Nordost characteristics compared to everything else. 

I have tried the mighty Odin II power cord/speaker cable in my setup. I'll just say that level is for "that level" of gear.
