I am using Nordost Valhalla1 and Tyr 1 XLR’s with Kharma DB7 speakers.
Power cable Advice...
Hi - I am upgrading my PC's from the basic stock to something higher end. Working with a budget up to $1,500 per cable (used will get me bigger bang for the buck) for the following products:
- Pass Labs X250.5 Power Amp
- Atma-Sphere MP-3 Preamp
- Electrocompaniet EMC1
TIA. Joey

@teleos go with Nordost Norse 2. A bit fuller sounding than the series 1… I like it a lot better. I would say if you’re upgrading power cables try Frey 2 on amp and Heimdall 2 on preamp and cd player. If you want a lot fuller sound the the AQ stuff should work. |
@mclinnguy the Gargantua II is a good all rounder. It’s a bit dark sounding with emphasis on bass. If a system calls for this kind of sound, it’ll work wonders. But don’t expect insane instrument separation like you’d get from the similarly priced Nordost (retail price that is). It’s thick and syrupy that’s my recollection of it. At some point I had GII throughout my whole system. May be that’s the reason I sold it…was too much of a good thing. |
