I’ve not heard DH Labs signal or power cords in a while. I did have their AES/EBU, SPDIF Coax and USB digital cables. I thought they were excellent value.
I use Nordost Heimdall 2 power cords on streamer and Frey 2 power cords on DAC and integrated amp. DAC drives the amp via Nordost Tyr 2 XLRs in my system. Well balanced cables with natural tone that don’t emphasize any particular frequency. Very transparent. I have compared these cables to similarly priced Kimber, Audioquest, Acoustic Zen, Analysis Plus and several others.
Now what does this tell you? Just that I like them in my system in my room. How these will compare to DH Labs only you can tell when you do the A/B testing in your system. That’s the only way to find out.

I really like DH Labs. I also have Nordost Blue Heaven. The Blue Heaven are good , the DH Air Matrix Cryo are better shielded and have better plugs. Which sound better? I don't think either have a signature just good well balanced cables. I think DH is a good value, I'm thinking of getting some speaker cable with their 20% off sale. |
DH Labs also has a Cyber Monday DIY sale, 25% off bulk cable and connectors. I too would like to know about Nordost. I don't know why, my Q10s are doing good but I have a hankering to try some Red Dawn or similar. Both of course are silver plated copper. IF this helps, the Q10s can hold it's own against Acoustic Zen Satori. |
I have nothing against the various companies mentioned above. I just want to let you guys know of a giant killer new company out there by the name of Veritas Cables, their website is under construction and the only availably I know of is to phone them directly or find their ad on USAM. There is at least one write up in the Audiogon Forum: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/veritas-cables-a-new-brand-that-i-found I am not affiliated with any company in any way, just a very satisfied customer, that wants to pass along a good thing while their sale is still in progress. |
