Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable

Life in the Nordost line begins at Vahalla 2, I have a full set of Odin 1 - Odin 2 throughout, I had the chance to demo V2 speaker cables on my system, you will be very impressed with detail, clarity, imaging, control, and how they transform your midrange. You get what you pay for, and you will won't be disappointed. 

Sit back and enjoy.......

I have the Valhalla 2's in my system and they just sing! I had mine burned is as well but they will still a hundred hours or so before they are fully mature.  Congratulations.  You will love them.

There is a reason why many audio equipment presenters at audiofests.select either NORDOST ODIN / VALHALLA , or CARDAS CLEAR BEYOND / CLEAR cable looms, as the dominant brand cohort

One size does NOT fit all: Each has its own bespoke sonic signature 

You'll be very happy with your Valhallas. I had Valhalla many years ago, and it's a great cable. It's top card is transparency, and it has that in spades.

I have Tyr 2 now, and have for years now, and it's a fantastic cable as well. I am guessing your dealer wants to do the burn-in because Nordost takes hundreds of hours to burn in. One time, I had a brand new pair of Frey 2, and it took them weeks to break in. 300-400 is standard burn-in time for Nordost, and it will sound VERY bright  before its burned in. In fact, so bright that you will not want to play music loudly. I remember listening to a Supremes Anthology, and it (the Nordost) was SO bright, I couldn't listen at any volume. It actually hurt my ears, and that was the first (and only) time in 40 years that a cable was that bright.  After it burned in, it was great.

Give the new cables additional 2-3 weeks of play time after the initial burn in by upscale and enjoy. 
I am hoping to try the Valhalla 2 speaker cables one day but that won’t be very soon 

As to Nordost lines and mixing with other cables…

I use Frey 2 power cords on DAC and amp. I’ve tried a lot of different power cables over the years, these are the best do far. Looking to try Tyr 2 this year. Interconnects are Tyr 2 XLRs. Again, I compared a lot of interconnects and these sound the best to me. Speaker cables are Audience FrontRow. So mixing and matching is key. The system sounds ridiculously good.
