Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables

Omegaman, I would suggest you might want to put on your audition list the Acoustic Zen Absolute reference IC's, that retail for $2400.00 a pair. I compared them to Nordost Valhallas and liked them much better in my system. $2400.00 is not exactly "chicken feed", but these cables compete with some of the best stuff out there and are much less expensive. Hope this helps.

Thanks Teajay. Have you heard the AZ interconnects in conjunction witth Valhallas or Valkyrjas? I have heard a lot of great things about AZ cables too.

have had alot of cables come and go over the years and i always come back to xlo signature 2 for ic's....they are utterly neutral with incredible resolution all the through range (in my opinion) always do a listening test)

kinda pricey @ $600 meter but will go toe to toe with anything 3x to 4x its price so it is a bargain imo...).

i think once you go over $600-$800 there might be really minor improvement and a super steep decline of diminishing returns

I dumped my Valhalla suite and upgraded to the Pure Note Paragons. I then spent my extra money from that sale on upgrading my components. I now have have far better sound due to this better balance (no longer too much money invested in overpriced cables).

Omegaman, I did not mix the Acoustic Zen IC's with the Nordost Vallhalla speaker wires when I was auditioning the Nordost products. My hunch would be that the AZ IC's would give the transparency and details that the Nordost speaker wires have to offer, but also add a "liquidity/warmth" that I find lacking in Nordost products in general. So, they might give you very good synergy together in your system, but you would really have to audition them together in your system to really find out what would happen. I think it would be worth running the experiment.
