Prana Deva vs. Nordost Valhalla

I currently am using some cheaper silver cables and am wondering which of the two (Valhalla or Prana Deva) will give me the most benefit in this area without being harsh on the top end.

Well, I am going to try out some deva interconnects so we will see. I will post my findings.

It would depend on your tonal balance of your system at the moment. The good and bad thing about the valhalla is that it is essentially neutral. if your system is warmish it will tighten things up slightly but allow all that warmth to flow thru unimpeded. If your system has any edge or brightness the valhalla will show it for what it is.

First I tried the Valhalla power cords. I could not believe what I was hearing. I was so impressed with what I was hearing that I figured I should try the Valhalla interconnects and speaker cables.

At first I just installed the interconnect between the DAC and the pre-amp and lived with that for 3 weeks. Wow, things sounded a whole lot better.

Then I installed another interconnect between my pre-amp and my amps and also hooked up the speaker cable. This really took my already great sounding system over the top. It was a learning lesson in what neutral is. The system is more detailed and relaxed at the same time. Things just sound more realistic then ever, with vibrant texture of tones, bigger sound space with air, air, and more air. Highly recommended!

Hope you find what works for you.
All the best,

I was the first one in Holland with the Valhalla speakercable, when the Valhalla powercables came out, I also bought a few of these. But I can say one thing to you, to much Valhalla will give you focus problems. You will loose individual focus. I tried many times 100% Valhalla, but it is not working like I wanted it. Valhalla gives you more resolution. I tried many many powercables, but I never heard a powercable with so much resolution. 100% Valhalla gives you also less depth information. When you use Valhalla for a part in your system it will lift your whole system to a higher level. I also sold many Valhalla cables, and I know what it can do in your system. Listen to it and you will be impressed what it can do. I have the posibillity to listen to many many cables. But Valhalla can do things no other cables can do.
