Nordost Valhalla Power Cords

Hello Tom, thanks, how have you been? I stopped over at Earl's place just before Christmas. His system is sounding terrific. He has all the BAT/Nordost stuff, like you I believe. He has his Avalon speakers, what are you driving again?

John ... Eidolon Diamonds

LOL! So your system is VERY similar to Earl's!! Do you also have a VPI/Dynavector analog front end?

I think, it is System depending, some Designs react more, some less. I listened to Nordost ODIN power cords and I heard no improvement (with Lamm Tube amps) which justified their pricing.

John, although our systems are Very similar they're not identical. What can I say? ... I guess Earl enjoys coming over to listen to music as much as I enjoy having him.

The differences in our rooms have the biggest impact on the sound of his system vs. mine. I'm only running a digital front-end. The EMM's DAC2/TDS1 performance is quite considerable over Earl's EMM single-box. I'm also using a Finite Elemente Reference rack which is an improvement over the Zoethecus he is using at this time.

Back to the Valhalla P.C.s. I STRONGLY recommend to others that you try these in your system. I would not have thought a P.C. could have this kind of an impact a system's sound. Can only imagine how good the Odin must be!

enjoy,
Tom
