Nordost Valhalla Power Cords

Hi Polyglot. Use the longest length of Valhalla PC between the wall socket and your distributor. Best PC (IME) should go there.

Also agree with Jussy. The Odin is a big step up from Valhalla. Nordost often comment that one Odin in primary position with say Vishnu's everywhere else compares favorably with an all Valhalla loom.

Thanks Kiwi. RE the ODIN main in and all the rest Vishnu PC loom, Lars of NordOst has demonstrated this in Shanghai. Any Goners have tried this? If this works, I will gladly upgrade to ODIN for the main tier and use all Vishnu downstream.

I owned them and I sold many of them. For source and pre-amp they can take your set to a higher level. But for amps there are many better options. Purist Audio for example is for poweramps superior. You hear it in the low freq. it goed dieper and you hear more layers. In the mid freq it is opener and better focused. Depth is also better than Valhalla. Wenn I used 100% Valhalla you will always loose depth and individual focus. I have done these tests over and over again. For me it is as simple as 1 and 1 is 2

My experience has been the same as Bo's. Valhalla has great resolution and top end. But you might find more weight, depth with other cables. In my experience they worked very well on my preamps, but I felt that the thinned out my digital front end too much, some more than others. Odin might be the ticket, but I have never tried them.

Odin has more authority. But the same problem in weight and depth. But it also misses an extreemly sharp imaging. Acoustic sound is very direct and small in dimension. Sound lacks emotion. I still think Nordost is useful for a part. Only using Nordost is never a Walhalla. Because there are always important parts missing what should be there for a perfect ballanced sound. Nordost people always became irritated when I said this. They said: it is your personal preference. But all the people with who I did the tests had the same conclusions. It is as it is. Some people have problems to face the truth!
