@Sidekick_i, yes, I have had Nordost throughout my system....twice. That's what I meant by "been there, done that". It didn't work for me, but that doesn't mean that it can't work for you.
Nordost is intoxicatingly transparent, but both times I found out that the further I went down that road, the more clinical or anemic the music began to sound. I know others that love it, so it's just a matter of tastes and system matching. I've found that Nordost sounds best with warmer sounding gear, equipment that needs a little extra life or resolution. Just be careful, too much of a good thing can become bad.
As always, YMMV.
