Nordost Valhalla Power Cords

Nice example. I sold a Baldur loudspeaker set a few years ago. My client says to me: can you order Baldur interconnect for me. I said, If I were you I would not do this. Why: because you will get a less focussed image and you will loose depth. He said: oke I believe you. So I advised to buy Kimber select. So he bought it. Two weeks after he got the Kimber he phoned me. You were right about the Baldur interconnect. He borrowed the Baldur of a dealer were he lived. With the Kimber voices and instruments were much sharper foccused. And the sound was more musical and pleasant.

@Jmcgrogan2. Subjective, indeed. Have you ever tried Nordost-cabling throughout your system?

Hi Bo1972, I have herd the samething,no emotion,, running all Nordost cables thru out a system,I was a professional musician for 20 years,LOL,now at 46 yrs old, I do not do touring eanymore,your point about knowledge of live,real music,I totally agree with you,It helps me alot to have that kind of experience,I have never listened to Kimber select cables before,I have known about Kimber cables for years,so I suppose I cannot coment on Kimber cables,Have you listened to the Taralabs Cobalt A/c power cable before?,I am considering buying one,what is your opinion on that cable?

I sold Taralabs for some time. I liked it a lot. But Taralabs were difficult company to deliver cables to Holland. Most people don't know how an instrument sounds in real. Wenn I listen to Avalon ( sold it for many years), Spectral and MIT togheter( sold it for manu years and I owned it) for me it is difficult to hear to classical music. A violin does sound a lot different in real. I prefer classical music in sound realism played by Sonus Faber and B&W 800, 801 and 802. The things I miss with these brands are 3d holograhpic sound. I did not try powercables of Taralabs. Not the better ones they have. What I said earlier for poweramps I love the Purist Audio Design cables. Tuesday I will receive my Limited Edition 2013 powercable. I sold a lot of Valhalla powercables. Most of them were for cd players, sometimes conditioners, preamps and only a few times for poweramps.

Hi Bo1972,The cobalt power cord is the current top-line a/c cord,kinda exspensive,not as exspensive as the nordost odin!,and the performace of the odin power cord does not justify paying more for it over the tara to me,I will be useing the cobalt a/c on a cd-player,It seems to get great effect there,I guess I been around a while myself,The avalon,mit,spectral, you mentioned,I have had alot of exsperience with myself,liked the avalon speakers,did not like mit cables or spectral,they were just not for me,purist audio design are great cables indeed!,one of the best period!,I wanted the cabolt to match the tara zero gold I/C I have,have you ever listened to this I/c before?,cheers!
