Nordost Tyr vs Audience Au24e

I just upgraded from AZ Satori SC's to Nordost Tyr with the sales going on, couldn't resist. Huge improvement in detail and speed. They are still breaking in, but the detail is there without being lean, just sounds higher quality :-).

I would like to try Nordost 2 series, but I usually buy used gear. If I go with Tyr, i might get a new one since there are sales of the old series with good prices. I tried the Frey. The detail and speed was breathtaking, it wasn't bright or sharp at all, but in my system it sounded a bit lean. Frey with a bit more body to the sound would be perfect! I heard that Tyr is a more analog-like and fuller sounding. Any suggestions on what other stuff I should audition would be much appreciated guys.

I though the same thing when I first auditioned the Frey but later realized what I was hearing was more 'air' between the instruments and vocals. Unfortunately at that time my local Nordost dealer didn't have the Tyr's. Valhalla was the best but too far away from my price range.

Yesterday i connected Tyr to my equipment. Comparing to Frey it's a whole different beast! It has much more weight and is really smooth. I sounds more analog-like to me. I was searching for something that will give me the best of Frey and my Cardas Golden Presence and I think that Tyr ticks all the right boxes! Great cable!

REPLACED MY NORDOST TYR XLR IC'S WITH TARALABS 'THE ONE'. BETTER IN EVERY AREA ON MY SS SYSTEM.
