Nordost Cable Sale

Jmcgrogan2,
Thanks for the responses. It looks like they are closing out the Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva power cords, since they are not listed on the Norse web site anymore. The Brahma is the most expensive.
Based on Norse's literature, the priority of upgrading power cords is as follows:

1. Power Conditioner
2. Pre-Amp
3. Power Amp
4. DAC
5. CD Player / Computer audio

I have a pre-amp, preamp-processor and amp that I might want to upgrade the power cables (3 total). I can't afford the Brahma for all 3, but can afford the Vishnu. Do you think it is worth upgrading to the Vishnu?

Try to add at least one Brahma to the mix if you can swing it. I'm in the process of upgrading from the old to the new norse line and will try a few Frey2 PC and compare against the Brahma and Valhalla. They are supposed to be closer to the Valhalla.

Let me know I could offer you a Vishnu or Brahma to try and if you like it, I would do better than the 50% deal. I'm not sure what that pricing is but I will check.

The Brahma and Frey IMO is where the old line started to really shine. Heimdall is close. I will post back and try my best to be objective. I bought my Frey speaker cables two weeks before the new launch so I have no love for Nordost right now but do think they have something right and I like the cables more than over a dozen others I've tried.

Roubaixpro, the Vishnu should be fine for preamp and pre-pro. I wouldn't use it for the amp though, due to using only (3) 16 gauge conductors I wouldn't think the Vishnu would be applicable for power conditioners or power amps.

Jmcgrogan2, my amp is a Classe CT-5300 300W 5-channel amp used for both home theater and 2 channel music. Do you have any recommendations on moderately priced power cords for this amp?

Well you'd have to clarify "moderately priced", as this can mean many things to many people. That said, I think the VH Audio Flavor 4 and Airsine are considered to be very good value power cords. They are a bit different than the Nordost though, a bit more dynamic and powerful but with less speed and resolution.

I actually have a cord that is pretty similar in design and sound to the Brahma, which I plan to replace with the Brahma. Audio Horizons Transparency cord. Audio Horizon and Nordost both use silver clad copper conductors.

Another very good cord, but may be a bit too pricey for you is the Fusion Audio Enchanter.

To help me know what moderately priced represents to you, let me know a price range, length needed and what you are looking from the cord. Do you want a cord with more speed and resolution like the Nordost? A cord with more power and dynamics?
