Nordost Brahma vs Heimdall 2 power cords

Any sharing of experience on the above will be appreciated

I use McIntosh MCD 500 CDP, C48 preamp, MC302 amp

Currently with 2 x Heimdall 2 power cords feeding the pre and amp from Quantum QB4. I use Quantum QX2 between QB4 and the wall mains.

Reason I ask is that I read raving Brahma reviews everywhere, and while Valhalla power cord price is easily 3 times Brahma or Heimdalls; I wonder if I should (1) look for Brahmas instead of Valhallas; or (2) stay with the Heimdalls 2

YUou haven't been keeping up with the threads. I just wanted to beat Elizibeth to the punch as every single power cord question come3s back with Pangea from her.

Gets very old very fast.

So anyway, yes, the answer to every single power cord question is Pangea. Every single one.

Rhljazz and Tom.

Thanks. I am now hunting for Valhalla PC as much as i can. I've experienced Valhalla IC on my system and theyre so awesome that listen at higher volume looking for tunes i have never heard before with my old CDs.

There's got to be similar good then with Valhalla PC.

Hi

Just want to make this a full circle. I took the plunge and bought brahma PC replacing Heimdall Norse 2 PC.

I like the Brahma much much better. Highs are more relaxed but retained its form. Bass is well defined, controlled but quite deep.

Advise that audiogoners to jump on brahma if one finds it for sale second hand.

Quite satisfied myself that i find answer to my own question. When people say that Brahma is quite to Valhalla, theyre saying it not without merit.

Thanks for looking

I am still breaking in 4 1M Blue Heaven connected to the QB4 that has a 4M BH connected to the wall. If you can afford it, try an Odin. How do you like the QX2? I have BH LS IC and a Heimdal IC with BH Rev II speaker wires. They sure make some good wires. I'd love to try some Odin. Best of luck.
