Nordost ICs mixing with other speaker cables

Every Nordost cable I've tried has been replaced with something else. As always, YMMV.

I have had great success mixing Nordost IC's with other manufacturer's products. One of the few combinations that I actually didn't like was an all Nordost system. Too spotlit sounding for me.
I have the same experience as Wescoman's above. The Heimdal/Mapleshade combination is killer. Bright, but sounds fantastic.

I upgraded to an all NORDOST FREY kit,

(a) Started with FREY XLR ICs .... a big improvement as expected so far ... great!

(b)I then next upgraded the speaker cables to NORDOST FREY shotgunned speaker cables with matched jumpers: = another quantum leap in improvement that was not subtle.

THE POINT: there is synergy in an all NORDOST system
