Analysis Plus Crystal ovals vs. Nordost Valhalla??

I'm putting in my order, next week, (finally have the $$) for a pair of Harmonix Golden Performance ICs. Never heard them, but heard tons of second hand (amazing) experiences. Enough to order a pair. I know a fellow audiophool, with a pair golden-i trust- ears, who has heard them AB'd against the Valhallas and the Harmonix were preferred. That was enough for me. Never steered me wrong yet. I'm also purchasing, at the same time, their Studio Master Power cords. Have heard the same 'bout these babies, as well. A buddy of mine replaced all his Elrods with these. Again, enough for me. And enough from me. Just some FWIW.....;peace, warren

TheDautch, your analysis was 'right on' in my opinion...after trying the Valhalla now for a week, they do add a few 'points' over the Crystal Ovals. I'm happy with all my components, so I can only realize system improvements with interconnects now, and improvements are definitely coming at a greater expense and diminishing return for the money invested.

The Valhalla are great, but their cost is more than the improvement in sound justifies...however, there was that improvement and it was noticeable and hard to resist.

Maybe the Valhalla are really good,they must be, for
the price they are asking they should perform.AP I
tried the oval 8 not impress at all.Try the TGaudio
or the luminous audio cables, this two cable surprised
me how good they are.I wonder why they are not popular
here at Agon.

You know, these Valhalla must be settling in.

They have brought the music TO LIFE!

I am sorry, but the Valhalla is worth every penny! Totally in a different league.

Please see classifieds for my AP cables or email me if interested in buying.... 1m Crystal OVals RCA, and 1M CO's w/xlr's.

Still good, but not Valhalla. My credit card is melting down! Help ME!!!!

The 1.5m Crystal Ovals w RCA are still for sale on Audiogon. Make an offer if you are interested.
