Analysis Plus Crystal ovals vs. Nordost Valhalla??

Anyone that can tell me what I can expect if I spent the bigger bucks for the Nordost?

I am using it to connect CD player (linn Ikemi) via XLR 1.0m run to a McIntosh C100 pre-amp.

It's a nice, clean sounding system right now. Will it get better?

I have the Crystal Ovals also connecting to two MC352 vertically bi-wired amps, also XLR to preserve this system's wonderfully fully balanced concept. These will have to stay for a while, although I would consider switching these to Valhalla in the future also.

Thanks,,,, appreciate anyone's experience/opinions.

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!!!!
