Need "warm" interconnects advice

why would you want to color your system with cables? I look to the least influence a cable provides.

I owned the Valhalla loudspeaker cable for over 12 years of time. When it came out it was for some years the reference in loudspeakercables. Based on speed and resolution.

But all tests with 100% Valhalla were all dissapointing. Because essential parts were missing for the absolute sound. These days there are more cables who surpass the quality easilly. Time and technique go on.

At the end all parts togheter of your set create the overwhole sound including your room.

We compared the Valhalla loudspeakercable wih the Cardas Golden reference in the past. Maybe it sounds warmer overwhole. I remember the faces of the people who owned the Golden Reference. The Valhalla had so much more details and separation. After this test they put there Golden Reference for sale.

Warmer sound with cables is possible, but you will loose in other parts.

I think you need to look for newer cables with newer techniques.

I no longer use this ic, but owned it for years, very special and more
importantly perfect for you. He will most likely let you try it.

So it looks to me as if you are seeking a warm interconnect to tame some of the brightness of the Nordost Valhalla speaker cables.

Yes, Jade cables are warm and sweet, and would definitely help. So would replacing the Nordost Valhalla with just about any other speaker cable.

Audioquest, Acoustic Zen, Harmonic Technology, Cardas, Kubala Sosna, Tara Labs, really, just about any other brand will sound less thin and etched than the Nordost Valhalla. The Valhalla will work fine in systems that are a bit too warm and slow, but you don't seem to need the Valhalla's.

Not overly warm but having great musicality I can whole heartedly recommend Antipodes cables. I don't have their latest cables which I was told is less laid back than the previous version, but regardless, I dont think these cables get the credit they deserve. I had MIT, ridge street audio, nordost, audience plus, cardas, synergistic research, acoustic zen, and high fidelity and prefer Antipodes to any of them.
