Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion


Hi folks
I recently bought a pair of Nordost BH speaker cables, after many hours of burn in (they were used, however) the sound still being lean, harsh in the upper frequencies and after all they lack some weight.
I'm now looking for a fair neutral, big soundstage, and with a lot of punch and kick in the bass region pair of speaker cables.

Right now I'm using Nac A5 with better results.

Bouget 500 bucks more of less.

lenght required 4mt - about 13ft

the rig is the follow:

ampli: hegel h100
speakers: Ruark Talisman II
cdp: Naim cd5i
analog source: Rega P5
Ics: virtual dinamics

ps. where I live now I'm not able to audion any cable, so any advice is very welcome.

Hi Rockness87,I like to know the outcome here myself,there is so many budget cables out there,keep us posted on your decision and your evaluations on the cable you aquire,thanks,cheers!
@ Audiolabyrinth:
I came to the conclusion that for not waste more money it would be better to try before buy. So this morning I went to the shop (umm it's more a showroom) in my town and the dealer gave me 2 cables to audition: "Audience Conductor e" and "Transparent Music Wave Super". Right now I'm listening the first one. Wow! these cables rise my system to all another level! very well balanced, neutral, tight and deep bass, good soundstage, and finally the foor trembles again. Also they are very musical, or better say that they tend to disappear letting the music be the leader. Good sense of PRaT also.

you probably know this but try to listen to them for a few weeks to really know what they sound like then switch to the second pair

thanks for sharing
If your using Virtual dynamics ICs, why not stick with the same company. When new, I think they were ludicrously overpriced, but now they are quite reasonable. I use single wired Revelation cables. They were about £5000 new, I got them for £600. They really are excellent, neutral, but really punchy, great base and treble, without being bright or etched.

I am getting rid of mine, having said that, after 4 years. They are so stiff and heavy, they are difficult to connect and dress.

Rockness87,

I had the same experience with the Nordost Blue Heaven, which I purchased the The Cable Company.

This cables made my system sound very thick. I tried to return them and the salesman at The Cable Co. (John Pharo) said they needed to settle in. Well, after 200+ hours, the sound was still as thick as day one.

I tried to return them again and John Pharo @ The Cable Co. never returned my emails or my phone calls. Other salespeople always forwarded my phone calls to his voice mail.

After many tries to return them, I ended up selling them at a lost.

I'm glad you found a dealer that's willing to work with you and that the new cables work well in your system.
