Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable


I have all Nordost IC but have been impressed by Audioquest power cable and am thinking of changing my speaker cables to Audioquest Thunderbird zero. I currently have Nordost Heimdall. Do you think that’s a good idea, Thanks.

Unfortunately, no one's opinion here will do you much good.  Everything in your system - and some things outside your system, e.g., power grid quality - changes the sound.

I've found the only reliable approach is to borrow the cables you're considering, preferably from a local dealer but from an online dealer if necessary, break them in for 200 hours (8 days of 24/7 playing) then play 8-10 of your favorite tracks and see if you like it better.

I've tried cables that everyone else raved about that were harsh or thin or lacking bass punch in my system.  You just need to try other cables and take systematic notes.
