Nordost. What Nordost does is it gets out of the way of the electronics, not a band-aid type of cable. With your gear I would opt for the Frey 2 which is the sweat spot for true high-end(resolving) electronics. Have the Heimdall 2 on my Esoteric A 03/C 03 and feel a slight restriction in performance. Have used JPS Super Q/Audio Magic Natural and Siltech Super New York on the Esoteric gear. The Heimdall 2 and Siltech are very close, with the Siltech having better body and texture and Nordost having speed/clarity and agility. IMO the Frey 2 should improve on the Heimdall 2 shortcomings.
Cardas or Nordost for Simaudio/Magico
Looking for new cabling for Simaudio 330A amp/390 Pre Streamer into Magico A3 and have narrowed down to Cardas or Nordost primarily as I understand that Simaudio often shows with these cables. Cardas level would be Clear Cygnus (or maybe stretch to Clear), Nordost would be Heimdall 2 (or maybe stretch to Frey 2). Need PC, Speaker and XLR IC. Currently using Acoustic Zen. Ideally, would like a bit more detail and improved soundstaging. Probably will buy used and so just want to pick one and go with it. Appreciate any input.

@audphile1 +1 Do you believe the Frey 2 is the sweet spot of the Norse series, or should one go all out with the Valhalla 2 and be done? |
