Eichmann bullet plugs on Valhalla interconnects

No, no, NO !!! Whether it will sound slightly better or not, you will destroy the resale value of these cables! Figure 30% to 50% LESS then the price that you should receive on the used market. In this case, LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE !!!

No they do not. Nordost told me that the will cut a section of Valhalla (say 4 meters) and then cut that section in half, and terminate the ends to make a 2 meter pair. In this manner, your cable pair is ALWAYS matched from the same location in the bulk spool. This assures identical matching of left and right cables, as any minute deviations within tolerances limits that may occur during the production run, are eliminated. This may not be the case if your left cable comes from the beginning of the production run, and your right cable, from the end. Just another quality aspect of this cable! It's much easier (and cheaper!) to bulk cut a spool, terminate en masse, then package any two cables as an "identical" pair!

Steve, I NEVER said that the cable was "mismatched along the spool"!!! Read my post again! Apparently, you don't understand the concept of tolerances that apply to ANY manufacturing process. Anything that is outside of tolerance specs IS DISCARDED! Nordost does not sell "B" stock, unlike other manufacturers. You obviously are more interested in trashing Nordost, for whatever your personal reasons may be! Have you even tried any Valhalla cables?
