Interconnects for BAT

I have the same set-up. I currently use valhalla interconnect and speaker cables with great results. FYI valhalla (at least in my system) is not forward sounding. I have also enjoyed Audioquest Silver internconnects SKY, and Kilimanjaro (now K2). The AQ does not quite have the air and extension as the Valhalla but is very coherent and "organic" sounding (texture).

I would give a recommendaion to either brand but would stay with one as I think there is system synergy with cables.

I have to 2nd Trcnetmsncom regarding the Nordost Valhalla, I use it throughout my system and they are hard to beat, the hold system just opens up.

I have tried Valkyrja, but for silent listening they seemed to be too dry and analytical. I compared them with Audience Au24. Would Valhalla be more suitable?

any silver cable will suffice. most cables are extended. it is hard to find cables that are attenuated in the treble.

Hello Lubos,

I found the Valhalla I.C. S.C. and P.C. to be addictive in my system. The highs are so open and airy with no hardness or forwardness whatsoever. The bottom end is more detailed and extends lower then my previous Cardas GR without the slight mid-bass bloat of the CGR. This added mid-bass bloat gives a sense of a fuller mid-range that actually obscures detail in the lower mids and in the upper bass IMO. I believe this lack of mid-bass bloat is why some people pass on the Valhalla. The mids I find to be dead on.

As of yet I haven't heard this level of speed, neutrality, or detail from other cables. This real information gives me more insight to the phrasing, subtle dynamic shifts, and texture of tone of the instruments being played on the recording.

It might also help you to know I'm using the EMM DAC6se and CDSDse for my front-end and the speakers are Avalon Eidolon Diamonds

Whatever you decide I wish you all the best,
Tom
