Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn

I purchased a pair of 6 meter Nordost Baldur XLR's to replace a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven XLR's to go between my Pass Labs X1 preamp and my Pass Labs X250.5 amp. There seems to be a huge amount of extra bass with the Baldur but I'm loosing some transparency that the Blue Heavens had. The Blue Heavens where 2 meters long and the Baldurs are 6 meters long. This extra length enables me to place my amp between my speakers and other gear along the side wall.
I'm wondering if the smaller amount of transparency in the Baldur is a characteristic of the cable or perhaps because of the extra length compared to the shorter Blue Heavens?
I'm courious how a Red Dawn interconnect would compare to the Baldur.
By the way I'm using a Blue Heaven IC between my Cd player and preamp

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

for your great sounding amps I would recommend Heimdall and upwards in the Norse line, benefiting from NordOst's Micro Mono-Filament technology. The Heimdall is pretty balanced and is way better than RD. Havent heard the Series 2 though.

I started with BH and have now partially Valhallas in my system. Used Valkyrie offers IMO best value for money for higher end ICs.
