Nordost cable combination

I never used Nordost cables, since my system is all Naim audio. Most of the time, Nordost is considered to be a no go brand with Naim. But I had a bit of a taste of the Nordost flavour, and now there is no wat back for me. Since my funds are Sort of limited, I Made a few choices, but stuggling with the last choice, that still has to be made.
I choose a q8 distribution block, with a frey 2 cable from the wall to the distribution block. And choose a frey 2 loudspeaker cable.
so now I still have to choose between these 2 options;

Option 1 3 red dawn cables (amp, network player, phono amp) and 1 frey 2 for the pre amp
Option 2 4 Heimdall cables

since the pre amp is the spin in the web, I do not know if balance of a whole higher power system (4 Heimdall) would benifit the system more, compared to extra quality cable for the preamp only, and a lower quality for the other components.

Do Some of you have experience or knowledge about the best choice to make?

Thanks

Thank you, Stereo5 and akg,

yesterday I bought 5 heimdall powerchords, and plug those into the qb8, in wich I put the frey 2 powercord. And as I will have to wait 5 days for the frey 2 speaker cable to come of the burn in machine, I now have the Heimdall 2 speakercable from the dealer. The powercords are cold from the box in my system. And it is already incredible what a great sound my system is producing. I am a little worried, that the Heimdall 2 speakercable will be better in my system as the frey 2, since I already purchased the frey, before it went on the machine. If I would not already bought the frey, I would have been happy with this Heimdall 2 speakercable. So I will have to wait, before I know if I Made the right choose with the frey speakercable. The all Heimdall powercords, produce a far better sound in comparence with the frey 2 on the pre amp, and all others red dawn. As you, akg, already predicted. So I hope the frey2 speaker will not disturb the beautiful sound that is coming from my system now. I also like to hear if the burn in of the powercords change the sound within the coming days.
