Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2?


I am debating on whether I should buy the original Frey series speaker cable or pay a little more and get the new Heimdall Norse 2 speaker cables.

From the threads I have been reading the difference between the original Heimdall and Frey series is quite slight. If this is true and the Norse 2 series is marked improvement over the original line I am wondering if I should just buy the Heimdall Norse 2 instead.

With the discounted sale price going on now, the original Frey and Heimdall 2 are somewhat similar in price.

Maobracks,

I have the Heimdall Norse 2 Speaker Cable 4 meter and one meter interconnect.

Thinking of upgrading to the Tyr Norse 2. Willing to let go of the Heimdall Norse 2 Speaker Cable and Interconnect for $2200.
Maobacks, what are you looking to change? What are some of your components?

Series 2 has the same clarity, staging, dimension, and transparency as the original series. It adds more weight, body, warmth, "whatever," you want to call it. The decision can go either way based on components. It is also more neutral to me.

Great cable choice.
I had Heimdall speaker cables (and I'm a big Nordost fan), was using a Cary CAD 200 amp, and did NOT like the combo one bit. I got the sense that these speaker cables are very amp- dependent. IE, the Cary was kinda all about mid and the Heimdalls just were not having it.
Go for the new series, they improved the overwhole sound. Older ones can become harsh.
