Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable


I bought a Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker cable from Upscale Audio and waiting for it to be delivered. Upscale asked me to have the cable sent to them to run it through Vidar cable cooker so I agreed. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I always wanted it but did not have the moola before and now that I can afford it, I went for it. Hopefully it's worth it.

What do you guys think? I know there will be posts about negativity, but I do not mind. What the heart wants, and you can afford it, go for it I always say. Thanks for reading my post.

I have a space constraints and I have always wanted Valhalla speaker cable so when Ithe opportunity and money allowed I went for it. When and if I move to a bigger apartment then I will think of better speakers than Aria 936. For the time being I hope to enjoy the speaker cables. Even if Valhalla gives a 10% boost to the sound I will be satisfied.

Life in the Nordost line begins at Vahalla 2, I have a full set of Odin 1 - Odin 2 throughout, I had the chance to demo V2 speaker cables on my system, you will be very impressed with detail, clarity, imaging, control, and how they transform your midrange. You get what you pay for, and you will won't be disappointed. 

Sit back and enjoy.......

I have the Valhalla 2's in my system and they just sing! I had mine burned is as well but they will still a hundred hours or so before they are fully mature.  Congratulations.  You will love them.

There is a reason why many audio equipment presenters at audiofests.select either NORDOST ODIN / VALHALLA , or CARDAS CLEAR BEYOND / CLEAR cable looms, as the dominant brand cohort

One size does NOT fit all: Each has its own bespoke sonic signature 

You'll be very happy with your Valhallas. I had Valhalla many years ago, and it's a great cable. It's top card is transparency, and it has that in spades.

 

I have Tyr 2 now, and have for years now, and it's a fantastic cable as well. I am guessing your dealer wants to do the burn-in because Nordost takes hundreds of hours to burn in. One time, I had a brand new pair of Frey 2, and it took them weeks to break in. 300-400 is standard burn-in time for Nordost, and it will sound VERY bright  before its burned in. In fact, so bright that you will not want to play music loudly. I remember listening to a Supremes Anthology, and it (the Nordost) was SO bright, I couldn't listen at any volume. It actually hurt my ears, and that was the first (and only) time in 40 years that a cable was that bright.  After it burned in, it was great.
