Nordost Valhalla Power Cords

Hello Bol1972 - I was the original poster of this thread and as I noted ; Nordost Valhalla power cords are a good cords for the right system. They just seemed to thin for me, there was no texture to the music and I lost some of music's rhytham. My whole system is Purist 20th Anniversary's and Canorous cables......but the power cords are all the Limited Edition's. Let me know what you think of the sound when you put the LE on the monster Pass Labs amp.

I just added a second Valhalla power cord to my Esoteric D-05. The first Valhalla went on the Esoteric P-05......and I will tell you that is does add some speed and clarity. The rest of my system is wired with Purist Audio's 20th Anniversary IC's, digital and speaker cables....the power cords are PAD's Limited Edition's.....very happy with the change and this mixture of brands. Wondering how one of the Valhalla's would work on the Esoteric clock ????

Well hello John....nice to hear from you. I had three of the Valhalla's Power Cords in my system on my Esoteric set up including the clock. The rest of the system is Purist Audio 20th Anniversary and Canours cables, which if you remember I have always enjoyed and liked the sound of the Purist Cables. I wanted a little more speed and the Nordost Valhalla's seemed to be the right move. It opened the system right up and was very reveiling. Like with all changes yuo make, initially I enjoyed then after a few months that hmmmmm came in. It became apparent that I had lost some rythm along with bass. Don't get me wrong - these are a great cable if the rest of your system has enough base for the room for your likeing and is on the '' slower side '' of sound. I also missed the texture that Purist has so I went back to Purist after about a year. My whole system is once again all Purist - and yes, something can be said about a whole sytem being wired with the same cabeling. As we anything in this hobby ....it's what you like and what works in your system

Hello BOL1972 - so, how does the Purist Audio Limited Edition Power cord sound on your Pass labs amp ???? Let me know as others have claimed that due to the ''filtering'' process that it restricts some of the high and low frequencies. I have not found that to be true on my Classe' CA2300 amp.
