Nordost Valhalla Power Cords

I demoed/owned in my system a lot of power cords, as well as, the High Performance PowerLink power cords from Transparent, Mit Oracle, Acrolink 7N-PC7300, Shunyata Anaconda and King Cobra, Purist audio 25th anniversary, Kubala Sosna Elation and Elrod Statement Gold. At all in my system I fairly prefer the Nordost Valhalla Power Cords ( lenght 2 mt) because extremely neutral, free of grain, fast with an outstanding inner detail and an incredibly realistic presentation of the musical event. The differences with others power cords mentioned above are massive. The Nordost Valhalla power cords is is the best power cords that i listened until today.

@Sidekick_i

100% agree.

Hi,

as I wrote before in my system, the Valhalla's power cord resulted much better at all over the also good Purist audio 25th anniversary. In my system the superiority of Valhalla's was in an astonishing speed and phase coherence and every note of music sounded more natural in terms of attack, full-bodied presence, decay and concerned harmonic structure. The sense of reality and textural nuance with Valhalla's are unsurpassed in my experience. Surely the Odin's will be better at that cost than Valhalla's.!

@ Bo1972

I respect your opinion but I'm in totally disagreement about what you said. It's not important to mention by speaker system but I can assure that It's a fantastic and very expensive system and superior to any speaker I've heard (a lot, even over 200 Keuro loudspeaker system). Sorry but here we're talking about ultra hi-end components and I saw that you mentioned respected products that I know very well but very far from top hi-end and the sound neutrality estimated by experienced audiophiles around the globe that know really the music due to so much colored in sound and not playing music in the correct manner. A friend of mine after listening Burmester for the very first time he replaced his Pass mono Xa160.5 with german gear; another friend after listening in his system the power amp Burmester 956 Mk2 he changed his Pass X350.5. I've other examples, but It'n not important to make additional and same hystory. Everyone can listen the music in the way that coul prefer even if not in correct manner. In my experience many audiophiles gurus who write in blogs that I know very well that they can not distinguish the sound of a a Cello with the one of a Contrabass, but they evaluate hi-end components; which kind of sound evalutation you may expect from such gurus? What I can assure that in Europe and expecially around the World product like Nordost and Burmester are rightly considered Ultra Hi-End and one of the absolute best. It's definetively clear that we've completely opposite ways of understanding music and so It's confirmed by my 25 years of music played live in the best music halls around the world. The experience is knowledge and the rest is just information only.
Enjoy your review (as well as information only)!

@ Bo1972

I think it's definitely clear that you do not know what you're talking about (both of Burmester and Nordost and many other things you've written), but I see that you enjoy listening situations bring unreliable. Another thing clear is that you're (or have been) an hi-end dealer that likes so much of your well known colleagues that trying to sell / push own brands and tell to their customers that the other brands not present overthere are to be considered inferior or even garbage. In my opinion this approach is not the right result of pure passion but only commercial way. As I wrote earlier, my approach and my experience on high-end components is too important on a level objectively superior to yours and this is the reason why I do not find anything correct about that you are reporting. The personal journey of searching for a sound with correct timbre and a perfect balance and through the hi-end components/accessories commenced 25 years ago and in all of these years have been circulating in my music room many components of any kind and price. The music does not have to be spectacular, but it must be a right mix of proper timbre (highest degree of neutrality, free of grain and with a complete absence of fatique) and perfect balance between all the frequencies and a perfect dimensions and geometric proportions of the instruments and instrumentalists. Burmester and Nordost grant to me such sound quality result. Live music with acoustic instruments and sounds so to know these things take experience based mainly on knowledge and not hearsay or write unrealiable things around in various blogs when most of audiophiles/leaders are not able to simply distinguish the sound of a cello from a double bass. If you like a sound colored and knowing very well the brands you listen from my side, I've to assume that you have a very little knowledge of live music. I conclude by saying that the music is art and hi-end is a pure passion, both concepts are very far from commercial factors. I'm going to leave you with your phantom reviews and I'm sorry in advance but I'm not interested in reading them.

@Bo1972

As I said before I totally disagree with what you are erroneously reporting in an arrogant way too, as if God was suddenly lowered into the earth. However, I'm enjoing a lot with you because you looks like the classic aficionados that thinks hi-fi as race and play to those who got the longest. Instead of inviting the Nordost Holland in your music room, it would be more appropriate that you perform at soonest a fast training how sounds like real music (e.g. concerts, theaters, jazz clubs and for my experience in Holland have a brilliant sound and well calibrated acoustic in order to really know the sound of acoustic instruments) should be, because believe me from what you're writing, you have clearly very confused ideas about the music. Maybe after due training you will understand, perhaps, also the correct hi-fi. At the moment, it seems that you know only to sell hi-fi from the musicality and timbre highly questionable and in my opinion very far from the natural expression of music. I wish that you'll improve your skill and experience about the perception of music and in the 25 years later I'll wait you here and we could take back the same argument. At the present stage you've to learn a lot about music and concerned perception.

Hi,

I've two (2) complete set (pc, ic and speaker) of:
- Nordost Odin and Nordost Valhalla.

@Audiolabyrinth

Hi,

It's very interesting your experience and your future design. I wish good luck and all the best and hoping to listen yours.

Thanks and regards.

Just today, in a good friend's system, we compared side by side the following speaker cable: Purist Audio Aqueous Aureus Versus Nordost Tyr. I premise that such system was composed with all power cables Shunyata Anaconda and the Interconnet Purist Audio Design Purist Audio Aqueos Aureus. The Nordost Tyr resulted better in all regards, especially in rhythmic, higher resolution and definition, musicality with an extraordinary amount of details, excellent low-level ambience retrieval and harmonic extensions of their natural bass and midbass. Airy soundstage with seemingly limitless depth, perfect dimension and proportion of vocalist and acoustic instrument with no electronic texture. The sound is always alive, fullness and powerfull. Superb the realism with Nordost Tyr.
