Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2

Hi guys 

im on the edge on getting myself n upgrade on loudspeaker cables and power cables. 

Current setup: devialet 250, b&w 800 diamond 2*velodyne dd15+

I have been auiditing frey 2 and tyr 2 loudspeaker cables. 
They both are another world upgrade from blue heaven which i already have. 
The Main differense between the tyr 2 and frey 2 are that the tyr 2 are more punchy in the bass on my setup. If the price difference between tyr and frey is worth IT is discussable. 

The thing i Wonder, how would the Valhalla v2 stand againt tyr 2 (and frey2) loudspeaker cables.

is there anyone out there tested this? My dealer dont have the Valhalla v2 for auditioning.

if anyone have any experience with the powercables frey2, tyr2 and Valhalla v2. Feel Free comment the experiences:)

I agree with jperry about leveling the speakers carefully. Nordost sells the Sort Fut 2 ways. (1) a set of 4 feet and (2) a premium package that includes 4 feet, a laser level and other tools to ensure the speakers are the same height and level (front to back and side to side). The laser level is also good for getting the same toe-in and insuring the height level at the listening position..... I have seen dealers selling 2 sets of 4 Sort Fut without the leveling package because it’s a little cheaper but IMO it’s worth it to purchase 1 premium package and 1 standard package to insure your speakers are set-up their best.....makes a big difference!

Hey Guys a few updates since July. So I added a Odin PC to the mix. Now I have an Odin PC from the wall to the QB8. Then another Odin PC for the Mac C1100 preamp and moved the Valhalla 2 PC to the DAC. For now the Frey 2 is going to be used in the Media room. :)

I can say confidently that my system is truly kicking ass :) The detail and the separation and soundstage are world class.

I have one more Odin PC on the way...My plans will be to keep an Odin on the QB8. Then move the 2 Odins to the Mono amps.

Maybe, just maybe, I will land an Odin 2 for the QB8. :) Then the preamps and amps will all have Odins.

Short Version:

2 Odin PCs and WOW. Just WOW.

I borrowed an Odin power cord to try in my QBase 8 and all I can say is that now I want one for my own.
