There are two cables I have used extensively that have better neutrality than Valhalla, JPS Labs SC2 and Audience AU-24, much cheaper too. The new JPS Aluminata should be better yet. There was a comparison review done between Audience and Valhalla by either Stereophile or absolute sound by a guy who personally owns the Valhalla. It took him months to figure out what the differences were but he came away feeling the Audience was smoother and better frequency balanced, this lends itself to an easier listening character that sounds more natural.
