Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio

Can anyone comment on their experience with Chinese "Odin" interconnect cables in comparison to those described above.  In particular, I am looking for a set of interconnects for my low power SET integrated amplifier.

I have found that some interconnect cables are better suited to specific types of amplifiers. In my case,  something that pairs well with a low power SET. 

@lubachl  Can anyone comment on their experience with Chinese "Odin" interconnect cables in comparison to those described above. 

I have two sets of these connecting DAC to Pre and Pre to Amp. They replaced Belden 1800F (BJC). I cannot say I noticed a lot of difference in this case. My system is Gumby->Freya+ -or- Coda 07x -> Coda #8.

I admittedly have not yet tried a very high end interconnect, so I really do not know what is possible. That said, the ones I bought are very well constructed and appear to use quality components. They are a bit of a hassle to route as they are quite stiff, but once in place it is not an issue. 

Sorry I can't give you a solid answer that they provide a big performance boost, but as always YMMV. It is a fairly low cost experiment, so not too painful if they do not work out.

There is a huge A'gon discussion of the Chinese cables for sale at Aliexpress.  It is recent and there is a wealth of information on the counterfeit Nordhost cables, including the Odins.

@rubicon15  - If you reach out to Colin at Gestalt you might also consider speaking with him about Tchernov and Sternklang cables as well.  I use Tchernov Ultimate Slim in my main system and Reference 2 in my 2nd system.

Another cable line you might consider is Silnote Audio.

I’ve reached out to a few sellers regarding counterfeit Nordost cables. I actually received one reply stating that the cables were made by Nordost in a different country. Keep in mind, all Nordost cables are made in the USA. If a Nordost cable is not made in the USA, it is not an original cable. In all cases, unless purchased from a reputable dealer, you should examine all the photos. Usually, you can see subtle differences in counterfeit cables. I have two Silnote power cables. One for my CJ amp and one for a Cardas power supply. Silnote installed a right angle plug for me. Their cables are made extremely well. Based on the post so far, I may stick with Nordost interconnects - Norse level Heimdall.
