Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
My hunch is yes. They will have more metal and proprietary plugs.Not too much to ask for. 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
I once had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with Ted in a room he tweaked with acoustics and cables.Seeing some of his perspective was a lesson in audio itself. In my opinion he is driven by his passion to get peak performance out of ste... 
Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
The series 2 is awesome. I am still trying to figure out what is going on because I replaced everything but a couple of Valhalla cords. I would say they have much improved clarity and slightly more transparency, with much more emotion. Maybe that ... 
Transparent or Nordost?
Replaced all old Nordost cables with new series 2. Crazy difference all for the good. Replaced Frey for 2 series and tyr for tyr2 series. Still have some valhalla mixed in. Sound is smoother without any loss of detail on either end. Dynamics incre...

Nordost Cable Sale
Try to add at least one Brahma to the mix if you can swing it. I'm in the process of upgrading from the old to the new norse line and will try a few Frey2 PC and compare against the Brahma and Valhalla. They are supposed to be closer to the Valhal... 
Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread
I turn all silly requests over to my butler. He and my bodyguard work it out.I've gotten a couple of these loons too. 
In defense of quantum products.
I like my QX4 and QB8. I've had them for around 2 years now. 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettyofficer, The CD player was built for you. Toss everything else and use the CD player. There is nothing wrong with listening to CD's. It's all OK.
