| Nordost Serial Numbers @folkfreak last I heard Nordost was getting inundated with consumers calling to confirm if a serial # was legitimate....Seems like there were a lot of counterfeit and or re-terminated Nordost cables going around. My Nordost retailer told me they... | |
| NORDOST SPM REFERENCE SPEAKERS CABLE @dvinkl I see that someone bought the SPM’s.....was it you? | |
| NORDOST SPM REFERENCE SPEAKERS CABLE @ dvinkl, you're in luck a pair of SPM's were just listed 2 days ago on Agon....Good luck! | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below @hgeifman Thank you for your research and info on the upcoming launch of Qobuz. I am happy with Roon/Tidal now but Qobuz sounds like it would have more Hi-res titles to choose from. I emailed Roon asking if they plan to integrate with Qobuz and ... | |
| Nordost vs Synergistic Research I would check with your nearest Nordost retailer. A few years ago Nordost put together demo cases for their retailers that contained the complete Norse line of cables. Power cords, interconnects and speaker cables. I was able to demo the Tyre 2... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @fdemello congratulation on your purchase! I love my Zenith mk2 SE / Roon / Stillpoints combo... I found isolation made a big difference in SQ. I use a Nordost Heimdall 2 USB that I'm also happy with. | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 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 (f... | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 @fdpdk, inserting Nordost Sort Fut in place of the stock spikes really brought the music into focus. Instruments and voices within the soundstage became more defined and separated. It kind of has the effect of focusing a telescope or binoculars... | |
| Good monitor speakers for 300B amps. About 10 years ago I had a system that consisted of a Cary CAD-300 SEI integrated amp, Proac Response One SC speakers and all Nordost cables....Match made in heaven! I still have the One SC's but don't use them.....moved up to the larger ProAc D... | |
| Nordost QB8 I think what they are referring to when they say "garden earth" is connecting the Qbase to a grounding rod (driven deep into the soil, earth, garden or dirt) just outside of your home. I use a # 8 grounding wire run from my Qbase to a grounding r... | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 I have an all Nordost system. For years I had been using a Valhalla 1 PC to power my Qbase. About a year ago I bought an Odin 1 PC and inserted it to power my Qbase. Wow what a difference! It is so much better in every way over the Valhalla 1... | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions I would definitely check out the Luxman L-509X intergrated amp listed on Agon by 'whitecamarowss' for for 8499.00. He has a thread here called "My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each". He reviews this amp on the thread and ton... | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ The Zenith mk 3's will be released this month so you might find a mk 2 demo for a good price. Good luck with whatever you choose. | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ I had an Aurender N100h for several years and just upgraded to an Innuos Zenith mk2 SE a few months ago. It was a major upgrade in every way especially ease of use. Ripping CD's with the Aurender was difficult and time consuming but with the Zen... | |
| Mark Levinson or Pass Labs...What is each's "House Sound" like? Check out the thread on Audiogon titled "My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!". The OP reviews dozens of amps including the two brands you are asking about. It's a long read but well worth it. You can also ask him any que... |
