| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Hi John,I'm laughing!!! Seriously though, John at this stage of my life I don't see the Odin in my future so I wouldn't dare take a listen to it in my system. Hey, we got to meet in person one of these days. Maybe the next time Earl comes up my wa... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Hi Gherreral,If it were me I would just move as far as I could up the Nordost chain. After 2 and a half years I'm still amazed what inserting Valhalla's into my system did. Enjoy your search.best,Tom | |
