    Welcome to AS rodneyu!

    Can you share more about your system? Also, what are the improvements you heard with the Odin?

    Perhaps wait a bit to see what the Omega speaker cables and interconnects bring to the table.

    That way you compare each brand's flagship offering.

    Very nice and revealing system. Odin has the characteristic of being very transparent while the Shunyata Sigma V2 is a bit more warm. Now, granted, there is a significant price difference between the Odin (1 and 2) vs. Sigma V2.

    I would spend a bit of time making sure that the cables settle and that you get an opportunity to fully "digest" what each cable brings to your system listening experience. Sometime a bit more transparency can lead to listening fatigue.

    Lastly, what's best is what brings you the most enjoyment.

    Yes , I get the characteristics I have had Shunyata for many years .
    Also I have Odin 1 and it's well broke in . If I was going to go further with Nordost I'd probably do Valhalla 2 , I don't want to sell a kidney to do a loom of Odin . I am just at a standstill do I continue with Nordost or leave system as is Shunyata and Odin speaker which's sounds great . Doing all Nordost might not be to my liking who knows . Guess only way to find out is try it .

    Where are you located. You really want Odin 2. Odin 2 is such a big improvement over Odin 1.

    WIsconsin. But I don't want to invest in Odin 2 . I will probably go backwards to Valhalla 2.

    But I do wonder how much better Odin 1 speaker cables than Valhalla 2
