NORDOST ODIN CABLES , Wow!!!!!

I second that, Odin is mind blowing but also $ blowing if you have the $ more power to you and pull the plug, the Vahalla 2 is the sweet spot, the power cables now are something else, does not resemble the Vahalla 1 is closer to the Odin but not the Odin that is out of this world.
 
I'm a Dealer , :) , I can play with all the toys !!!!

If you have good relations with your Dealer you could ask Him to Burn in your cables for you .

Out of the box they sound very very good but after 2 days on Vidar Burn in cable from Nordost is when you realized how good are the Odin's

This 4 meter pair was in my dealer's reference room for the past year. Should be well burned in by now.
 
You will be very happy.
I'm also a Oracle User and ODIN is a much better product

What do you find to be the major diff between Odin and oracle ? My guess w/o hearing Odin yet is that the MIT will be a bit darker and more relaxed in presentation. Just a guess. My room is pretty well damped and not that lively, so I think Odin will be a better match. We shall see.

I see your list of components but no reference to cables - what are you currently using?

Mind blowing in what sense? And in comparison to what other product?
 
Any discount on Odin or is it full boat?
He is cutting me a good deal relatively speaking. If I like them, I am trading in my 4 meter Valhalla speaker cable and 4 meter Valhalla XLR Interconnect plus a check....;)

Nice to see you over here Frank. I trust the Pass XS pre is still treating you well ?

Thanks Chris. The pre amp is great. Give it a listen when you get a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Each have they're own signature but
is like You imagined, MIT are more darker. Don't get me wrong I love MIT
But if you let me choose I will go to
the Odin Path

Thanks. They are now hooked up and waiting for the system core temp to warm up.
 
Yes,
Last time was Valhalla2
And those for me are the sweet spot

Nelson, can you offer a comparison between Odin and Valhalla2 speaker cables? My dealer is going to drop off the Valhalla2 for me to listen to this weekend. Like Christian, I currently use MIT MA-X SHD. I'm not really planning on making any changes but by coincidence he called me an hour ago and asked if I'd like to try the Nordost out as he's thinking of becoming a dealer.

Isn't it amazing how dealers work? When you think you are done, you may not be...lol

It really was a coincidence because he's not a Nordost dealer and I've never mentioned Nordost to him. The Valhalla 2 would have to blow me away and make me HAVE to try Odin for me to change from the MIT. I'm fully committed to MIT with SHD throughout. But, that said, never say never.
 
So I have had these cables in the system, amps turned on for 6 hours. I just listened to a very familiar album side (sarah mclachlan"Solace" on Classic records) that I have been playing a lot gauging my phono preamp breakin, ect. I am not bowed over. Tonally they are very neutral, basically on par with my MIT. The bass is less defined and extended and overall they are less transparent and dynamic. Perhaps this is because they were just plugged into my system. If they don't improve and by a good bit over the weekend....Odin will be going back. Right now, the system sounds worse....but I must strive for patience. :panic:
