G'day maties, fellow audiophiles and ladies...
As their slogan goes... "Making the Connection" hot-dam do they make the connection!
Just for trial and the heck of it, once in a lifetime (for me at least) I tried the Odin's- no words... just speechless, and especially when it costs nearly the price of a full system, just for a meter pair. Anyway, not in my finances.
So I managed to get hold of the Frey speaker cable - wow! Superb transparency and depth, compared to the previous Heimdall's I was using, this is certainly a notch above.
The most significant performance criteria, were obviously transparency and depth as earlier noted but not only that, the speed is just extraordinary! On one of my favorite albums, Larry Carlton with Robben Ford "unplugged" I was trying to follow the transition from bass to guitar and back, it's so fast the track is gone!
Now, I plan to upgrade to the Frey Interconnects, however this will take awhile since that price tag is slightly out of reach for the moment. Hence, using Heimdall interconnects for now. Having had the DHLabs Q-10 signature series 2 speaker cable, that served extremely well for nearly a decade, trying various cables across a host of brands did not justify the extra spend until I installed the Frey's.
Whatever Nordost puts out is simply outstanding and will enhance the performance of any system regardless of price. After auditioning the Odin's, I am quite dizzy after that short 3 hours with them, that I tend to wonder what on earth have Nordost done/constructed in the Odin's to make them sound that way. Then again I suppose in order for the Odin's to takeoff, one must have a top notch system with a lofty price tag? Definitely not so, with the current CJ Monoblocks (LP125m's) and the simple PV15 preamp, driving a pair of Martin Logan Ethos, I'm wondering whether anything else is really required for my journey... happy as!
Hats off to Nordost, and the performance level they've managed to reach with the Frey. Anyone looking out for a cable in the range of 4-5 grand for a 2m pair, I highly recommend the Frey. On another note, I strongly believe it can very easily out-perform others costing twice as much but only to be beaten by its own.
To those who have Valhalla or Odin's, I truly understand how serious you are with recorded music reproduction at its finest- simply marvelous!
Cheers to Nordost- they have definitely made the connection!
