Our Valhalla 2 cables have been getting marvelous press coverage from hifi critics worldwide! Here is another review written by Alan Sircom, which was published this June in Hi-Fi+. Alan was very impressed by the performance of V2 and the impact that it is capable of having on a system.

“[V2] does jaw-on-the-floor detail and speed, but it also brings out the grace and the architecture of the music. Put another way, the music is presented unimpeded by the technology used to reproduce the music itself”- Alan Sircom

You can now find Alan Sircom’s complete look at V2 on the Nordost website under Reviews

You may have seen Dennis Davis’ “First Sounds: Nordost Valhalla 2 — What Nordost’s Valhalla 2 means for the existing Valhalla owner” published in The Audio Beat this past January. The article is Dennis’ firsthand account of upgrading the reference cables in his system from Nordost’s Valhalla to Valhalla 2 and served as a fantastic introduction to V2.

Last month, The Audio Beat published its second look at V2. Marc Mickelson’s review takes a harder look at the Valhalla 2 range and is a great tool to get a better picture of the cable’s construction and what that means in terms of sound.

“[With V2] there is no highlighting, backlighting or soft lighting anywhere– the presentation is too evenhanded for that. Instead, these cables come by the wealth of detail naturally– in more ways than one. It is naturally rendered and integral to the nature of the music signal.” – Marc Mickelson

Mr. Mickelson’s full review is now available on the Nordost website under Reviews.

The consumer electronics industry is constantly changing. New technologies and upgrades are introduced on a regular basis. In order to stay current with hifi audio’s latest and greatest, it’s important to keep one ear to the ground, so to speak. There are a number of publications available, whether print, digital, blog or otherwise, that provide all of the information needed to stay up to speed. One great example is Soundstage!  A few months ago, Soundstage! published an article, written by reviewer Hans Wetzel, featuring Nordost’s Frey 2 range. In his article, Wetzel looks at the entire loom of our Frey 2 cables including speaker cables, interconnects and power cords—and we are quite pleased with his conclusions!

“If there’s a cable company whose products soundstage with the same breadth and agility that Nordost’s can, I’m unaware of it.” –Hans Wetzel, Soundstage!

Mr. Wetzel’s full review is now available on the Nordost website under Reviews.

Earlier this year The Audio Beat published Dennis Davis’ review entitled, First Sounds: Nordost Valhalla 2 – What Nordost’s Valhalla 2 means for the existing Valhalla owner. The article is Dennis’ firsthand account of upgrading the reference cables in his system from Nordost’s Valhalla to Valhalla 2. We find this piece to be a fantastic introduction to V2. It’s great to see the reaction our products receive, and to get such positive feedback on all of the hard work and time that went into perfecting our Valhalla 2 cables, Nordost’s most recent reference range.

“My immediate reaction was that I was hearing an advance in the overall integration and musical geometry unmatched by any other upgrade I’ve heard in my system. Ever.”   – Dennis Davis, The Audio Beat

If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should take a moment to read Steve Dickinson’s review, Nordost Norse cables: Heimdall 2, which was published in the December 2013 edition of Hi-Fi + magazine.  Reviews like this are a great way to stay informed and they give you a firsthand account of premium products, like our cables. In this piece, Steve takes a look at our Heimdall 2 range in comparison to the first generation of the Norse family, which is impressive in its own right. We are happy that Mr. Dickenson appreciates the improvements that we have made with our Norse 2 cables.

The Heimdall gives a strong sense of scale and authority, but without adding the sort of mass and inertia which drags a system down…The added sense of impetus brought by the Heimdall brings out the extra little kick from the in-between beats which separate a 2/2 from a 4/4 time signature. Tiny inflections are also better resolved, most obviously in vocals but also noticeable elsewhere. This means performances that are carefully weighed and nuanced can be more affectingly portrayed.
