STEREONET APPLAUSE AWARD / STEREONET PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD 2021: BLUE HEAVEN ANALOG INTERCONNECT
“The Blue Heaven certainly lives up to its manufacturer’s claims of offering accurate signal transfer at a relatively affordable price… with especially impressive detail and sound staging. Value-wise it punches well above its weight, so it is well worth auditioning.” – StereoNET
HI-FI CHOICE RECOMMENDED: NORSE 2 BI-WIRE JUMPERS
“The Norse 2 [Bi-Wire Jumper]…matches its task very well, offering all the refinement you would expect from a set of high-end cables and so is a sensible upgrade to the metal links fitted to so many speakers.” – Hi-Fi Choice
AUDIOPHILIA STAR COMPONENT / AUDIOPHILIA PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2021: VALHALLA 2
“The timing, transparency and resolution of the cables are astounding. So, while everything in the orchestra is laid clearly before you, the sheen and tactile effects from the V2’s design, construction and materials make every musical choice a delicious event. This is playback way beyond technique.” – Audiophilia
HI-FI+ SOUND INNOVATION AWARD: NORDOST
“For the last 30 years, Nordost has been at the zenith of cable design and development, and throughout that time it has stayed true to its core; producing low-mass cables with optimal signal transfer speed and ideal impedance matching.” – Hi-Fi+
HI-FI+ COST NO OBJECT DIGITAL CABLE OF THE YEAR: VALHALLA 2 ETHERNET CABLE
“A palpable triumph in digital audio sound reproduction.” – Hi-Fi+
THE ABSOLUTE SOUND EDITORS’ CHOICE AWARD: PURPLE FLARE / HEIMDALL 2 USB / FREY 2 / TYR 2 / VALHALLA 2 / ODIN 2 / QKORE
“So, transparency, precision, purity, depth, texture, openness, expansiveness… Nordost’s Tyr 2 loom brings all of this and more to the listening experience. Yet as I wrap up these thoughts another word now pops to mind that perhaps best sums up my analogy between wine and audio: transformative.” – StereoNET
AUDIOKEY REVIEWS HIGH NINE AWARD: SORT KONES
“The Nordost AC SORT KONES are far more than a tweak, and that to even consider them tweaks denies their stunning music-freeing abilities. ” – AudioKey Reviews
