\"Review<\/p>\n

At Nordost we are proud of the fact that as you go up our product line, the\u00a0improvements and\u00a0effects that our cables bring to your sound system are easily demonstrable. At trade shows and industry events, Nordost representatives and product specialists do linear cable swaps to highlight these transitions. However, most people don’t have the opportunity to attend these events, so they rely on reviews to make an informed decision. While reviews are a great\u00a0resource to better understand how a cable can transform a system, you rarely come across reviews that describe the changes that result from choosing an entry-level, to a mid-level, to a reference cable\u00a0within the same brand. That is why we were so excited when Jeff Dorgay, from ToneAudio, came to us with his idea to compare four of our tonearm cables<\/a> (from our Blue Heaven<\/a>, Heimdall 2<\/a>, Frey 2<\/a>, and Valhalla 2<\/a> ranges) for his publication. The result was a very honest look at Nordost cables that we think end users will really appreciate.<\/p>\n

\n

“As much as we wanted to\u00a0squeal to high heaven that a nearly $5,000 tonearm cable was bullshit, it isn’t. If\u00a0you have the system to show it off, you will not be disappointed in the least.”<\/p>\n

“Like all the other Nordost cables we\u2019ve had the pleasure to audition, they offer a linear increase in performance as you go up the range”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve walked away from hundreds of hours of listening to not only be impressed, but to suggest them heartily.”<\/p>\n
