Anthony Kershaw evaluated our <a href=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/valhalla-reference.php\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Valhalla 2 range<\/a>, and was so impressed with our reference cables that he dubbed the range one of Audiophilia\u2019s Star Components!

So, every effect the young Stravinsky brought to his orchestration&#8230;is heard clearly, but, most of all, musically. As such, 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\u2019s design, construction and materials make every musical choice a delicious event. This is playback way beyond technique.\u201d \u2013 Audiophilia\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This glowing <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiophilia.com\/reviews\/2021\/4\/21\/ovlq03ykci2h3x4enjdvyikqx79y98\" target=\"_blank\">Valhalla 2 review<\/a> is now available, in its entirety, on the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nordost.com\/reviews.php?utm_campaign=Dealer%20%20Newsletter&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz--lZJG1Rin1d56nXPz29lDz1DMK2qJnRpThm7YcheVa0dPa35sdqScQ_poXIT4Fvqrh9mcw\" target=\"_blank\">Reviews<\/a> page of the Nordost website. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/V2-Holo-Plugs-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/V2-Holo-Plugs-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/V2-Holo-Plugs-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/V2-Holo-Plugs-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/V2-Holo-Plugs-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are thrilled to share a fabulous review&nbsp;which was published this month on Audiophilia.com.
