Nice one GW1800! It's a marvellous thing, without a doubt!
The most amazing thing is, just when you've tried out their top tier stuff, like Valhalla series and supreme reference, it seems like it can't get any better. Until another version comes out from Nordost, and they take the performance yet to another level.
It's remarkable how they do this, and to many it may seem unlikely but only then do they realise once they've heard it or better still, experienced it on their own systems.
This is one such cable accessory company that really delivers the very best. The time and effort they put into their designs, plus the labour intensive process it takes just to make 1 meter, is truly spectacular! I've had the fortunate chance of seeing this process when I visited, and from that day onwards I was totally convinced.
I also learned the different grades of pure silver plating and gold materials they use on their cables. It varies from grade to grade but even on their Norse series, which is the one I use and can afford, is just superb!
Especially when you have carefully put together a very highly resolving system comprising of CLXs, there are no compromises at this level. They deserve the best. I believe the purchases I've made along the way with Nordost accessories, starting in 94/95 with their SPM Reference series, was more of an investment rather than just a purchase. I knew right away from that point onwards, these cables are nothing like the norm. Extremely unusual and extremely transparent, they just bring out the music, making the connection.
That's actually what they stand for, "making the connection." I was so impressed with their SPM series, I've never looked back. Sure I've used an awful lot of cable brands, from Van Den Hull to Kimber Select, Audio Quest to Audience and so on but these are something like no other. Once you've experienced this level of refinement, transparency and finesse, it's very difficult to settle for anything less, and yet they keep pushing the boundaries towards excellence.
At the end game, there's no such thing as perfection or 100%, there will always be another round the corner and the vicious cycle continues. However, for just thst one moment, once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to afford these Odin 2's, and install them in a high performance system, the level of top quality is mighty fine! Perfection to the core, is what I call it.
When I did get the opportunity to try out the Odin series just to feel the difference and engage in that experience was awe-inspiring! Obviously it was very hard for me to return these back to the dealer, and so I did and got my deposit back. Those 14 days having them installed into my system took the overall performance onto another dimension. That's when I realised the true potential of the CLX's and it's not all about the gear, cables and accessories are just as important. Get the right mix and perfect combination for your particular system and you will achieve a superb sense of synergy. Once that's done, that's it!
Well done on the Odin 2's, that should be one very mighty fine thing indeed. Now just sit back and enjoy those very fine tunes!
Woof! RJ
