Red dawn speaker cables run 1 040 for a 2.
Nordost heimdall usb cable review.
The small amounts of cables are bundled in a thick red rubber jacket that is translucent enough to peak inside.
The speaker cables reviewed were 2m heimdalls with spades on the source end to suit my lamm monoblocks and the excellent nordost z plugs a number of which i bought years ago for installing on my other cables at the loudspeaker end.
The new cable so new that it s not even listed on the sign behind dennis departs from the company s heimdall 2 and tyr 2 usb cables by using silver plated solid core conductors in a twin axial configuration and terminating.
The cable is 2m long and will be a bit longer if using an adapter.
The nordost heimdall 2 cable is 2 meters long for 799.
The usb digital and hdmi cables were part of nordost s blue heaven collection within the same leif class of products.
A single pair of 4m speaker cables with banana plugs 2 709 99 pair a couple sets of 1m rca xlr interconnects 939 99 pair a 1 5m heimdall 2 digital s pdif bnc rca interconnect 889 99 each a couple 2m power cords 839.
Nordost branded heat shrink keeps everything looking smart but the logos have faded in the year of using the cable.
For the purposes of this review nordost provided me with a complete loom of their heimdall 2 cables that included.
Nordost valhalla 2 usb 2 0 cable review plus a quick test of nordost s heimdall 2 ethernet cable.
The most interesting measurement of all.
Nordost have stepped up their game and added a norse 2 series usb to their suite of cables.
The remaining cables came from other nordost families.
But they are costly.
Dennis bonotto new international sales manager for nordost joined the company s michael taylor to introduce nordost s new top usb cable the valhalla 2 usb 3500 1m.
Those are savings of 78 and 85 respectively.
Love to hear any comments or reviews.
The nordost heimdall speaker cable sells for 1500 per 2m pair vs 7040 for the same amount of valhalla.
The heimdall interconnect is 600 1m pair the valhalla version going for 4000.
The only other usb cable is from their leif series the blue heaven.
I used 1m and 1 5m samples of the heimdall interconnect for my source components.
Just a heads up for the nordost crowd.
The headphone cable came from their heimdall 2 collection that is part of their norse 2 classification.
The norse series of cables from nordost comprising heimdall frey and tyr were next followed more recently by valhalla 2 which will be the subject of a later review.
These satisfied about 80 percent of my requirements for the review.
