...their contribution to sound of the all-V2 system was far greater than I'd expected.

One of the key benefits of the Valhalla 2 is its ability to enhance detail and clarity. The cable's construction, featuring silver-plated OFC solid core conductors and FEP insulation, minimizes signal loss and interference, resulting in a more detailed and transparent soundstage. This allows you to hear the nuances and subtleties of your music with greater precision.

Another significant advantage of the Valhalla 2 is its improved dynamic range and timing. The low-loss design of the cable enables a more accurate and dynamic reproduction of music, with improved timing and a more realistic presentation. This translates to a more engaging and immersive listening experience, where you can feel the energy and emotion of the music.

Advanced shielding and filtering techniques further enhance the sound quality by minimizing noise and distortion. This results in a cleaner and more transparent sound, allowing you to hear the true essence of the recording.

The Valhalla 2 also incorporates Nordost's proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, which creates a virtual air dielectric, further reducing signal loss and improving sound quality. This technology, combined with mechanically tuned lengths, optimizes the cable's performance and minimizes internal resonances.

After spending vast amounts of time listening to the Valhalla 2 References, and even vaster amounts of time trying to analyze their characteristics, I ended up where I'd begun. The Valhalla 2 Reference cables are the best I've ever heard, and made my system sound the best it ever has.
