Please , which 7n, there are many having the technique, like Furutech for example. The Valhalla price is right up there, so prudent spending needed.

Jon47 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Thanks. I have the V2 back in my system at present, but find it has the Nordost trait of being a little light, looking for more organic cable but with the best of the V2. I hear Terrulium is coming out with a higher end USB cable, though I do know when. Was impressed with the current cable, esp at the price point, just did not have the control I wanted, esp in the bass. Link to comment
Jon47 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The only cable that I have heard in my system that met all my expectations was the Crystal Cable Absolute Dream, but at a price I am not willing to pay. Other than that, the Valhalla V2 does it all, except some the organics that I miss. Link to comment
Jon47 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Any suggestions at this level. Link to comment

I've listened to a lot of cables and those are the best bar none... in respect to USB... Link to comment

This is a major drawback, so at this price point I would say it is not up to the task. You can "downgrade", try the FTA und save some money?

Jon47 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi, Thx. I live in Singapore, so I doubt I would be able to listen to this cable. The Valhalla is very good, no doubt, just looking for a more organic presentation. I am sure if they ever bring out an Odin cable in USB this will be addressed. But then the Absolute Dream would be a good choice. Though, prices are stratospheric. Link to comment

When I say its the best I mean the top of the chain in every respect Link to comment

It hasn't been around for a long time and also its not a V1 its a V2 its very organic... I own v2 interconnects as well... i've upgraded overtime ...... Odin would be way beyond your price point if your complaining about the V2 Link to comment
Jon47 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Your right, it's the Valhalla USB. In my system the Valhalla USB is not organic...clean, fast, resolving...yes. I have an Odin power cord and love it. I am looking for suggestions around the Valhalla price point, if you don't have anything to add...that's fine. Link to comment

It's Valhalla 2 usb there is no Valhalla usb... if its not organic then I can't comment on what equipment you have but its one of the most organic cables and quite cables they have. What do you mean by suggestions about the price point?? Depends on your dealer.... Link to comment

It's pretty easy to make that statement actually... I"ve made it a number of times already... I compared it to a lot of cables... curios, synergistic, Sotm... etc.. I can't compare it to every usb cable in existence ..... I don't see people raving about the Callisto usb cable do some research on the Valhalla 2 usb cable ..... see what you find.....

Matt I don't think it is very expensive and it comes from Serbia. I do think it has an absolutely excellent price-performance-ratio ? Link to comment
