RE: Ali Express Valhalla, Odin, IC's and Speaker Cables





Bro. Tomasz,

Apologies for getting sidetracked on my last post..., as I had received 4 different emails regarding these cables, and upon asking each of them what their systems consisted of, 3 mentioned using a preamp into an integrated amp | and while I'm all to aware of few of you've used said configuration for years | I just never saw the logic behind it, as I'd think even buying an entry level amp from the same company would allow for their house sound to remain true, as mentioned about in my way of thinking ( if allowed ) I'd never remotely think of placing a Linn Audio Preamp in found of a Naim Audio Power Amp or Nait for that matter and expect it to sound awesome..., but once again maybe it's just me?.

Getting back on point, 31 hours into listening to the Odin Gold Power Cord, it remains sonically the same as from day one, no wandering sonics or detail, but an extra layering of notes as well as separation can be heard | felt. I've wonder again if in my case an Odin 2 Silver is even needed?.

I can say that each component within my system offers a balance similar to both offering a sense of refinement | detailing in one, yet I'd have to be honest with myself, at about 85% I'm very very happy with the Aurender | Denafrips | SuperNait 3 | Rosso Florentino Pienza 2s, on a whole..., if anything I'd love to add another 7-8% transparency to the SuperNait 3's top end, but even then I might simply be nitpicking?, and in the end take the sonic capabilities to far right or left stream?.

So in truth..., I've found what I hear as the prefect blend for " Mi-Fi ", yet will be looking into exchanging the binding post and rca input jacks on the Pathos Acoustic Classic Model One MK ll, as well as power cord connectors to better ones on said Odin Gold, as to my eyes they look rather suspect at best quality wise that is, where either unplated copper?, or rhodium plated copper Monosaudio ac | iec connectors will suit my preferences to a "t", next I'm looking forward to exchanging the banana plugs on my sole pair of SCs, at which point I'm willing to ride or die with what I've..., period.
