Hi,

I totally agree and have been experimenting for a while... Tubes in, tubes out. I/C and Speaker cabling also. I am specifically interested in Comparisons between the Ribbon (Chinese Nordost) and Braided 8/12 TC (Chinese Kimber). I am looking for some direction/opinions to guide me. The Valhalla 2 certainly can be costly. Thanks for Your Input.

Best Regards,
Chuck

A review of the Chinese Kimber knock-off by Jay (Jay's iyagi) indicated is was not the equal of the real Kimber. Being that quite a few here have had good success with the Chinese Valhalla 1, it would appear to be the safer bet on the cheap. I would check the comments here and see where most have bought their V1's at AliExpress. There's always confusing groups of sellers at AliEx with varied prices.

  Good info, Sound Advice (pardon the pun). Certainly appears the Valhalla variants are getting the thumbs up. The Valhalla 2 certainly sports a higher price... Thanks Again.

    It's been discussed here before, I think, but from what I've seen the Valhalla (sometimes referred to as the Valhalla 1) is actually a copy of the Heimdall while the Valhalla 2 at least by conductor count is a copy of its namesake. Hence the higher price.
