Just another heads up on a manufacturers planned price increase. If anyone is interested in taking advantage of the always generous DaVinci Discount for forum members as well as the lower current pricing let me know. Also, I have some customers upgrading and will have some trade in cables available including some Valhalla 2 and Odin 2. This is a great opportunity to get some fabulous pricing on Nordost. If you check with individuals on the forum who use Nordost they really make an excellent pairing in systems with Martin Logan speakers. Nordost technology is such that the signal speed is extremely fast, in most cases 95% of the speed of light or faster. I, and many others have found this really accentuates the speed and accuracy of the electrostats. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss further. And please, can we not make this a cables dont really make a difference thread. If thats your opionion thats fine but there are very many people who do hear a difference. Also, in Nordosts case there are measureable differences such as capacitance, inductance, DC resistance, shielding coverage and the earlier mentioned speed of propagation. There are measurable differences, and science behind the Nordost cables design. I'd be happy to discuss this with anyone. Also, Nordost has always been very happy to let people demo there cables. They create specific demo cases for their cables that can be checked out and tried at home (pictures included, cases in photos not full because we use the cables in our demo systems). Also, Nordost has a very high end cable burn in platform called the Vidar. All nordost cables purchased from DaVinci include this service (also pictured). I'd be happy to discuss all of this with anyone whos interested.
