Default Nordost Odin Cablles Review from The Audio Beat: When Only the Best Will Do....
The Audio Beat - Nordost Odin Interconnects, Speaker Cables and Power Cords

An excerpt from the concluding remarks to wet your appetite:

Quote:
There is not one thing about any of the Odin cables that is remotely practical or conventionally sensible, but if you have pockets deep enough to afford the best of the best, I am sorry to report to you that you will not be hearing everything that your system can do unless Odin holds pride of place.

I have spent much of the last fifteen years reviewing audio components. In that time, Odin stands as one of the five most important and game-changing products I have heard. It is therefore impossible for me to not give these interconnects, speaker cables and power cords my most enthusiastic endorsement. Those interested in the bleeding edge of the audio arts simply must hear them.

Prices: Interconnects, $15,999 per meter pair; speaker cables, $28,999 per eight-foot pair; power cords, $10,999 per four-foot length.

At these prices looks like I won't be hearing everything that my system can do

Strange but I've yet to hear a system that was plumbed with Nordost of any kind that I actually enjoyed...

i feel your pain. like the review says, when their Valhalla cables came out that spawned 4 trickle down cables in their Norse line: Tyr, Frey, Heimdall and Baldur. So hopefully the new odin will similarly spawn trickle down cables that are more affordable.

A very good friend of mine has an all Odin system in his system. Heavenly and breathtaking. Absolutely state-of-the-art.

"The Best" was a figure of speech Dan, as in, top notch, bleeding edge, SOTA, etc...Nordost does not use that descriptor about any of their products. I used it as in very high end...that's all.
