Default Nordost Cable hierarchy

I am considering Nordost interconnects and speaker cables. Talking to dealers they seem to carry or promote end of line discontinued lines that I find very confusing when I go to Nordost site.
So I know the Valhalla sits at top of the food chain. What are the 3 other right after Valhalla in Interconnects and speakers cables?

Thank you.

Original Tyr cables are superb.

At closeout prices, grab what you can as they are a bargain.

My 2 cents worth In order:

Top: Odin - Have not heard- worth more than my house, car & retirement fund combined.

2nd: Valhalla- only listened to the Power Cords & Speaker Cable- stunning- out of my budget.

3rd: TYR2- Have not listened to.

4th: Frey2- Listened to speaker cable only- excellent- Red Dawn on Steroids!

5th: Heimdal2- Listened to interconnects & speaker cable- Impressed, a big step-up from my Red Dawns- my next up-grade.

6th: Red Dawn- What I use now (Interconnects, Speaker Cable & Shiva Power Cord)- balanced, clean, fast, detailed- cannot beat at the price.

7th: Blue Heaven- Heard them all, use 1 interconnect. Different tone (softer?) from Red Dawn- great price- but I prefer Red Dawn which has more excitement & detail IMHO .

8th: Purple Flare - not heard. Friend uses this cable it on his cheap HiFi- he likes it. Haven't had a decent listen to comment.

9th: White Lightning - use this speaker cabling only in my home theatre set-up. Low price, but would not use on a 2 channel system of any value ( HT is not a biggy for me- I watch TV for Rugby & Cricket pretty much exclusively- so I don't spend $$ on it-my HT is very basic)
