Default Nordost Odin Supreme Reference SC's and PC's in the house
Received on demo two Power Cords the other day and yesterday the third PC arrived along with a 4 meter pair of SC's.

So, after listening to the system for awhile with current arrangement, I installed the two Odin PC's on the amps and have been listening since.

Today, fired up the system, grabbed some reference cee dees and listening once more before I put the Odin SC's on the Raidho C3.1's and the third Odin PC on the VAC Signature MK IIa preamp.

Will update as I progress with impressions.

All Odin cables have been well burned in on the Nordost VIDAR and/or in a system(s).

Happy Holidays Folks,

Bob

Looks good Bob. Those are some pretty sweet looking SC's! What's the deal with the wood blocks? Do they serve a purpose other than marketing?

No audio purpose.

There are two wooden blocks per SC cable and one wooden block per PC. One on the SC cable (and the PC wooden block) has the serial number burned into it on one side and ODIN burned in on the other side.

Happy Holidays Folks,

Bob

Gotcha. I thought maybe they weighted the cable down to keep them in line.

My goodness Bob!

When I think I've gone too far with cables I just need to revisit this thread. I'm sure they'll sound ridiculous . Congratulations man.

His system just doubled in price!

My only bugbear with the Odins is that they are very stiff and were very difficult to route behind my rack. Then again I am used to using Crystal
