At the mid-fi level, this has to be one of the best cables out there. The original first version of the Heimdall was a best seller and now in its second iteration, the Heimdall 2 continues on the strength of the first Heimdall with its incredible resolution, detail, transparency and now with improved refinement. This is a “mid-price” priced cable without the “mid-range” sound quality. To go even better than the Heimdall, you would need to go much higher up the Nordost cable ranks and pay a lot more. So this is an easy best buy now for under $2,200 now.
Cables look good with minor scuff marks from use. Cables were custom ordered where one cable is 4m long and other is 5m long to accommodate the slightly longer distance to the other speaker from the system that was sitting on the side of the listening room.
