I had a listen to the level 3 XLR few weeks ago in my system. And compared with Valhalla 2 XLR which I am using now.

My system is almost full Nordost loom except speaker cables and interconnects from sources (lumin X1 and YBA passion phono) to preamp.

My finding is Graceline level 3 excels in the midrange texture, and with considerable good resolution and speed compared to previous black cat model (see below). Nordost is better in the speed, attack and the frequency extension in my opinion.

I also have black cat triode speaker cables (old model). Level 3 retains the black cat house sound, being musical and organic. And quite significant improvement over triode in term of the resolution attacks, with sweeter and better midrange texture too.
