But Holy Moly I love it.



Yes they are expensive but well worth it. I also have a Odin 2 power cord on the way...it will feed the Nordost QB8.

Tim, good to hear the excitement and feel the same way you do regarding Nordost!

I've been on a Nordost journey for about 7 years. Once I had my main components picked out 3 years ago I decided to ramp up my cables and see where it went.

Started with Frey eventually moved to Frey 2 and then took a gamble on Tyr 2 XLR and that really opened my eyes to the possibilities of the upper level of Nordost. Eventually went with all Tyr 2 except for SC. Had an opportunity before purchasing T2 SC to get a pair of used Odin SC and XLR's (What's better then a used cable right!?). Boy did that sound great with the Tyr 2's! Over time had to try O2 started with power and now ended up with almost my whole system O2 expect V2 to the CLX/Subs and Odin power to the W20. Along the way added the QKore 6, two QX4's that required two more O2 power plus many other Nordost products. All I can say is I would of thought at some point the CLX's would of said "enough, please stop I can give you no more" but as I moved up the scale in Nordost they kept on giving me more actually a lot more.

One warning - unless you can purchase don't listen as once they are removed it will not go well for you!

Yes indeed. I have slowly added some Nordost Power Cables and indeed as you go up the ladder there's just no way to go back.

Just a fantastic cable series.

Greetings all. First post for me in the Nordost section of this wonderful forum. I Wonder If someone using a full loom of Nordostf have tried the Shunyata Sigma NR v2 in combination with Nordost. I Wonder If there is synergy to be found using my present setup and adding one Sigma NR v2 to feed my power amp.
Present setup: wallsocket- Odin 1- QX4 - Odin 1- Qbase8 markII
The Sigma NR v2 would then feed MOON W8.
Prior to this I have tested the Alpha NR v1 in different combinations
With the Best outcome being keeping a solid first chain of Nordost products until the Qbase8 in order to perserve the Nordost signum sound which suits my ears. I then added the Alpha NR to either transport/DAC/power amp. The best result was when I connected it to the MOON W8. All suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,
Håkan

See my signature below. I love the Nodost QBase/QKore combination, with a Frey 2 cable from QBase into the wall. But I have only stock power cords from my other components into the QBase. Although I could hear a large difference with each of the Nordost power products I kept, I could not hear any additional improvement from upgrading other power cables.

Good luck--keep us posted!
