Any guilt I might have had about my own system all went away when I saw the MSRP of the Odin. Congrats!

Prior to purchase, I think of the expense more times than I care to count. It sort of nags at you; but, afterwards, when the item is "in-the-house," I forget all about that agony & just close my eyes & smile.



Best Sir,

Bob

Seriously, the 2's have a strengthening membrane running down 1/4th the way down on one side. Why they felt that necessary is beyond me as these cables are nearly as stiff as a 2x4. I forgot how stiff they actually are, but have them in place where they will remain for quite some time.

Additionally the 2's have gold plated connectors and but understand are the same AWG as the V1's: 26x20 AWG wires per conductor.

Best Sir,

Bob

Man that's a beauty.

Bet it sounds phenomenal.

Just found this thread... GREATNESS.

In the past 6 months I have added 3 Odin Supreme Reference power cables and will agree with Bob that its amazing what its done to my system. I already had a Valhalla 2 power cable and its excellent. But the Odin takes it a little further. The speed and attack is better. More 3Dimensional. I was worried that it might be too bright and revealing as my Martin Logan CLX's take no prisoners. 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.
