Valhalla Interconnects

Valhalla interconnect cable from Nordost makes the most neutral cable connection ever developed. If you want to hear transparency and musical detail with the most extreme accuracy that your system is capable of producing, Valhalla is the only choice. Valhalla has raised the standard of interconnect design to new heights. This is truly the extreme reference cable.

“Special. Very special indeed. ..... I was genuinely impressed by the SPMs, feeling that they established new standards in many important areas. The Valhallas have just rendered them obsolete as any sort of reference. Tis ruined that I am.”
Roy Gregory Hi Fi + Issue 9

“These are sensational cables, and you'll love what they'll do for your system. The Valhallas get my very highest, most unconditional recommendation.”
Brian Damkroger Stereophile review

The Valhalla interconnect consists of 8 conductors made from solid, optimized diameter 99.999999% oxygen free copper that has 78 microns of extruded silver on the surface. The surface of each conductor is highly polished before a high precision Micro Mono-Filament wrap is applied. The Micro Mono-Filament is helically wound over the conductor. A precision FEP tube is then extruded over each conductor. The eight FEP tubes are then bonded with a proprietary technique. A dual layer of silver served shielding is then wound around the assembly. This design reduces dielectric contact by more than 80%. Extremely mechanically stable, the conductors are effectively suspended in inert air, preventing oxidation.

Valhalla interconnect is extremely fast at over 87% the speed of light. When it comes to transmitting wide bandwidth at incredible speed this cable is state of the art. This gives incredible transient response so that no musical detail is lost. This allows one to follow complex and difficult recordings with ease. Valhalla is ideal for use with SACD and other high resolution music formats. Each Valhalla interconnect cable is hand built with WBT Next Gen phono plugs or gold XLR connectors. The connectors used are selected for their sonic properties and minimal effect on signal speed and coherence.

Note of caution: You may find Valhalla cables with all sorts of terminations and odd lengths. If you go down that route and buy one you will really miss out on Nordost Valhalla quality. The termination method and design lengths are an important factor of design. Do not fool yourself buy the real thing.
