Nordost ODIN Arrives
The ODIN arrived today – but not the Vidar cable burner – so do we put the cables on Raw? Or wait?
Well, we plan on putting them on raw, who has the patience to wait? Not us, I guess is the point 🙂
But the problem is we had errands to do, and one of the problems of having a partner at a time like this is:
I can’t just put on the cables when she isn’t here and she can’t just put them on when I am not here…. it isn’t fair to the otehr one to ‘miss’ the event.
So we both have to sync up long enough, so we both are here and both have a little extra time, so we can insert these things into a system and do a little listening.

The ends are protected by little bags.
Special WBT RCA plugs with Nordost Odin emblems.
The WBT next next gen are now mostly metal, but still have two plastic ‘grippers’ or ‘fingers’ at the business end.
So, Neli is out and about. The cables are just sitting here. What to do. What to do.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the Odin.
Enjoy,
Tom
Hey Tom,
We posted a few comments yesterday. Can’t really fully describe what’s what until these puppies are burned in. Whoever said patience was a virtue was NOT an audiophile. 🙂
Take care,
Mike.
Are the Odin that much better than Valhalla to match their astronomical price?
I await with interest what you think?

Hi Henry,
Well, they are certainly significantly better. And significantly more expensive. Personally, I’m glad we bit the bullet, so to speak, though it is indeed an astronomically-sized bullet…. Hard to listen to music without them anymore…
Take care,
Mike.
