IMPORTANCE OF A FULL LOOM

Valhalla  2  will  transform  your  hifi 
system.  Music  lovers  who  wire 
their  systems  entirely  with  these 
Reference  Cables  will  not  only 
achieve the performance they have 
been searching for, but will discover 
results  they  never  imagined  were 
possible.  Using  Valhalla  2,  you 
will  finally  find  yourself  immersed 
in  a  complete  and  pure  musical 
experience.

However, if a full loom of Valhalla 2 
is not an immediate possibility, you 
can  make  your  upgrade  in  stages. 
If any of your components are of a 
higher  quality  than  others  in  your 
system,  it  is  best  to  service  those 
components  by  upgrading  their 
cables  first.    However,  for  systems 
with  components  of  equal  quality, 
Nordost  has  provided  you  with  a 
comprehensive  framework  to  help 

prioritize  your  system  upgrade. 
First,  identify  the  most  important 
cable  in  your  system  —  the  power 
cord coming out of the wall, feeding 
your  QB8  distribution  block  —  and 
continue  by  following  the  diagram 
below...  

(Note: Every system is unique. There 
is always a chance you may benefit 
from deviating from this guide.)
