I am a cheapskate. These are around 32 years old, in as near mint condition as is possible and in a beautiful real rosewood finish (as their big brothers next to them). Built solidly and in good olde England. Not tested yet but I have some time tomorrow. I did put some links on and will look at what else is required if I like them.

Very curious to know what is does to your esoteric. Power cable upgrades are next on my list. But Valhalla out of reach.. in the realm of nordic gods :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

When I using the hybrid power line w ncf50 on my 350 , it sounds very good. But lacks the openness, air, micro details , depth , soundstage on my main streaming system as they are all full nordost (90% Valhalla 2) so I make a move to have them retired and pick up 2 freys for my 350s 3 weeks ago , as at that time dealer do not have Valhalla as ready stock. And when I plug on the freys. - complete Nordost full loom throughout my system , it display what is missing from the above said traits. And yes , proven that full loom synergy do apply , at least for me. Hearing is believing , and the DNA of the Valhallas are flowing though all the veins , all the way to my speakers. If I chanced upon another Valhalla power cord ready stock, I will get it so 2 will go to 350s and the Freys will go to the esoteric ..
it’s that poisonous :joy::joy:

Sounds amazing @naimophile , enjoy every step of this. I have experienced on my new Luxman 509z that powerchords have huge effect. I was amazed how much impact. So, a really good powerchord is the next big thing in my system and i can guess that you will have tons of fun.

Valhalla 2 are very hard to find used where I live :roll_eyes:

Nice! Does it work well right behind the box.? I have one placed in a room corner and will get a second for another corner.

Thanks @frenchrooster, I’m really enjoying the system. Taiko is currently top of the list, but unlikely to be this year.
