Norodst Valhalla 2 vs. Odin 1 Power Cable (20A)

[divertiti]

Has anyone had experience hearing both or moving from one to the other? I'm debating the cable to feed my Qbase Reference. I've heard the Valhalla 2 and it sounds amazing, but Nordost suggests Odin 1 will be better still (Odin 2 outside of budget for now). I have reservations about the Rhodium plugs used in Odin 1. Any insights would be welcome.

My experience is that for power cables Odin1 is quite a lot better than Valhalla2, more organic sound to my ears.

Thanks for sharing that, can I ask under what circumstances and in what system that comparison was done? Which component or power conditioner was the cable comparison done on, and what were the cables in the rest of the system?
