Every single part of the recording can be followed with ease. I heard new detail ( new instruments) on recordings which I heard hundreds of times. It is so clear wenn they stop witht these words. There is no harshness in the hig freq, but they are still more open than ever. I never heard during singing words end so clear. what is the weakest part of the Valhalla is much more open. High's are open like the Valhalla, but voices and instruments are more 3d.
There is so much more authority in the whole freq. So how it is possible? Low freq are better defined and go deeper than Aqueous and Valhalla. Now I can say that: Pass labs X250.5 + Onkyo PR-SC5509 and Purist Audio LE powercable has more depth, focus and air compared to what I had with Pass labs XA100.5+ Pass labs XP-20 and Purist Audio Ann Aqueous on every Pass unit. To be unnest this is the best powercable what I heard on a power amp to date. But wenn it passes the first corner it gets problems in grip. Valhalla is like many Nordost acels like a car which can drive very fast. Individual focus is so much better than the Valhalla. As you know I tested many cables and tested a lot of expensive stuff. It is even superior compared to the Purist Audio Aqueous Ann which I have still two of with Oyaide F1 plugs. Beside this it is superior to a Valhalla powercable. To be unnest it is a different price range than the Valhalla powercabel. I will write a review soon only about this cable. Yesterday I received the Purist Audio LE 2013 powercable. Individual focus gives you the advance you can focus on a specific part ( voice, 2nnd and 3th voive or instrument) during listening. It will give you a big smile on your face. Wenn you use it right you can get a 3d holographic stage with a musical real sound and extreemly sharp individual focus.
These properties all togheter including the room will let you hear the sound you get. Wenn you use the right tools ( I call speakers, amps, sources, conditioners and cables tools) you can use all there properties. A violin or voice can be very small in dimension in a small room. Wenn you understand it, you know exactly whatis missing.
That is why I learn people what it is so they can use it for themselves. Wenn you use beside the Nordost loudspeakercable a Nordost interconnect.you will never improve the individual focus what should be there. But.it needs to be put in the right place. Nordost can give extra resolution ( details) compared to other brands.
