While the use of cables in a system is a personal thing, and one that brings endless debate, I can at least offer what I have observed in my system. I was using mostly Tyr II, Heimdall and some Valhalla until about a year and a half ago. At that time I started upgrading and doing so with my primary, most used components. I first purchased three Odin cables- the main power cord feeding the power conditioner first, then speakers, then the AES / EBU XLR digital cable between the music server and DAC. I then switched to Valhalla 2 mainly because of the cost. Let's face it, Odin is wildly expensive. I see V2 as being about 80% of Odin sonically at less than half the cost. V2 is highly resolving and very revealing. I believe that V2 will make a balanced system really sound remarkable, as well as illuminating system weaknesses. By no means are they the only brand of cables to do so, but be sure that they will. If you are a fan of Nordost cables, as I am, V2 is a great way to go. Of course, even V2 is not all that inexpensive but if your choice is between Odin and V2, and unless you want to sink about $150K in an all Odin cable loom, I would not hesitate to use V2.
