I have heard Valhalla in several different installations and I have listened to several different Joseph speakers. Based on this experience, I speculated that if Mr. Yata heard that the "sound was killed," it was more likely the Josephs than the Valhallas that were giving him this impression. Had I spoken more carefully, I would have said it was likely the MATCH of the two that was responsible, but because I prefer Valhalla cable to Joseph speakers, I was less diplomatic.No Nordost cable is a pleasant or natural sounding match for speakers that sound tipped up, as all but the big (can't remember model number) Josephs sound to me. (Josephs tend to be mated with tube amps such as VTL's - Jeff's choice - which warm them a bit.) My guess is that they (and perhaps not Thiels either, which are also often mated with tube amps) are NOT really tipped up at all but flat, which in speakers almost always SOUNDS tipped up compared with concert hall sound which is considerably down in the treble region. Note my verb in the first sentence is "speculated." I have no idea what was really making Mr. Yata unhappy, but am speculating it had to do with a poorly judged cable/speaker match.
