NORDOST VALHALLA 2 POWER CORD

Introduction:

The Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord is a high-performance power cable designed to deliver the purest, most stable power supply to your audio and video components. As part of Nordost’s prestigious Valhalla 2 series, this power cord utilizes advanced materials, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous engineering to ensure that your equipment receives an unimpeded flow of electricity. This results in enhanced audio and video performance, allowing your system to operate at its fullest potential. In this overview, we will explore the features, technical specifications, and benefits that make the Valhalla 2 Power Cord an essential upgrade for any high-end audio or AV setup.

Key Features

  • Dual Mono-Filament Technology: The Valhalla 2 Power Cord incorporates Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, which suspends each conductor in a virtual air dielectric. This design significantly reduces dielectric contact and minimizes insulation losses, ensuring faster signal transmission and improved power delivery to your components.
  • High-Purity Silver-Plated Conductors: The power cord features seven silver-plated, solid-core 99.999999% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors. These conductors offer exceptional conductivity, allowing for an uninterrupted flow of clean power to your audio and video equipment, resulting in improved clarity, detail, and dynamic range.
  • Mechanically Tuned Construction: Nordost uses a mechanically tuned construction process to reduce internal microphonic effects and resonances. This ensures that the power cord delivers a stable and noise-free electrical current, allowing your components to perform optimally.
  • Low-Loss FEP Insulation: The Valhalla 2 Power Cord is insulated with high-grade Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP), which offers low capacitance and reduces dielectric losses. This material ensures that the power cord remains flexible while providing an efficient path for the electrical signal.
  • HOLO® Connectors: The Valhalla 2 Power Cord is terminated with Nordost’s HOLO

    ® connectors, which are designed for maximum conductivity and signal transfer. These connectors provide a secure and low-resistance connection, ensuring that your components receive a clean and stable power supply.

Comparing Valhalla 2 Power Cord to Standard Power Cords

The Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord offers several distinct advantages over conventional power cords:

  • Superior Conductivity: Unlike standard power cords that often use low-quality copper, the Valhalla 2 utilizes high-purity, silver-plated copper conductors, which offer better conductivity and signal transfer, resulting in a cleaner power supply.
  • Advanced Air Dielectric Design: The Dual Mono-Filament technology creates a virtual air dielectric, reducing signal loss and ensuring faster, more accurate power delivery compared to conventional power cords.
  • Precision Engineering: Nordost’s meticulous craftsmanship ensures that the Valhalla 2 Power Cord is built to the highest standards, providing a reliable and long-lasting upgrade to your system.

The Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord is a transformative upgrade for any high-end audio or video system, delivering the cleanest, most stable power supply possible. With its advanced technology, premium materials, and precision engineering, this power cord ensures that your components perform at their highest level, resulting in improved clarity, detail, and dynamic range.

Whether you’re an audiophile looking to elevate your listening experience or a home theater enthusiast seeking the best possible sound and picture quality, the Valhalla 2 Power Cord provides a significant improvement that can be heard and seen. By investing in the Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord, you are investing in the long-term performance and reliability of your system, ensuring that every aspect of your audio and video experience is as exceptional as possible.

Thanks to the application of our latest Dual Mono-Filament technology our Valhalla 2 Power Cords set an unprecedented margin of performance over the competition. The cable consists of 7 solid, silver-plated 16 AWG OFC conductors, each suspended in a Dual Mono-Filament matrix. The separate solid core conductors eliminate strand interaction, hot spots, and carbonization, which can occur in stranded cables. Unlike conventional power cables, which have propagation speeds that are less than 50% the speed of light, the Valhalla 2 Reference Power Cord has a speed of 91% the speed of light. Extruded FEP insulation used in V2’s construction is superior to all other materials. It has very low signal loss and high thermal efficiency, causing it to dissipate heat quickly. The use of FEP in a Dual Mono-Filament construction means that power is transferred more effectively, while the low resistance of the cable keeps power loss extremely low. The result… truly superb sound quality.

NORDOST VALHALLA 2 REFERENCE – INTERCONNECT, SPEAKER CABLE, PHONO CABLE, POWER CORD

“After spending vast amounts of time listening to the Valhalla 2 References, and even vaster amounts of time trying to analyze their characteristics, I ended up where I’d begun.  The Valhalla 2 Reference cables are the best I’ve ever heard, and made my system sound the best it ever has.”

– Brian Damkroger, Stereophile

NORDOST VALHALLA 2 REFERENCE INTERCONNECT, SPEAKER CABLE, AND POWER CABLE: FAST, QUIET, CLEAR

“The Valhalla 2, which has been considerably upgraded from its previous version, is a mesmerizing performer…It delivers the whole package: speed, detail, resolution, and musicality…Nordost has struck a fine balance here, producing a cable that will elevate the performance of just about any audio system.”

– Jacob Heilbrunn, The Absolute Sound

NORDOST VALHALLA 2 CABLE SYSTEM

“Yes, it is detail-packed, more focused, more clean, more dynamic, more precise, possessed of better inner detail, better microdynamics, and all the things that audiophiles find themselves drawn to, but more importantly it shows you what you liked about your music played through your system, in a more polished and professional presentation.”

– Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+

NORDOST VALHALLA 2 CABLES REVIEW

“I’ve been living with the Valhalla 2 cables for about six months, and I find myself listening to a lot more music than I used to. It’s not that I love cables. I love music. These cables bring out the music more than any others in my experience. They do this by offering the flattest and most extended frequency response, the highest level of detail, the greatest accuracy of instrumental and vocal tone and full responsiveness to transients and sustained harmonics. All these are technical considerations which can be measured in the laboratory. But to the listener, it comes through as transparency to the source, which is the measure of every element in the chain. There is no editorializing, no false emphasis in the lower bass, no blending of individual voices, no loss of texture on a stringed instrument, nothing that harms the flow of music or reduces its level of detail or dynamic range.”

  – Phil Gold, NOVO

NORDOST VALHALLA 2 CABLES

“Nordost knows the science; Nordost knows how to apply science to a very misunderstood field. Others play with fire, sticks and magic potions: Nordost is the antithesis—cable quality and energy transfer can be measured in scientific terms and proven conclusively to work as advertised.”

– Danny Kaey, Positive Feedback
