I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique based in Minnesota. This Nordost Valhalla 2 power cable is in on consignment from one of my clients. It is a 1M length with Nordost HOLO:PLUG terminations, a US NEMA plug on the wall end and a 15A C15 IEC connector on the component end. The cable is in very good condition with only minor wear on the male connector, and is in perfect working order.

The cable comes with its original box and paperwork.

The Valhalla 2 sits at the top of Nordost’s Reference range, and it is the power cord that taught a lot of listeners how much a power cable can actually change. Where many high-end power cords take a filtering approach and trade a bit of life for a quieter background, the Valhalla 2 goes the other way. It is about speed and unconstrained delivery. Put it on a source component or preamplifier and the first thing you notice is how much faster and more open the presentation becomes: leading edges are sharper, decays are longer, and the soundstage widens and deepens with a clear sense of air around each performer. Dynamic swings come through without any sense of compression, and there is a precision to the timing that makes rhythm and pace feel more natural. It does all of this without adding brightness or thinning out tonal body, which is the balance Nordost’s Reference cables are known for. If your system already leans on Nordost interconnects and speaker cables, the Valhalla 2 power cord keeps that same speed and transparency consistent from the wall onward.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I prefer to accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price. Credit card payments are also possible for a 3.1% convenience charge.

More about the cable:
The Nordost Valhalla 2 is the power cord in Nordost’s Reference range, designed and manufactured in Holliston, Massachusetts. The Valhalla series was first introduced in 2001, and Nordost revisited it in 2013 with new production techniques and materials to create Valhalla 2. The power cord uses seven 16 AWG conductors of silver-plated, 99.999999% pure solid-core OFC. Solid-core conductors eliminate the strand interaction, hot spots, and carbonization that can develop in stranded cables. Each conductor is suspended in Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament construction, in which FEP monofilaments are wound around the conductor before high-purity class 1.1 extruded FEP insulation is applied, minimizing contact between conductor and dielectric. The lay and length are mechanically tuned to reduce internal microphony and high-frequency impedance resonance. DC resistance is 1.33 ohms per 1,000 feet. Velocity of propagation is 91% of the speed of light. The cable is rated at 20A. Termination is Nordost HOLO:PLUG US (NEMA) to Nordost HOLO:PLUG IEC-C15. Backed by Nordost’s limited lifetime warranty.
