In Stereo with Mike & Rick - Episode 3 - Steve Greene with Nordost

[@MichaelTheOrange]

Thanks you for spending the time to do this and a big thanks to Steve for doing the interview. We need to time sync the audio and the video gentlemen.

You didn't mention your time as the Sylvania rep Steve.

[@TheEpicElement]

I Just can agree.

[@handymoore-ik7oc]

Or as the Akai rep. Lol!

[@handymoore-ik7oc]

Oh sorry Aiwa. And you did mention it.

Superb format and extremely interesting topics developed in a very enjoyable way thanks to Mike & Rick. Nevertheless, IMHO I felt that Mr. Greene wasn’t sharp enough in his answers re is own products or for example answering to Rick about the Nordost sound difference between the Odin 1 and 2. Also saying that Nordost doesn’t like to have speaker cables over 4m seems very strange to me… This is maybe due to the stress of the interview which is not an easy exercise after all

[@stephengreene9380]

Not sure where I said we don't like speaker cables over 4-meters. That's not the case. You may have misinterpreted where I mentioned that we cut/terminate our (Norse 2, V2 and O2) cables to tuned lengths only up to 4-meters since consequent inductance and capacitance begin to outweigh the benefits of the tuned lengths for lengths beyond 4-meters. IE.-a 2-meter cable is a bit longer than 2-meters, a 3-meter a bit longer than 3-meters, but after 4-meters, our cables are the exact length specified. We believe in working with resonance as opposed to working against resonance, hence the tuned lengths. Longer lengths (than 4-meters) are fine provided the gauge of the cable supports the longer length. I would not, for example, recommend a 30-foot (approx 9.14-meters) run of speaker cables using smaller than 18-gauge cable. There are calculators on the web for this type of information which also take the impedance of the connected speakers into account. Thanks for watching the video!

tried the Qv2, amd Qk1, they do make a difference, they do make background darker, but seriouly compress soundstage and make music dull, not worth the fuss, and they are not cheap

[@stephengreene9380]

Very sorry you had this experience. It runs counter to what most of us experience with the QV2 and QK1. One of the greatest benefits, in my (and others) experience is that the QV2, in particular, increases the depth and width of the soundstage. However, these two devices must be plugged into outlets that are on the same circuit breaker as the audio system in order to function properly.
