Just an update for everyone.
 
 
All pending orders are being completed as soon as possible, most of the remaining should ship out this week.

Woah! When did Trevor stop trading and why? Does this mean no more Norse Cables?

I am now quite envious to those who managed to get a Norse cable before Trevor had to stop trading...

I think you should probably wait for confirmation or at least email Trevor before announcing something like that premature. I haven't heard anything from Trevor regarding the future of Norse Audio.

Hi kskwerl, I can only comment on the construction of the cable as I have made too many changes to my system at the same time.

New headphones (LSD-2), new tubes (6EA7 & USFA 596) and new cable (Skuld 4).

But, I can tell you about the construction of the cable.

The Skuld 4 is beautifully built, very light and feels very silky in the hand.

I also ordered an 8 foot extension cord using the Skuld 4 cable (I'm waiting for its arrival)

I will do some more listening this weekend and try to take some photographs.

All in all, I am extremely happy with the Skuld 4 cable, and highly recommend its purchase.

That's exactly what was in Trevor's email. My order was cancelled and he made clear he won't be taking anymore order, although that might be temporary?
Anyway, sadly no Norse audio cable for me so if anyone has a HE-6 cable for sale I am interested.

More details will be posted for all when I can.  Yes, had to cancel or refund only certain specific orders (some of the Rayon jacket orders, few others, etc).  Hopefully the actual resolution and changes will be realized within about 6-8 weeks. 
 
But if at this point you have not gotten an email about refunds, there is not a problem and your order is being completed absolutely as soon as possible.  All pending orders should be shipped 100% within the next week. 
 
So keep a look out for posting of new details and upcoming changes fairly soon (maybe 1.5 weeks).

Hopefully, Trevor is sorting this out in a way that everyone can get a Norse cable of interest and we all can drop even more money into these excellent cables =)
 
I received a Skuld 4 Ver. 2 and I am using it with a Hifiman HE-500. Just started listening to it, so I won't want to comment much on differences to the stock cable but one thing is clear: These have much better detail retrieval than the stock cable. I have heard an OHNO cable before and I hear the similarity with respect to this. However, the Skuld sounds different. Treble is more present (SPC after all) than with the only copper OHNO cable, which I like, giving a balanced frequency impression. It sounds more transparent than the stock cable too and I agree with the comments CrazyRay made to the build:

I do enjoy it. That's for sure. Here is a pic to give you an impression:

In case I'm blind, has Trevor publicly confirmed that he's going to stop trading permanently somewhere?
 
It will be tragic if he does as I was holding out for his Pure Silver Reign for my LCD3. Nobody styles them like he does, especially with those Zebrano Y-splitters :frowning2:

I think a couple of pople just read into the comments some people posted a little too far. From how I understand it, he's just having a bit of trouble keeping up with all these orders because he makes them so sexy!
