@TigzStudio can speak to the more nuanced differences between a Drausk, Drausk Lite & Drausk Lite (v2) based on wire gauge and cable geometry, but in general the copper cables such as Drausk will have a warmer presentation, musical and engaging with a deep textured bass

Pure silver or Hybrid cables (such as a Vygarde or Skollvar) will be more detailed, analytical with crisp extended highs and a fast attack. If your headphones already lean bright like an LCD-5 pure copper has better synergy.

Thank you! I’ll keep my hopes alive for a cheaper Vygarde today.. need it for my RAD-0.

How is Vygarde different from Scollvar?

From an email from Trevor when I ordered one of the first Skollvars

“19.0awg fusion that I just took the main stock of last week. It has a higher copper to silver ratio, using two completely different designed
wires per polarity (8-wire design).”

Skollvar v2 is up.

Want a new cable for my new Atriums (cocobolo) and can't make up my mind, haha. The aesthetics of the sleeveless copper and silver are tempting me more than anything else, haha.

How can I see what the wood splitters look like? I wanted to see what they look like before ordering it.

Should be some photos on his website, look around the gallery and splitter options. Some are sprinkled around on examples of the various cables.

Here is Caribbean Rosewood and Zebrano which are the only two he currently has with the laser engraved logo (unless something’s changed in the last few weeks) Logo isn’t shown on the Zebrano but it’s the same small logo as the Caribbean Rosewood.

In general, I’d say you can’t go wrong- one guiding principle: Email Trevor for feedback, and include what gear you have, what sound signature you prefer, and the musical genres you listen to.

He will be very busy post-Thanksgiving, so be patient, but his guidance is always helpful and he won’t push his most pricey offerings unless it’s the right sonic fit.

The other option is to use sound signatures of the headphone and cable and try to complement each… to my ears, the Vygarde is the most versatile when I compare it to the Drausk.

But if an organic/slightly warm presence matches your Atrium and your amplifier, it could be a great choice for you. I will say that the Drausk plus an OTL amp with an R2R DAC as the source ended up being too much warmth for me, and a hybrid cable was a good fit ultimately… but everyone is different.

There are definite advantages to owning multiple Norne cables with a stable of headphones that use the same interface/plug; being able to swap around to find your perfect mix is a good long-term goal from my experience.

Is the Scollvar better than the Vygrade? Why is it more expensive?

 

[TigzStudio]

Apologies everyone, I am a tad behind on all the updates, still working at it. I will also work to have more information added to answer most questions. Thanks for the patience with me.

Just ordered a Vygarde with the “2022BF” code. It’s a great deal!

Supporting a small business makes it that much cooler, too

I tried that code and I couldn't resist the discount. Looks like I will get another Skollvar soon.

Any chance anyone has drausk, charge and the Skollvar? Interested to hear the differences esp to the skollvar? I suspect skollvar is just cleaner, more spacious? Wondering if it looses out the midrange body the drausk provides. Any insights appreciated. Also emailed Trevor to find out.

Anybody having difficulty applying the black friday code to Skollvar today (Sunday)?

 

[eTHE2]

Haven’t tried today, but the code was backwards on one page and correct on another page. Try the letters after the year number. Hopefully that sorts the issue.

 

[KG Jag]

On Friday I also had a problem with the backwards code copied directly from the Norne web site.

 

[kingkikapu]

Thanks for the tip about the code being backwards. Works!
