That's not the case with Valhalla power cords, vibration isolation and power conditioning, I don't hear any weaknesses. It sounds heavier and warmer than HD590 ever sounded. For the past few months I have had too much bass and have tried to decrease it by modding the cables, and it works. Nordost Valhalla is a great cable that allows easy fine tuning of the sound by decreasing the amount of conductors used. |

In other words without any major change in componnets, like a better source or an amp, just replacing the power cords, adding a vibration isolation and a power conditioner??? [size=medium]Yeah right!!![/size] I think that you will not find too many people that will beleive that, sorry to be so honest with you... |

Cables, power and vibration, they are all that matter to me. They make K1000 sound strong, full, heavy, smooth, fast, transparent, detailed, dark and open at the same time. HD590 + stock cables sounds thin and boomy, it only sounds heavy at low frequencies but bright in the highs. But with K1000 it sounds heavy and warm from top to bottom because of higher resolution and less jitter in the system. |
