Hello all,
I'm looking to purchase the WA22 and WDS-1 and I'm having a very friendly and helpful discussion with Mike at Woo Audio about this. I was recommended the Nordost Heimdal interconnects and powercords. And as you may know, these cables can very well end up costing more than the actual hardware. While I have no intention of using cables from Radio Shack or Costco, are cables this expensive really necessary? One suggestion I received for "best performance" was the Heimdahl2 XLR interconnect á $1162 for 1m (39") and Nordosts miminum recommended length is 1,5m! And since I plan on stacking the DAC and amp, what am I supposed to do with a 1,5m interconnect cable? Have this massive loop behind the stack that costs 2K just for kicks and giggles? I just don't get it. Anybody here want to dumb it down for me?
I would appreciate some input from other members about what interconnect and powercables you have found to work well with Woo that don't have exorbitant pricetags. Believe me, I'm willing to throw down some dime for this setup but some of these prices for cables is just bananas.

Cables make very little improvement in my system. I would invest on better tubes.
