RE: Fake Nordost Odin interconnects from China

Okay so, the fake Odin 2 arrived more than a week ago and my friend came two days ago to my place so that I could listen to it extensively in my system (between DAC and preamp). We then went to his place and I could listen to it in his system, between CD player and integrated amp.

Again, I never heard the genuine Odin cable, and I never will - at least, not in my system. And if you have the financial means to afford the genuine cable, by all means, buy it. It most likely is superior in every way.
Let's see the fake Odin as just another Chinese product, let's try to forget it is the copy of a 20K interconnect.

With that out of the way, let me tell you: that cable sounds GREAT. Clarity and openness are way ahead of what I'm used to with my VanDenHul Integration cables. Transparency is very, very good.
It does sound "colder" (way colder) than my VDH cables but the latter are not famous for being neutral, they are a rather nicely colored cable. I would say the Chinese Odin is closer to neutrality.
It seems a bit insistent in the treble - but again, it could very well be my SMSL SU-8 DAC! it's far from high-end.
