RE: I guess I won't know if my Chinese Valhalla speaker cables are better

In my system, the fake Valhalla cables sounds excellent using low power SET amps or Class A amps to high sensitivity speakers (94 dB and ~100 dB) compared to the real Nordost Blue Heaven Rev. II that I own and Furez 12 ga. with Viborg pure copper banana plugs speaker cables I constructed from a recipe in this forum. But it took me several days running the cables into a FryKleaner before I reached this plateau. During the first two weeks of using the cables, it sounds awful and made me buy a set of solid copper banana plugs to replace the ones on the cable but I hesitated and got busy in doing other things. Looking back now, I am so glad that I waited to do so.
I do not believe in directionality in cables unless there's a shield involved (right hand rule of magnetic flux to the flow of current) and never will. Also I did not believe in burn in as far as cables are concerned, but this experience changed my perception regarding burn-in.
I bought several of the fake Odin IC's as well and unaware of the drastic change in performance or sound I experienced with the Valhalla cables if there's any.
Hang in there with the fake Valhallas. They are great but it will test your patience which in this hobby of ours is not really a word of encouragement. The speaker cables will continue to change in sound for the better in my experience and I am confident that you will notice it.
