DCCA or Shunyata help?


I've realized quite a nice increase in detail after installing some NOS tubes in my 300b integrated amp. Now, I've kind of got it in my head that this improvement has revealed a need to upgrade power cords. I'm currently using an older Shunyata Taipan and am looking hard at a DCCA Eminence PC. Any shared experiences and thoughts on these products will be appreciated. Also, I'm more than willing to hear that I should stay put.

I was initially looking to spend about $1000. Sam, but it's not a hard target. It's just the point where any expenditure beyond, will have to result in an audio epiphany like experience relative to any lesser expenditure.
+1 on both Don and his cords, nothing but terrific experiences for me over the past few years with DCCA...I cannot comment on differences with Shunyata, no experience with them.
Sorry that I have come late to this party. I feel that I need to comment on DCCA’s wonderful new Eminence power cords.

To give a little background, I have owned many different power cords along my 40 year journey in this wonderful hobby including a number of Shunyata’s (original King Cobra, Python Alpha red version and the Taipan). The King Cobra was far and away the best of the bunch but not anywhere near the equal of the DCCA eminence. The Taipan was the weakest of the bunch as to my ears it sounded thin, devoid of warmth and ultra detailed. I also have owned a number of Don’s previous creations including some of his very early and beastly thick and cumbersome versions as well as the reference master and power master cords of a few years ago. Far and away the Eminence IMO is the very best that he has ever created and not by a small margin.

I love a dense rich sound with texture and a touch on the warm side. I also like plenty of detail with natural sounding air and dimensionality around vocals and instruments. I would guess that many on these forums would comment that it isn’t possible to have all of these qualities in one product. I am here to tell you that it is possible as Don’s newest creation has done just that for my system. Perhaps it is the fact that this pc is a hybrid of sorts using both copper foils and traditional wiring. I don’t know for certain what has gone into the creation of this cord but my ears tell me that it is something very special. In fact, I have invested considerable money into the purchase of four of these beauties.

If you want a power cord that will add bass without bloat to your system then this is the power cord for you. If you want a power cord that enlarges your current soundstaging and adds detail without distress to the ears then this is the pc for you. If you want a power cord that will envelop you in a big warm glow of natural and easy sound then this is the pc for you.

I really am not a person who is prone to hyperbole but using the new DCCA Eminence has really transformed my system into something very special. Please believe me when I say that I have looked a damn long time to finally find a power cord that does it all….well at least for me it does!!
Thanks Scifi for the great review. For the "magic" to appear, did u use just one dcca eminence pc or use eminence pc for all your equipment? It's an important question because each eminence pc is about $1,000. Where did you use the eminence pc? power conditioner, source or amp? Please share with us.
