Powersnakes power cords

Jasman, I have one in my system along with a JPS Digital PC on my CD. The two power cords really smoothed out my bright system.

The strengths of the Black Mamba have been discussed here many times, and it makes sense for higher end systems, cost is very high at $700 new/450 used, but performance is outstanding. To further complicate the matter Shunyata Hydra is available for less than the cost of 3 Black Mambas. I have often wondered how a Hydra/4 Sidewinders would compare to 4 Black Mambas with no Hydra.

I own four Sidewinders currently, if I were budgeting more money for power cords I think I would try a Hydra first before spending big bucks on indvidual higher end snakes.
Seems like a more "complete" solution to power upgrades.

I am using 2 Black Mambas (on transport and DAC) and three PS Audio Lab Cables plugged into a Hydra. I find the background to be much quieter than w/o the Hydra. Also tried the Hydra with the stock PCs and found a definite improvement with the high-end PCs in place. This is probably due to the fact that RF noise is being emitted/picked up by the stock PCs and not with the shielded PCs.

Yeah I thought the King Cobra on my CD was one of the most startling improvments I have done. I also have 2 Vipers on my amps. Lucky is the man with a Hydra, I inquired about getting one and the wait was 8 weeks.

I was stunned by the improvements I heard when I first put a Black Mamba in my system. And I want to add that this cord is very flexible (physically, it bends easily), which I consider a MAJOR plus. Some cords on the market are so stiff that if can be nearly impossible to keep them from pulling away from the component or the wall. If you can't make a good square-on connection, what good is it?
