SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE?

Dolphin, The Whale uses some custom IEC so that it literally clamps the component male IEC pins . No sagging seen with this cord. Mike

That's good news. I had figured that I would have to hang them from ribbons, though I probably will need some sort of support for the one going to the little Bel Canto DAC. I am mailing my order for two of the Whales today.

Dekay, did you get your Whales yet? And how do they sound in your system?

Hi Jay: Part of my system (the Audion Silver Night 300B) is at the shop, so I am breaking one of the cords in on the computer and the other on my DAC which is the only piece of gear that I could easily fit the cord to with my current setup (soon be relocated to more spacious surroundings - a closet). I auditioned both of the cords (out of the box) on my DAC and player for approx. one hour and experienced a fuller and more 3D sound right off the bat (this was with my Musical Fidelity X-A1 powering the system). I had to remove the cord from the player though because I could not fit the player into my cabinet due to requiring more space for the PC in the back. Even with only one now installed in this system, the bass response and the depth, or roundness, of instruments has increased for the good. When I get the system back together, relocated and the PC's run in I will post an update. My first impression was very positive.

The Black Mamba is a very good power cord but it's not in the same league as the Whale Elite. I am on my second Whale and use to have the Black Mamba. The Whale is a lot more robust in the bass and tight detail with smooth highs. The Whale is in parallel with the King Cobra and Fatman which I also own.
