I upgraded my Taipans to the Pythongs and felt a considerable improvement on all levels. I thought my rig sounded great before with great resolution, low (or no) noise, very black backgrounds and wide, dep soundstage, etc. The Pythons showed me that it wasn't as black a background as I thought. Much greater rresolution and air around the instruments. It was pretty much an "holy !@#$" moment. I do have shunyata pythons throughout including the hydra. I do believe that makes a difference.
Shunyata Python Helix compared to Taipan Helix
First, I've researched this already but would still like to pose the question -
Anyone familiar with the differences between these cords? I recently picked up a used Python Helix to compare in my system, which is already fitted with Taipan Helixes. It doesn't appear to be a big difference maker. Slightly more resolving with a bit more bottom end response (too much low end response for my taste initially). Questioning the difference in price (used and new) for the Python, but perhaps it needs time to settle in. Maybe the low end response is what people are paying for?
I've found more high frequency response differences between my Taipans, which all have different platings on the AC ends (Nickel, Silver and Copper). These different platings work well when tuning/matching between components.
