Hi, I have a few Shunyata CX powercords (anaconda cx and king cobra cx). Has anyone done a detailed comparison? What are your thoughts as to the differences?
I did just replace my Hydra vray II with a Hydra Triton, and that was a nice improvement, in clarity, naturalness, ease and dynamics. It was one of those upgrades that once it goes in...wasn't even worth going back to compare...
I found both the great sounding Shunyata Ztron and Python CX power cords to not only be rich and dynamic, but to lean toward smooth and warm - while maintaining their great soundstage, dynamics and openess. To me, in my system, the Python CX surprisingly sounded a touch more alive, rich, and musical than the ZTron.
I had the Cx power cables, and now have Ztron power cables. When first trying the Cxs the burn in time was ridiculous so after reading others comments I called and talked to Grant at Shunyata. He recommended pre burning with fan or air conditioner, ect. From then on when I bought more PCs I ran them from 3 to 4 weeks before trying them. That got them 90% to 95% burned in taking all of the torture out of the process. I have compared a Cardas Clear and and a Valhalla1 vs these Shunyata PCs and preferred the Shunyatas. Happy listening
If you know the business end of a screw driver from the handle all one needs to do is purchase a hand full of IEC, standard duplex, and plastic service boxes. Making up a group of plug-in boxes so that you can (safely) connect your power cords one-after-the-other (like a long extension cord) and then plug one cord into the mains and a refrigerator on the receiving end and forget about it for several weeks... Painlessly effective.
