@uberwaltz,
Over the years, I’ve tried all of the second generation power cords before the 8 & V-RAY. From Copperhead to Anaconda. I sold my Python a few months back because it was way too long for my needs and the Signal Cable silver was a noticeable upgrade @ a sixth of the cost. At the time of my experimenting, the Taipan & Anaconda were the price performers at used prices. Look forward to hearing what you come up with.
BTW, I've been impressed enough with the Mark Tunis interconnects that I'll probably try some of his silver PCs.
