Shunyata KING COBRA VX V1 `i` - thoughts on this power cord

Shunyata came out with this ; Special Edition '' i ''  King Cobra power cord a few years back and the folklore is that it was very expensive and very time consuming to make and was eventually discontinued. However, some had said that sonically it was amazing and still one of the best on digital sources. I will also note that you really do not see there on the open market. Your thoughts as I have a chance to buy one.

@asa should be interesting definitely let us know. Why didn't you use a VooDoo adapter instead of the switch to a 15 amp IEC?

This powercord to me in my system, was like adding a nice warm blanket and wrapping it over my speakers. Didn't help that the highs were a bit grainy. Bad synergy I guess.

Lak: I don't like adapters. No experience necessarily, just a starting principle.

Granted, this could just be nostalgia on my part.

Aniwolfe: which component/s did you have it hooked to?

BTW, aniwolfe, I will putting back together my main system over the next year or so, from scratch. And will probably go with Hijiri Takumi PCs there.

Didn't matter where I but the cord. I heard the heavy blanket.
