Transparent digital vs. Anaconda digital

Bo1972,

Thanks for your reply. I note your use of the word "often" to qualify your observations.

Frankly, IMO, trying to listen to cables at shows where the systems are unfamiliar and the settings are often noisy may not be the best way to audition cables -- and to determine if the cables may be the cause of the out-sizing you are observing, or others "problems". Systems can be complex. There may be a number of reasons for what you are observing. I prefer to listen at home with a system I am familiar with -- and take the time in a quiet setting to isolate audio "problems". It is not normally possible to isolate these "problems" at shows, in my experience, because you are usually not free to experiment with cables and components at these venues. The result is that one is often left conjecturing about these problems -- and speculating about the possible causes.

At a few shops we had the same thoughts. Also at the distributer We heard the same kind of image we don't like.

I would suggest lend some Purist Audio Limited Edition and compare them. Then you know......

Bo1972,

I have just inserted a Shunyata Python CX power cord and a Shunyata Zitron Anaconda digital cable. Images of instruments and vocals are the same as before insertion -- in proportion to the rest of the sound stage. No change.

It Always depends with which cable you compare it.

Because all different brands have their own properties in sound and in stage.

I recently did a comparison between a Shunyata powercable and conditioner. The KE powersource was superior to the AV of Shunyata.

Same about the Purist Audio powercable.

Bo1972,

I am comparing them to David Elrod cables.
