Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?


Hi there,
my post re the Thor Vs. Hydra has died a death.
Hence anyone compared the mains cables ?
I know some people firmly entrenched in either camp, a few enlightened individuals who mix & match but no one unbiased to outline the differnces.
I have been a long time Shunyata user (very happily) but the new cyberlinks are revealing a lack of pace and a darkness I'd like to address.
Really enjoyed some things some Electraglides brought to the equation (with judicious matching) but a) they have no ground and b)the connectors are sad & will not grip - if they don't grip, they are not likely to pass current and won't work to best advantage (imo).
Given Nordosts undoubted build quality, I'm wondering if they could be the answer. I don't like their i/c's or speaker cables but could use some of their pace & space, if held in check by the Shunyatas.
Cheers Si

I have compared Nordost Vishnu power cords with Shunyata Python Alphas in my system. On the Lamm M2.1s, the Vishnu was a faster sounding power cord. That's it. In every other aspect (every single one) the Shunyata was significantly better. I look forward to a comparison of Anaconda and Valhalla, but that's going to be a little ways down the road.
Hi all
I wanted to ask you Simon74 to what do you have your Anaconda Vx, King Cobra V2 and a Taipan Vx connected to?
Hi Moemoney,

I have shuffled the Shunyatas around a fair bit and had lots of other Shunyatas but the present set up is
Anaconda Vx -powering Hydra (original with slug)
King Cobra V2 - powering the Pass X-250
Taipan Vx - powering either Nu-Vista CD3 or Cayin SCD-50T
Mini Khan - swapping with above
PS Audio Statement - powering my Supratek Syrah

Strange set up but (IME) the Shunyatas sometimes work really well where least expected. I prefer the KC on my source but the Taipan Vx was funded by the sale of a Taipan Alpha which used to power my amp & it don't sound good on anything other than digital source.
Never really liked the old Taipans but the Alpha was a great cable and worked really well on the Pass and surprisingly well on cd player with an Active Synergistic Research on the amp. In fact it was a fabulous combo but the lust for more always prevails - sure most folk here know that feeling !
Cheers Si
OK, I'm interested in this thread.
I'm looking for a power cord for my Amp (Accuphase) and was
considering the Nordost Brahma.
Steve01s4 could you elaborate your comparison of the Vishnu against the Python Alpha, Thanks.
More opinions are welcome.
