Shunyata " Copperhead " ........user's feedback


Anyone use the Copperhead and what did you think . I generally worry that companies put there best in their top of the line product ( MONEY IS NO OBJECT ) and then there lower product is just riding on there name . Any feedback appreciated , thank you.....

Should mention im looking at one for my Krell 400xi. The copperhead is suppose to be built for current hungry applicatios such as amps , where the diamondback is more line level such as cd players , pre amps and so on. So i figured the copperhead would be a great match for my Krell 400xi , later i will go after the diamond back for my CD player and DVD player ( both Krell ). Thanks
I used to have a pair of copperheads, a pair of diamondbacks, still have a Shunyata Python and Tiapan VX. My favorite power cord however is the Audience powerchord. I prefer it over the shunyata, it is a little more than the copperhead but well worth it. I do think that the copperhead is nice, a very nice step up from stock. I think that the Audience is exceptional. Give it a look as well.
You are certainly correct in your thinking -- a diamondback is a great low cost match for source components. The copperhead is a good start for your integrated, but consider the Taipan too. The new Helix series Taipan provides big dynamics, and really cleans the bass/midbass band up helping with any hump you might have there. Also, consider purchasing one of Shunyatas power conditioners -- the effect of their power cables is truly apparent once you have a Hydra in your system too. It really depends on how much you want to squeeze out of your system & how much you're willing to spend to get there...
Go with the Taipan Alpha instead. Better overall, although the copperhead is not a bad cable, it'll make you curious how the Taipan sounds.
