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

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.

the copperhead is an great little cable.im using with an i3 and one 20amp to hydra 2.jalapenos is right that in conjuntion with hydra really ups the ante.i found the noise floor lowered,tighter bass,more dynamics,subtlties revealed.dealer told me to put better cable on cd player.therfore i had copper on cd player and diamondback on amp.shunyata said switch them.wow!showed me what a difference the copperhead made.great place to start...imho!
