Hi Music 35
Changind from python to anaconda may not produce the anticipated difference. Changing to Stealth, NBS Black Label, Purist 20th anniv, EPS Sig2, or Statement may do more for the same amount of money.
Do not view this as suggestion, more as encouragement to experiment and experience.

Alex, have you used the Shunyata cords described?

Here is a direct answer. If you can afford it yes it is absolutely worth it. The Anaconda will in a word be more effortless. The added depth, dimension , and power will be noticable. I too have BAT gear (all tube) and noticed what I described. Certainly the jump from the Taipan to Python is greater but in the end the Anaconda jump is worth it.

I find in general the Shunyata cords to be the most natural sounding and coherent of all I have tried. In addition the Helix cords are most flexible.

This is all taste, I guess. Anaconda was at my place for audition, but I found the PC's I mentioned more pleasure to my ears.
The NBS Black Label was at my place for some time. Kharma Ref cord is still at my place, but it is not close. Purist Dominus is the much better cord than Kharma. This one, Black Label, and Stealth Dream Pre, which I just bought were the most beautifull sounding in my set up.
There are many more I did not tried.
My point here is that if you want the upgrade with Python, subtle improvement with Anaconda will change very little.
