AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra?

Thank you all. In a panic I did order a cheater adapter from Voodoo Cable. And, I do have a Audience chord (15A) I can try. I'm thinking of trying a Virtual Dynamics Nite I (15A) with the cheater...my first thought. I could sacrifice my...uhhh...wallet in the name of science and compare those combinations against a stock Shunyata. Are there any grants out there for such an experiment?

I own the 15A>20A adapter from Voodoo. I do like it however I noticed that it tends to color the sound. Be aware of that characteristic.

The cord from the wall to your Hydra will give you the most signature so choose carefully. The Shunyata Helix cords will set the soundstage back some or more middle row and the non-helix cords are more front row. At least that is what I experienced.

I second Larry's (Lak) statement. I also own two Voodoo 15A>20A adapters, and I find that they tend to 'smear' the sound a bit. Still a useful tool for judging cords, but once I found one that I like I would get the appropriate plug and not use the adapter for long term listening.

Cheers,
John

Lak & Jmcgrogan2, please explain more of how the Voodoo adaptor color's the sound. I just bought one as well. I read other reviews that is does not change the sound.

How would I know if it changes the sound if I dont have both version of the power cable in 15amp and 20amp to be able to make that conclusion?

Thanks in advance for your help.
