Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine

I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a cable to connect to a $300 PS Audio UO. I would, as others recommended, get a R-1 Oyaide BUT also the WPC-Z outlet cover. It makes a huge difference than an R-1 only. Start there and listen w and w/o the UA connected. I found the Oyaide upstream made things better downstream. I think the UA will help still. It has filtering inside.

As indicated above, the outlet needs to be changed first but the Airsine is as good as the Python Helix imo.

I have had the UO for about 3 years because of protection and some filtering. I used it on the front end. Also it always seemed to get good reviews so I figured it offered protection and filtering for not alot of money.

I was using the Hydra on my amp only when I had it. A Taipan Alpha supplied it. It was a good cord but after time I felt like this combo did not sound natural. I plugged the amp directly to the wall and liked it better. The Hydra combo gave a certain tone to the music which grew tiresome over time. That is why I sold it. Maybe I should have tried another cord or better one? My amp is a VK-200.

I am also looking at getting a dedicated line. Any suggestions on what wire to use that is cost effective and performs well? And yes I will need an outlet like what is mentioned above or similiar. I am thinking maybe when I get the dedicated line then I will not need a conditioner. What do you think?
