Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine

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?

I had a Python Helix and sold it. I liked it but overall it pushed the soundstage back too far for my tastes. Another friend of mine said the same thing about it. I didn't know how the Python Alpha would compare?

I am going to add a dedicated line in the near future and run the amp to it. I am running the amp straight to the wall now. The UO is running the front end and it seems that alot of you here don't think to favorably of it. Would a power conditioner like a Audio Magic work well on the front end or please give me some suggestions. I want passive not active.
