Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...

Guys,

I bought some of the first z-tron cables more than a year ago and now have Ztron cables throughout my system as well as the Triton conditioner. I can report that clearly audible changes occur during break in for these cables and that these changes are substantial. I have yet to meet or speak with a fellow owner who does not agree.

The technology is new and reminds me of how long it takes Teflon capacitors to truly open up. I know at least five other owners who concur that 400-500 hours is what it takes before the Ztron cables are at maximum performance level. This can be achieved much more quickly by using the Isotek or Purist burn in CDs.

Once the cables are completely burnt in, I would gladly put them up against any cable at any price. For those of you who
use a digital interconnect, the new Python Ztron cable is even more impressive. I'm about 100 hours away from full burn in and would be happy to report what I hear if anyone's interested.

Finally, I auditioned the Talos two weeks before the Triton and heard substantially more bass weight and micro detail from the Triton. That said, I think I would spend my money on more Ztron cables if I had to prioritize.

You are right Vhiner. I now have around 80H on them (no near 500H) but I'm already hearing clear improvements and much better performance from the cables than before. Bass has more impact and mid-range is opening up as well. It's now time to try Zitron Cobra AC power cords in my system. I will report my findings when both SP and AC cables are fully broken in.

Yes Vhiner I would be very interested in your opinion of the Python Ztron digital, as I've just ordered one. Also thinking of moving up from the V-Ray one, to the Triton if anyone has done that, please do tell.

I heard a far greater increment of improvement moving from V-Ray I & II to the Triton than Hydra to V-Ray or V-Ray I to II. Try to hear one with a Zitron Anaconda feeding it from the wall.

tmsorosk, The Triton is a very very nice improvement over my former v ray ll. Even cold out of the box I preferred it...from the first note...over the next few weeks just got better. You can really hear each instrument in its own place and so much more transparent...hearing front of stage and back of stage with more clarity.

It is not subtle.

I am still using a king cobra cx, looking forward to trying a zitron anaconda soon...(jtimothya, what cord were you using before the zitron? any comments here?)

Thanks
