Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...


Hi, I have a few Shunyata CX powercords (anaconda cx and king cobra cx). Has anyone done a detailed comparison? What are your thoughts as to the differences?

I did just replace my Hydra vray II with a Hydra Triton, and that was a nice improvement, in clarity, naturalness, ease and dynamics. It was one of those upgrades that once it goes in...wasn't even worth going back to compare...

Thanks in advance

Jfrech,

I'm about 50 hours into my new Anaconda Zitron and I agree with your assessment. I wouldn't dump those KC's cause they may be preferable on some components. The bass weight on the Zitron is pretty stunning. How many hours do you have on yours?
Hi vhiner, I have about 4 days on a ac window unit (used in my dealers wine cellar), and about 2 weeks in my system. I've heard them warm up some and you're right, the bass impact and depth is a difference over the CX's (along with the transparency/clarity gains which are substantial)

Jfrech,

So far I really like the Zitron but you are right about it being a bit less forgiving and the CX's having a bit more warmth. Compared to the Anaconda CX, I favor the Zitron Anaconda. The KC's are a much tougher call. Those Anaconda CX's will be a great bargain because I think they're more balanced than the Cobra Zitrons.
Guys,

Glad the Zitrons are working out for you. I'm really not finding any improvements in my system other than a tad more transparency but that may be related to the cables
sounding quite thin in my system and weak bass.

I have over 350 hours on the IC and feel pin-point imaging and soundstaging is compromised by capturing more ambiance or hall effects. They are nice cables but don't sound real in my system. The 270ish hour mark showed the biggest improvement with a more fuller sound but no where near the refinement of Clarity Cables, which places the performers in your living space.
