Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...

From my experience with non-shunyata PC's wire gauge cannot be dismissed for the high voltage tasks like amps, projectors or powerconditioners.

That is why I was curious about the wiregauge on the zitron PC's. From what I gather from webdealers the gauge is identical between the CX and Zitron range on the Anaconda(7 gauge) and Python(9 gauge) models. That means the 1k$ price increase between CX and Zitron is not related wiregauge.

What is related is the active zitron technology which does not equal more current passed through the wire, but rather higher "definition" of current passing through the wire. Atleast that is my quasi-analysis of your findings.

So if the amp, projector or powerconditioner works best with a 7 gauge anaconda the addition of zitron technology which enhances definition on a 9 gauge python might not be enough to offset the difference in wire gauge between the anaconda(7) and a python(9).

This is why I think the positioning of a 9 gauge Zitron Python against a 7 gauge Anaconda CX is not fair because the wire gauge difference cannot be dismissed on amps, projectors and powerconditioners. I would think of Zitron as a 1k$ refinement of the corresponding CX model, ie. 7 gauge Anaconda CX + 1k$ refinement = 7 gauge Anaconda Zitron.

you had and liked Purist power cables before. Can you please share how purist power cords differ from shunyata CX or ztron. Pluses. minuses...Thank you.

Sorry, guys, meant to say "...i don't think the gauge..."

Hi, i still like the purist audio designs power cords, especially if you are not using a hydra vray 2 or a triton.

Honestly they are more similar than different (i've owned purist dominus ferox, fluid and 20th anniversary). On front end gear, especially digital, is where i made the switch...and i try and stick with one brand as much as i can.

It is likely a mistake that i haven't tried the newer purist power cords with the box in the middle...Especially an my amps...

I know it must be a synergy issue in my system since my Audience "e" cord connected to my MW Sony 5400 sounds more natural, produces a quieter and deeper soundstage than my Cobra's. Who would have thought based on this new technology.
