Synergitsic Research Elements or Shunyata Ztron?

"Numerous versions of there (their) power conditioners"? I've seen them come out with different lines (i.e. The Guardian line) of power conditioners, but Shunyata usually changes their line every 3 years, so i'm not sure what you mean by there being numerous versions. Didn't the Hydra only have 2 incarnations? And that was their only line conditioner for almost 3 years?
I have a Shunyata-cabled system: it sounds fine. What's interesting is that when I tried out the Synergistic Apex line (the interconnect and one power cord), I found myself preferring the Shunyata. The Synergistic has a bump in the bass, which warmed the sound up It was fine, but less see-through in my system.
But, we not dismiss system synergy. I'm going to try out a Talos shortly, after my Shunyata Cobra interconnect arrives.
I think people will have to try both. Nothing written on a page can surpass the actual experience of listening.

I use SR products exclusively throughout my 2 channel system. More specifically, I use element Tungsten interconnects and speaker cables, Hologram A & D power cables, the USB Active USB cable, and Powercell 4 SE. I must say that my system has never sounded better; however, I agree with the earlier poster in that you need to view the SR cables as part of a system to realize their full potential. On the other hand, the universal speaker and interconnect cells work well with any brand of cable and really seem to be a pretty good value. I have tried Shunyata cables previously and found them a tad dark for my tastes.

Does anyone know if the Black Mamba, Python and Anaconda ICs and speaker cables released before ZTrons are the same sonically?

So, I have to amend my previous post. I recently picked up a black mamba cx for my family room system and, before I knew it, I replaced all the power cables with shunyata products. In fact, I am doing the unthinkable and considering replacing my sr interconnects, albeit 6 years old, with shunyata. The newer products are a big improvement.
