Synergitsic Research Elements or Shunyata Ztron?

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.
