shunyata king cobra cx or ztron python

The K.C. is a bit softer and smoother, the Zitron is more detailed. So no real winner, and the preference is yours. I'm not going to share more than that.

I might add here that he King Cobra CX is more comparable to the Anaconda zitron than the python zitron. In this context i'd agree with tmsorosk.

I do have both in my system currently.

Which hyrda do you own? I also went from a Hydra Vray 2 to a Hydra Triton. That's a big deal. Depending on what cord you are currently using...might be a consideration to swap conditioners..

Not really comparable price wise, that's what I'm looking at. I currently use the hydra 8 v2 and have no plans to upgrade the conditioner.

Umm.. Upgrading your Hydra 8 MKII to Triton is a major leap forward in soundquality. Lack of distorsion, more natural presentation, much better highs. Ofcourse you can go for a powercable but really everyone who tasted Triton or Cyclops would surely agree...
