Shunyata powercords are much better.Try any powersnake out and you would never consider any other again. They are that good

The Shunyata's, like anything else, are system dependent. I bought two but my stock cords worked better so they were returned much to the dealer's amazement. I have found several other upgrade cords that do very well indeed so I'm not at all of the 'wire is wire' mentailty.
Yul I'd also be interested to hear from anyone who's made the Whale vs. Fatman comparison but as I just stated, what they hear at their house just isn't going to match your own experiences. I did buy a couple of the less expensive BMI Eel's but I'm not too impressed, while others here just love them. Go figure?

imo, I think your system will dictate which are better. I had 2 Shunyata vipers, and in my set up the Fim's or Kimber Palladians were head and shoulders better. I also like the Fatman 2000 quite a bit.

Sorry I can't comment on your direct question...but your mileage will vary on pc's...

I intended to use these power cords on my bridged monoblock power amplifiers, fully upgraded Counterpoint SA-100s with Silver Audio internal wiring. I am expecting more bass authority.

Preamplifier: Counterpoint SA-11 / 6SN7-GTY (CV181) tubes
Power Amplifier: upgraded Counterpoint SA-100 monoblock / Tung-Sol 6SN7-GTB Tubes
Speakers: Thiel CS 3.6 / Ensemble Megaflux speaker cable
AC conditioner: Chang Lightspeed 9600
Interconnect: Silver Audio Appassionata

I am open to all suggestion(s).

Thanks!
