Hydra-what cords do you use to your components?


I'm curious what kind of power cords Hydra owners use from their Hydra's to their components? (not the hydra to the wall)

Does everyone tend to stick with Shunyata or go with other brands? And if so...what works for you?

Thanks

Sidewinders for amp, pre-amp, cd/dvd, and turntable. Just purchased a used Mamba for the DAC. Totally musical.
python on the hydra and i use all pythons too all my audio gear what ever has a power cord it was replaced with a python.Simply Amazing.
Absolute Power Cords ($49.95 each). Here’s the scoop. My system consists of a Cary 306/200 CD, VAC Preamp, Spectron Musician II amp, Silverline Lafolia speakers, Stealth PGS interconnects, Kimber Monacle XL speaker cable. I have a dedicated 20 amp line with a FIM wall outlet that the Hydra plugs in to. Before the APCs, I used a Black Mamba on the CD, BMI Whale on the pre, and a Audio Magic Sorcerer on the amp. I fell for the hype on the APCs and figured what do I have to lose, could I possible do better at a ridiculously cheap price? To make a long story short, I kept the APCs and sold the others. The final test was to put the Black Mamba back on the Cary and see what happens. I was amazed at how the sound changed. The BM added more bass but it sounded like a bass boost effect that to me, sounded unnatural. The highs also seemed to roll off. When I put the APC back on the Cary, the bass wasn’t as deep, but was tighter. The APCs also had more neutral mids, and highs that were more extended. This may sound crazy to some, and I know I can do better than the APCs, but the above mentioned cords didn’t do it in this system. To prove I believe in the value of good cables, I went the opposite cost direction on the interconnects. I sold my Cardas Golden Reference cables and replaced them with Stealth PGS which retail for more. The Stealths were far superior in everything!

Jtinn,
I would be intrested to know what you had the Taipan plugged into it. I found it to be alittle to bright on the Plinius SA-102's.
Pythons and Vipers. I used all Shunyata, including Python for the Hydra. Rich, musical and warm were the sonic benefits. I did substitute a NBS Statement in for the Python but preferred the Python.
