Which Cord OVER Python For Original Hydra ?

Anyone have experience with other Shunyata cords for this ?
I considered: King Cobra V-1, Anaconda VX and Anaconda Alpha.
I realize they need to be outfitted with the nema twistlock, so this makes auditioning nearly impossible.
Any feedback from the field appreciated.

Hello Rx8Man,

I have the Ana-Alpha on my original Hydra and think that it helped the attack, timing and detail quite a bit over the original Hydra PC (sorry, I never did have a Python on it).

Based on some of my own experiments, the Alpha seems to help out the non-digital (or not-too-bright SS) equipment better than the Vx version of the cord. However, in my case, I did find that the Hydra itself seemed to provide a bit of dulling to my SS amp. As a result, I am now using an Ana-Alpha on my amp directly to the wall. However, the Ana-Alpha to the Hydra really seemed to help out my CDP and Pre-amp.

I hope this helps. Jerry

Anyone care to loan me (yeah, right !) an Anaconda Alpha and or Anaconda VX for my original Hydra so I can put this dilemma to rest ?
I'd be willing to pay shipping both ways and a lender fee !

I found the Elrod EPS-3 to be a huge improvement over the Python for the original Hydra. Good luck.
