Garebear, I have both Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha and Purist Anniversary. I do not have a Synergy II, but I have tried them both on various components with differing results: on TEAC X-01 Limited I prefer the Anniversary. . . it has slightly more authority and an overall 'bolder' presentation. . . very slightly warmer than Anaconda; similar results it seems on Audio Research Ref 3; On JRDG Capri and JRDG 312 instead, the Purist is not of my liking. . . it yields a thickening of the sound and a tendency to have 'jangling' harmonics for lack of a better word. On Capri my favorite PC is Anaconda Helix Alpha instead. Having said this, Synergy II is an older product and does not use the same technologies of 312 and Capri. . . so results may be very different. Apologies for the 'non answer'. Guido
Purist Ann. Contego vs Shunyata Anac Alpha Helix
Anyone compared the sonic characteristics of these two power cords....it would be used on a Jeff Rowland Synergy IIi pre-map....I am familiar with the Pursit Domius PC and the Shunyata Anaconda Alpha / VX non helix cords....I am looking for speed, resolution, detail and with a touch of warmth.....I found the Domius a great cord but a little too dark and colored...ON MY SYSTEM. Thanks
