hi-don't seem like this cable will make te grade.don't have any experience with this cable,but the black mamba and king cobra are amazing.sometimes companys that make high end products can't compete at lower levels and vice-versa.are you going to try this cable on the front end-you might get better results.when i tryed my first snake,i was looking for a cord for my preamp-tryed it there-was not impressed-put it on my cd player got blown away-then as i tried more down stream [with one still on cd player]the quaility of sound got better and better.something about clean power from the get-go makes all the difference.this cable might be letting you hear that mit power cable on the front end.don't get insulted ,just throwing a few ideas your way.
MY Sidewinder AC cord progress:
This is a demo from the Cable Company. They burned it in for 250 hours, and sent it to me. I plugged my Krell amp into it, and directly into the wall outlet. After a 24 hour settling time, I listened. Very bright, dynamically laid back, zero bass in the bottom two octaves, wide and shallow soundstage (that's a function of the brightness, IMHO). So far, not the best AC cord I've tried with my amp. MORE LATER....
