I use an older generation Shunyata Python Helix 20 amp PC with my CJ 350; cords do make a difference but are really system and taste dependent. Three of us spent a good part of the afternoon trying different ones today on different components; a good way to go nuts.
Power cables for Conrad Johnson and Vandersteen
Running CJ 250S Power with ET5 Pre--into Vandersteen Quatros-currently running a Kimber Palladian PK10 of recent vinatage for pre, and it really does make a considerable difference--interconnects are Audioquest Niagras, and Speaker wiring is Audioquest Comets, double bi wired. The Palladian certainly seems to smooth things out a bit-
Now looking for suggestions for the CD player--and Power Amp--tried the Palladian with power amp, and it definitely sounded far better than either a stock cord, or the Cardas Golden Reference--(the GR doesn't seem to fit anywhere in this particular system)-however the Palladian might be overkill for the amp--not sure as I only have one. All commentary welcome, especially from those of you with similar geer--also, any thought on pre Palladian Pk power cords? Also have read up on Shunyata, but have not been able to find anything to trial---and unclear on some of the brightness issues with the new Python, etc.
