Shunyata Diamondback PC with Wattgate connectors


Has anyone tried replacing the diamonback power cord generic connectors with Wattgate/Marinco I know that shunyata doesn't start using better connectors on anything less than the Copperhead. I have two Diamonbacks that I want to use on a PANAMAX MAX 5510-PRO conditioner and an OPPO BDP-93 Blu Ray. I'd appreciate your inputs and advise.

Cheers!

The original connectors are indeed very good - a much better fit than some marincos I've had on crystal cables.

However, the diamondbacks are very prone to oxidation especially the earlier ones and removing the moulded connectors isn't going to help matters. I have both diamondbacks with the old and new connectors and both cables have turned into a green snake. Zero resale value, I hope you're reading this Grant.
Shunyata power cables are great and so is their customer service.
I retired my diamondbacks a few years ago but they're still working great and after using crystal cables for a while I'm now using black mambas, anaconda and hydra 8. All shunyata system is the best.
