Shunyata for Arc REF5 SE

I understand audio research and shunyata cabling are a good match. I have a Ref5SE coming my way shortly and was wondering whether to get a z-tron cobra or a pick up as used phyton cx. I'd like to keep it in the sub $1K pricerange, so anything up the foodchain is out of the question. Anyone tried these two cables on an audio research preamp?

Vhiner, if I can get a good deal on a Phyton Zitron I would consider upping the budget (story of my life). Would this cord combine the smoothness of the CX with speed of the Zitron?

While on the subject, I am using phyton CX on my PS audio P5 conditioners. I am thinking of moving these to my monoblocks and get Zitrons for my P5s. What level cable would you recommend? Note that the king cobra CX sells for 50% off at music direct. How does the king cobra stack up against the Zitron Phyton?

OK. I'll probably shoot for a Phyton Zitron funds permitting.

Thanks guys. Good input. I'll probably start by picking up one or more Zitron Pythons and try them in a few places. I was never really impressed with the Synergistic Resarch Hologram D on my DAC, so I may try a Shunyata cord there as well.
