Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2

I spoke to Grant Samuelson on these topics about the various versions. I happen to have two K/C V-1's on my trans/dac combo and completely love the sound. I tried a K/C V-2 from a friend of mine who has an analogue front end. I still much preferred the tonal balance of the K/C V-1's in my system, Mojaves on my S.S. mono amps, Cobra on my hybrid preamp and Python w/Hydra. Most of the time, it seems, the K/C V-1 would sound more desirable with solid state gear, where the K/C V-2 would be more at home with certain tube gear,....but not always, mixing and matching takes time and patience, these cables need a good amount of settling - in time (days, weeks) to achieve their goals.
