Shunyata Python versus copperhead for power amps

I am considering either a 20A python (perhaps the older alpha with the red ends) or a copperhead that will drive a Guardian 2 conditioner. I already have a python alpha that I use for hydra 8...all my digital grea is running off of it. So, the Guardian + new PC will just run my amp and a powered sub. Any thoughts? Would i see a serious difference between the two PCs? Should I hold out for a helix or would antoher python alpha (pre helix) do fine? Thanks for your two cents!

Not a direct answer to you question, but I had a Hydra and a system full of Python Helix's. I changed over to the new Synergistic Research Powercell and Tesla power cords. The performance upgrade was very substantial--really no comparision. I love the Shunyata stuff but the SR is simply better-by far and that's no knock on Shunyata. Also, the SR cords are cheaper than the Shunyata.

I am merely suggesting that you try the Tesla series before investing in an entire Shunyata system like I did. You will find detail, balance, 3-d soundstaging, etc. like you never dreamed.

I went from copperhead to Python on my amp and preamp. The Python is more dynamic and smoother than the Copperhead. I have Python Alpha and have not heard the helix.
