Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...


Hi, I have a few Shunyata CX powercords (anaconda cx and king cobra cx). Has anyone done a detailed comparison? What are your thoughts as to the differences?

I did just replace my Hydra vray II with a Hydra Triton, and that was a nice improvement, in clarity, naturalness, ease and dynamics. It was one of those upgrades that once it goes in...wasn't even worth going back to compare...

Thanks in advance

tmsorosk, The Triton is a very very nice improvement over my former v ray ll. Even cold out of the box I preferred it...from the first note...over the next few weeks just got better. You can really hear each instrument in its own place and so much more transparent...hearing front of stage and back of stage with more clarity.

It is not subtle.

I am still using a king cobra cx, looking forward to trying a zitron anaconda soon...(jtimothya, what cord were you using before the zitron? any comments here?)

Thanks
Hi Jfrech - a change for the better was immediately obvious - positively zitronic! Prev wall-to-distributor was the KC cx.
Is it the same kind of change as the vray ii to triton? lower noise, more clarity? If so...that's a big deal...
Jfrech,

I have heard the Anaconda Zitron is a monumental leap from the King Cobra CX. I've had the King Cobra CX in my system and it's hard to fathom how it could be that much better. I'll be eager to hear what you experience.

Guy1,

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you're going to hear some downright lousy phases as your Zitron speaker cables break in. They tease you with what they can do for the first 150 hours and then, as Grant at Shunyata has confirmed for me, they "collapse" for about 100 hours or so. Then they slowly rise from the ashes and finally exceed anything you've heard so far...right at about 500 hours they just blast off. If I were reading this, I'd be skeptical but I feel compelled to share the warning. The good news is that some people won't be patient and will flip these cables too soon. Keep your eyes out for some deals. You won't be sorry if you buy some at used prices. They're already a bargain considering what they do.

I still have a couple of days to go with the Python digital and will post impressions then. Break in's a bitch.
Jfrech: >>Is it the same kind of change as the vray ii to triton? lower noise, more clarity? <<

Yes, exactly. Not a difference in kind but in quality.

And a pretty impressive tease it is.
