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

So I am jealous on you getting to hear Brad Meldhau, I've always enjoyed his music...wish something was on vinyl or SACD. Really surprise a re-issue hasn't picked his music up...

Preburning cable I wish was a standard practice from all manufactures. It makes it nearly impossible to test a cable...

I am diggin the Anaconda zitrons AC cords. They have a clarity, transparency and dynamic presence the King Cobra CX does not have. I do think the King Cobra CX is more forgiving and a bit warmer on each note. Expect a few Anaconda CX's up for sale on Audiogon soon...I'll keep my King Cobra CX's for now...

For those of you who have Triton's, the Anaconda Zitron is pretty important addition. I currently have 3 more Anaconda zitrons, one on my phono stage and 2 on the amps. Rest are King Cobra CX'a
Jfrech,

I'm about 50 hours into my new Anaconda Zitron and I agree with your assessment. I wouldn't dump those KC's cause they may be preferable on some components. The bass weight on the Zitron is pretty stunning. How many hours do you have on yours?
Hi vhiner, I have about 4 days on a ac window unit (used in my dealers wine cellar), and about 2 weeks in my system. I've heard them warm up some and you're right, the bass impact and depth is a difference over the CX's (along with the transparency/clarity gains which are substantial)

Jfrech,

So far I really like the Zitron but you are right about it being a bit less forgiving and the CX's having a bit more warmth. Compared to the Anaconda CX, I favor the Zitron Anaconda. The KC's are a much tougher call. Those Anaconda CX's will be a great bargain because I think they're more balanced than the Cobra Zitrons.
