Shunyata X series power cords
@crion that’s slightly difficult as I only have one cable each Furutech DPS/FI50NCF(R) and Shunyata Alpha-X NR. I compared both these cables solely on integrated amps, while Wireworld Silver Electra 7 and Acrolink Mexcel cords are used with the st...

@swede58 the IR remote board in the Diablo 300 is faulty. It takes time for the part to be ordered and shipped from Denmark.   
Shunyata X series power cords
@cknd_cnnl  @swede58  @rssb  Update. I finally had the opportunity to try the Shunyata Alpha-X NR in my system. Although the listening is only for two days, the experience has proven to be a revelation. The Alpha-X NR is currently one of the c... 
Japanese cable brands
I own 2 pairs of mains power cords and 2 pairs of interconnects from Acrolink. For the costlier Acrolink models, beware that there are fakes out there so it's wise to purchase from reputable sources.  Apart from Acrolink I also have some power co... 
Shunyata X series power cords
Just an update, the Shunyata Alpha-X NR has been confirmed. I should receive it by end of the month as the owner is away.   
Shunyata X series power cords
@swede58, I’m using Chord Sarum T speaker cables with the Diablo 300. I am not swapping speaker cables and interconnects anymore as I’ve spent too much money on the current cables which I own.  A dealer managed to source a mint pair of Shunyata A... 
Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable?
Thanks, I’ll investigate all options. Anyway I just checked the total cost of cables which I still own, all types of cables including spares. Actual price paid and not MSRP, it’s all recorded in an Excel sheet. I’m shocked,. It’s $22.4k.  I will ... 
Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable?
I appreciate all the responses. Good to know that the Diablo 333 benefits from a good power cord. AQ Dragon HC is >$10k MSRP and even used is above my budget, I think it's double the price of the Shunyata Sigma NR which is already rather costly... 
Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable?
Thanks @audphile1 useful to know. I’ll look at the Kimber PK10 Ascent power cord. Low price is surely useful and appealing to everyone. It’s just that most cheap is considered as not good, and it’s refreshing to know that some may deliver great re...

@rssb thanks. It's a one way ticket to the Alpha-X NR now.   
Shunyata X series power cords
Thanks @sdl4 very useful. I"m now looking at the Alpha-X NR.  I asked the dealer the same question and he told me the NR sounds better than XC.  I don't use any Shunyata power conditioners so it makes sense to go with the NR power cables.   
Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable?
audphile1, looking for better clarity and separation, a more open and larger 3-dimensional soundstage and perhaps a brighter and more dynamic sound.  It’s true, trial and error is the key. I have been swapping power cables between components, wal... 
Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable?
Thanks. May I ask which Shunyata mains power cable which you like? The Alpha-X is at the top of my budget as the Sigma-X and above are too much money. I am looking at a brighter and more open and dynamic sound but don’t want to lose the great bass... 
Harbeth SHL5 Plus XD UPGRADE
Look at Graham Audio. Most ex-Harbeth owners who tried the Grahams never looked back.   
Shunyata X series power cords
I'm not sure which is the most VFM cable in the Shunyata range ie. the best bang for the buck, the Theta, Alpha-X or Sigma X? My comfortable budget is at the Theta's level but I could stretch to the Alpha-X if required. Sigma-X is a bit too much f...
