Anyone Heard the new Powersnakes?

Ejlif, your experience is certainly different than mine: I am disappointed in the sound of the viper v2 AFTER 10 days of intensive break-in. I purchased it to go on my Resolution cd55 and my 'el cheapo' vansevers pandora cord sounds just as good, if not better on it. My tg audio 'a' cord sounds better on my 47labs amp. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has been disappointed in their shunyata, or if it's just me, which is entirely possible.

I was disappointed in two different Black Mambas that I tried, over two months.

The powersnakes can only be as good as the power supply in the component to which they are attached. The whole power cord thing to me is the final straw in diminishing returns relative to money spent. I believe in upgrading cords and cables, and thereby finetuning a system, but I don't believe in spending more than my least expensive audio component (or else why not just upgrade IT?).

Soupcon- I am surprised by your results with the Viper. I originally purchased a King Cobra for my Wadia player and I was so impressed with the sound that I ordered the Vipers for my amps. These power cords are easily the biggest improvments I have ever done to my system, and that includes major component upgrades. Did you try breaking them in on a high current device such as a power amp? Did you find the sound to be to bright or to laid back? I inquired with Caelin from Powersnakes before purchase and he advised only using the Viper with the finest equiptment, and that the Black Mamba would better suite lower class products with it's more laid back sound.
