King Cobra is a new name of Python (that had great reviews). To stay competitive AQ moved production to China, reduced prices and renamed cables. Python became King Cobra, Viper - Diamondback etc. I replaced King Cobra with much more expensive Acoustic Zen Absolute and there is not that much of a difference. Both have neutral sound, AZ being a little bit more refined (cleaner, darker background, faster). For the money King Cobra is a steal.
