Firstly, I hope everyone has a prosperous & Happy New Year.
I have few extra Shunyata power cords that I've bought & kept over the years. I did a little experiment on the Luxman D-03X player that I use as a transport; I use an Audio Research DAC 9 with 6H30p DR bottles. I've always had a JPS Kaptovator PC (power cord) connected to my D-03X. I then swapped that PC for a AQ Hurricane and voila, smoother sound! I then tried a Shunyata Python CX PC, and it became better. Okay... In goes an Anaconda Zitron PC, and low and behold, better again. I figured I'd need my head examined if I sought out a Sigma V2 NR or crazier Omega QR PC, which would be in the $5K neighborhood. Nope, not gonna do that....
