Same zero crystal pure copper, same guage wire, same father (Robert Lee) but HT costs $260 vs $350 for the AZ's on a 2M run. Does anybody have experience with both these power cords and are the AZ's worth the extra costs (sounds better)?
Audhpile1, sounds like you tried a lot of PC's. Which would be a better choice between the 2 powercords you mentioned? Audience or Shunyata Taipan? Nice rig you have, BTW
Are the Shunyata Taipan's copper, silver, or mixture of both? What about the plug ends IEC, (copper, silver, brass)? Are the Helix the newer versions? Thanks for the all the answers. Trying to find a good powercord for solid state amp McCormack DNA1 dlx.
Audphile1, I know the grass is always greener on the other side. Just wondering how the Pass Labs X250.5 compare to the MccCormack DNA-225 you used to have? Thanks
I ended up getting both the Shunyata Taipan Alpha and HT Pro AC 11 and compared it to my Custom Power Cord Model 11 and this is what I noticed. HT Pro AC 11 seemed to emphasize more middle and upper middle range. I felt low end was lacking, not as balanced or full range sounding compared to the other 2 power cords. Sound wasn't as detailed or quick either. This cable made me appreciate the Custom power cord I had as it was more detailed and neutral. Seemed to be more balanced between highs, mids, lows. The Shunyata was more detailed with faster transients, and smoother sounding with more delicate highs. Sounded more musical and puts me slighty closer to the soundstage. Definately a keeper. Thanks Audphile1 and others for your recommendations.
