I bought an orignal and loved it. I upgraded to the signature, and was blown away. The signature does "more" of the same thing the original does - but at an amazing level. I own the latest Shunyata CX series cords, and have found them to sound best attached to my power conditioner and power amps. The LessLoss cables sound best on my preamp (not tube) and sources. It is a truly amazing experience to hear the signatures in action. I do believe however, you need a minimum of two to really open the system up, and see what happens. At the very minimum, one on your preamp, and one on the source you are using. They are expensive to me, so I have one designated as my "source cable", and move it around between them. THe one on thje preamp obviously stays. If you like the Original's characteristics at all, you absolutely must upgrade it to the Signature, it is remarkable. I was a Shunyta fanboy before I got the signature LessLoss - now I love them both :0
