I will admit it . . . I am a Shunyata fanboy. I have all Shunyata Alpha v2 power cords, and they are fantastic. I also use Shunyata Sigma v1 speaker cables, a Sigma power cord for my Shunyata Everest. The Venom, while a decent power cable, is on the low end of the Shunyata line, and by moving up the ladder, you get more of the good things that the cable can do. Although most of my power cable upgrades (from other cables, not stock) were subtle but noticeable improvements, the improvement over stock on my ARC REF 6 was not subtle at all. And the most surprising improvement was putting in the Everest with the Sigma cable. It is odd to say it, but everything that I wanted in my system snapped into place, especially the depth of soundstage. It was a startling improvement and I recommend trying one, and moving up the Shunyata line.
Power cord upgrade
I want to upgrade power cords for my streamer, Aurender A15 which currently has a Shunyata v14 digital.
And Puritan 156 which has the classic cord it comes with.
I believe in system synergy, so I am leaning towards Transparent, and/or Audioquest.
I have ARC ref5se with the Transparent Reference, and ref75se with the AQ Hurricane.
Guess my thought is the streamer and 156 PC are maybe a bottleneck. Won't know without trying, right? I am satisfied with the over all sound now, so looking for more of it. Make any sense??
