SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE?

Has anyone compared the EEL to the Whale? Other than Brulee and Lak I do not recall any references to the EEL. Does the Whale eat the EEL alive or do they have similar traits? I am also interested in the Whale but would not be able to swing 3 or 4 of them budget wise. Has anyone used the two in combination? Right now I incorperate cords and cables from six different manufacturer's in my simple system and would like try more of a theme in the future. I have the IC's pretty much figured out (Mapleshade) but am having difficulties with PC's in my price range. Hope this isn't too far off the thread's intent.

"incorporate"

That's good news. I had figured that I would have to hang them from ribbons, though I probably will need some sort of support for the one going to the little Bel Canto DAC. I am mailing my order for two of the Whales today.

Hi Jay: Part of my system (the Audion Silver Night 300B) is at the shop, so I am breaking one of the cords in on the computer and the other on my DAC which is the only piece of gear that I could easily fit the cord to with my current setup (soon be relocated to more spacious surroundings - a closet). I auditioned both of the cords (out of the box) on my DAC and player for approx. one hour and experienced a fuller and more 3D sound right off the bat (this was with my Musical Fidelity X-A1 powering the system). I had to remove the cord from the player though because I could not fit the player into my cabinet due to requiring more space for the PC in the back. Even with only one now installed in this system, the bass response and the depth, or roundness, of instruments has increased for the good. When I get the system back together, relocated and the PC's run in I will post an update. My first impression was very positive.
