SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE?

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.

The Black Mamba is a very good power cord but it's not in the same league as the Whale Elite. I am on my second Whale and use to have the Black Mamba. The Whale is a lot more robust in the bass and tight detail with smooth highs. The Whale is in parallel with the King Cobra and Fatman which I also own.

I agree with the Whale owners on the improvements. I have a 3ft Whale on my Sony SCD-1 player and a 5ft on my Levinson
preamp. Big improvements with bass tighness, detail accuracy and blackness in the background. Plan to get another one for may amp. Currently using the original Cobra on my amp which is good.

By the way I switched back to older Levinson gear #23.5 amp & #26 preamp and traded in the Krell. All I can say is that it's good to back to with Levinson gear.
