Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs


Hi, can anyone who has heard the various Shunyata power cords describe the differences (and the size of the differences) you heard between the Diamondback and the other Shunyata power cords? Are these differences variable depending on the type of equipment (amps vs preamps vs. CD players vs. electrostatic seakers, etc)?
Where is the "sweet spot" in terms of price performance in the Shunyata line? A specific question: how much difference in the low end (bass) do you hear between the various Shunyata PCs? Compared to the Diamondbacks, are there any other manufacturers with comparably priced PCs that you prefer (Silent Source, etc, etc.). How long is the break-in period for a PC? Thanks!

Very true about diminishing returns. Boils down to an addictive hobby to some (a very expensive addiction, once one clear's their head and realizes the money they spent...).
I'm suprised you found the difference between the Diamondback and the Taipan Helix to be so close, particularly on a source component, but good thats great considering the $ you save.

I've found that most cords and the differences they make are definitely source dependant. I recently bought an IMac 20 to replace my older Dell laptop and turns out the IMac is just as, if not more revealing of cord changes than my Benchmark DAC1. Makes sense since it's higher up the signal path I guess..
