If your Hydra serves front-end gear (preamp, digital, analog, but not amps), then the Zitron Python is a fine choice. More air, better articulation, dimensionality and more accurate tone colors from the Zitron. Depends on whether you're trying to use the cord to change the sound of your components, or if you want less distortion to hear the truth of what your components have to offer. Two different approaches. If the concern is more about the money there may be slightly less depreciation going forward on the discounted KC.
shunyata king cobra cx or ztron python
Looking for an upgrade for my hydra. Music direct has king cobra CX for 1995 same price as ztron python. So I'm going to leave it up to the audiogon community. I know, I know....what's the rest of the system. Well, I'm not going to share that at this point. I just really want to know which cord is preferred over all. Thanks for your help.
