Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?

Hi there,
my post re the Thor Vs. Hydra has died a death.
Hence anyone compared the mains cables ?
I know some people firmly entrenched in either camp, a few enlightened individuals who mix & match but no one unbiased to outline the differnces.
I have been a long time Shunyata user (very happily) but the new cyberlinks are revealing a lack of pace and a darkness I'd like to address.
Really enjoyed some things some Electraglides brought to the equation (with judicious matching) but a) they have no ground and b)the connectors are sad & will not grip - if they don't grip, they are not likely to pass current and won't work to best advantage (imo).
Given Nordosts undoubted build quality, I'm wondering if they could be the answer. I don't like their i/c's or speaker cables but could use some of their pace & space, if held in check by the Shunyatas.
Cheers Si

I've tried a few Shunyata Power Cables and have found them to be competent, yet pricey. Shunyata's Taipan Alpha barely outperform DH Lab's Power Plus AC cable on both a Bryston 3BSST amp and a Sony DVP NS999ES SACD/DVD player...yet cost many times more. And while the Python VX are an excellent cable, I have found that the Nordost Shiva will produce a greater dynamic range and coherence on the SACD/DVD player. Next month, I'll compare the Nordost Vishnu against the Python Alpha on my Bryston amp and Classe pre-amp.

I'd love to read more about Shunyata and Nordost comparisons.

Cheers!
