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

Hi all
I wanted to ask you Simon74 to what do you have your Anaconda Vx, King Cobra V2 and a Taipan Vx connected to?
Well I have the Shunyata Anaconda Alpha coming from the wall to my Hydra 4
one Anaconda Vx going from my transport to the Hydra
one Taipan Alpha from the pre-amp to the Hydra.
And one Taipan Vx from the Hydra to my DAC.
And I just purchase a Nordost Valhalla Power cord for my Amp. About three weeks ago.

I found that placing the Anaconda Vx on the amp degraded the sound of my system Making it sound somewhat grainy.

I just purchased the Valhalla cord for the amp, but being that my listing room is under construction and has been for about 2 months it will be some time before a can give you my opinion on its sound.
