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.
