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

Si, I know this is way off the comparision you're asking for but... I am using new pcs from CryoParts and Locus Designs with outstanding results and for substaintually less money.
I have the origional Beast (from CryoParts) switched from the CD to the Integrated amp and now have the new Polestar (from Locus Designs) on the CD (The companies are brother & sister). The results are astounding!, very netural, fast and utterly dynamic. I will be posting a review for the new Polestar very soon and I have a review of the Beast posted already and yes, I will be drooling over both of these again
they are that good and I have tried others,thanks for letting me change from your origional question.
