Keep in mind that the original Shunyata power cords, King Cobra V1s, had a power to them not equalled since. On amps, they could make a system's dynamic range jump like a runner out of his block when the gun fires. What they lack in resolution, they made up for in dynamics. That stardust brought Black backgrounds that even Zi-Trons would have trouble reproducing. Don't underestimate them simply because they were not crystal clear. They were exceedingly "real" - sounding. They were musically mesmerizing. And the holographic effect was resoundingly superior to the CX cuties.
