Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing


Hi All, I got bit by the Snake River Audio bug and took advantage of their Labor Day sale.  After talking with Jonny (nicest guy) I bought 2 of the signature hybrids and 1 of the cottonmouth power cables.  The unboxing was an experience and these cables are beautiful. The cables were shipped all kids of certificates and goodies from Idaho.  I can't wait to get these into the system and give you all my feedback.  If you're on the fence, just call Jonny and let him tell you about the cables first hand.

@fthompson251 When I first bought the PC's, I had decided to get one of the cottonmouth gold PC's in addition to the signature AMP PC's. The reason, cost for one, and two, after talking with Jonny, the Cottonmouth give a warmer presentation, while the Signature is kind of best of all worlds, warm (ish) and very detailed. I've since purchased additional signature PC's when SRA had a bunch on DEMO through their website. This was enough to change out all of my current PC's to SRA.  Once I had all of the PC's (mostly Signature and the one Cottonmouth), I A/B tested the cottonmouth on all of my source components. I found that, in my system, I much preferred the warmer sounding cottonmouth on my streamer, and the signatures on everything else. My system (Pass labs amp, Magico speakers) is very resolving, and the added warmth from that one cable really balances it out nicely.  Jonny has a very generous return policy, so if I had liked the cottonmouth on more than once component, her would have happily returned my signature and sent me a different PC.  I would read the descriptions on each of the PC types, he goes into good detail about what he recommend for SS or tube. Or, like me, I just gave him a call and chatted about what could work.  Either way, you won't be disappointed.

OP congrats to your new cables.Wig is correct. Milpai those who can’t hear the difference on cables and conditioners I respect them. Maybe they really don’t hear it.So they can save a lot of money. Me ? I love cables and power conditioner  rolling.

@bugredmachine I think at this level of quality, most people who are buying SRA have a pretty solid system and would be happy with even 10% improvement. However, I think trying to put a % on it is really difficult. When I replaced all of my Audioquest PC’s and speaker cable with the SRA stuff, I don’t know I would have said there was an X% improvement, I would describe it as a different sound. Wider and deeper soundstage, pin point vocals, deeper and more controlled bass. Not sure how to quantify that.

I too would love to know how much better the Takshakas would be, but they are outside of my budget. I am lucky to have caught some good sales at SRA and also pick up some demo cables, otherwise, I don’t think I would be able to switch our my system.

I too would love to hear peoples impression from anyone that traded in their Signature cables for the Takshakas
