Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing

At last!  A company, Snake River Audio, that can legitimately produce hifi cables whose performance can be likened to the miracles of snake oil.  Hopefully they included some herpetological lubricant with the other nice things in the box, or at least some holy water from the river from which the company takes its name.

In all seriousness, however, I had not heard of this company but will now take a look.  Custom cables manufacture in rural Idaho that win awards like Snake River Audio has is pretty impressive.

Sorry in advance @kdoerner but due to the natural progression of conversations as it were... 

If we don't have protection, many Hi-Fi's are going to be fried while we sleep.

All the more reason to consider adding a quality power device to your system.

I would be worried about the other expensive appliances in the house also. The best thing someone can do is surge protect the whole house first, then look at individual electrical components in the home. This is the level 2 house surge protector I have- I also use a Puritan conditioner at the stereo and (of course) don't have any level 3 Leviton protection outlets in my hifi room.

Congratulations on the power cords!  I'm currently using their Boomslang cable,  quite possibly the best digital cable I've had in my system.

Hey all. Unfortunately for me, I didn't discover Snake River Audio until early last year and I am so glad I did. Since then, I have outfitted most of my extensive rig with SRA cables (all of the main components are done). I can tell you that this man knows what he is doing! Jonny is top notch and he really cares about what he delivers. Everything is top notch, on every aspect.

One of the greatest attributes that I cannot stress enough about, is the wonderful tone of the instruments/voices that these cables deliver. My system has never sounded so good and since the introduction of Snake River Audio cables, my enjoyment level has risen in spades. I went from listening to the music to experiencing it. Listening sessions have greatly increased in aural pleasure and length of time spent sitting in the sweet spot.

Snake River Audio has a new lineup that will be coming out soon that I have been lucky enough to have had in my system for about a month. Wallets will definitely be opening up worldwide, once you hear those bad boys. I know mine happily will, once they are available to the public.

No affiliation. Just a VERY satisfied customer who really appreciates a fine, quality product. They are definitely musical art to these ears and they really draw you into the performance before you. Never had any cables do that before.

I have SRA SC's, IC's and PC's throughout my system. Even some custom cables he made specifically for my rig. This includes the Cottonmouth, Signature, Mamushi and Boomslang Series cables. No regrets on any of them. Only wonderful and extremely musical bliss.

What were your previous cables? 

Hello, @mclinnguy.

Lots. Shunyata, Signal, AQ, Nerve Audio, Transparent References used to be in the main/core spots, PS Audio, custom made cables, 6 sons Audio, Dueland, DH Labs, Analysis Plus, MIT and many others that I can't remember off the top of my head.

I've been doing this for a while now, so please forgive my not remembering everything that has come and gone over the years.
