| shunyata king cobra cx or ztron python If your Hydra serves front-end gear (preamp, digital, analog, but not amps), then the Zitron Python is a fine choice. More air, better articulation, dimensionality and more accurate tone colors from the Zitron. Depends on whether you're trying to ... | |

| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Hi Jfrech - a change for the better was immediately obvious - positively zitronic! Prev wall-to-distributor was the KC cx. | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... >>Also thinking of moving up from the V-Ray one, to the Triton if anyone has done that, please do tell.<<I heard a far greater increment of improvement moving from V-Ray I & II to the Triton than Hydra to V-Ray or V-Ray I to II. Tr... | |
| Audioquest blue cable? The following is from memory so corrections are invited: In the mid 1980s Audioquest sold cables of copper wire named 'Blue' which had a dark blue slightly rubbery textured sheath. I believe there were at least three generations, the later being n... | |
| Chained Shunyata Triton w/Vray 2 Experimenting is part of the fun of our hobby and we each get to have our gear however it sounds best to us. I'm with Jfrech here - the Triton is less current limiting than the VRay; no reason to lose that. The Triton is not just a bigger VRay - l... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... >>I am using some pricey transparent ref so only fair to compare to the Anaconda zitron..<<If you have the opportunity, compare it to the Cobra first. You might be surprised. | |

| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! Nice to read your update on the SME+SOTA combo. As another data point, I used a Sonata on a SOTA Sapphire + Sumiko MMT arm for a year with no problems, hum or otherwise. | |
| Cable help for my AtmaSphere S-30 OTL Amp - Please I suppose I could have addressed the cable question - d'ya think? (f/x: head smacking). Assuming a true balanced preamp with balanced outputs, an inexpensive option is Mogami 2534 cabling with XLR connectors between pre and S-30. There are lot's o... | |
| Cable help for my AtmaSphere S-30 OTL Amp - Please Rest assured that transistors are the last thing an Atma-Sphere amp will sound like.
