Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
@tee_dee I am not a cable designer nor do I have a background in electromagnetics (is that a word, lol).  However, I had always though the cores were in place to prevent extreme lows and highs that are well above and below your audio systems capab...

@fthompson251 Its kind of hard to say. When I upgraded, I first put on the Amp PC and heard an immediate impact, then added the signature to the Streamer. Listened to that a while, then switched to the Cottonmouth and preferred that sound. I didn'...

@lak That would be awesome, I was hoping he was going to run a Black Friday sale but didn’t see anything. Itching for some more cables, lol.

@fthompson251 I have the Signature amp PC on my Pass labs and wound up switching the Signature PC on my DAC/Streamer to the Cottonmouth. My system tends to lean neutral, added the Cottonmouth gave me a great balance and added a bit more warmth. I ...

As most have said, cables are going to be different in everyone's system. Nordost good stuff really does start at the Heimdall and above. Audioquest PC start at Thunder and above. For my system, I had Nordost Red dawn and Blue Heaven for all of m...

@westcoastaudiophile I identified "upgrade" based on sound. I have a set of songs I A/B test between the cables after they are broken in. Over the original Pass Labs PC, The Nordost added greater detail in the sound. Bass was a tighter and highs w...

@westcoastaudiophile sorry if I misunderstood your question. Yes, I can absolutely tell the difference within each of the upgrades with my current system. I would say not so much with my original McIntosh system with the Zu Audio speakers. That sy...

@westcoastaudiophile I listed the last run of cables just on my Pass Labs Int-60 near the start of the post.  I started with the Pangea cables on my original McIntosh amp some years ago now. I upgraded that to all Zu Audio cables (power, RCA's, sp...

I'm in love with the sound.  I've been moving the cables between component and finally settled into what sounds good to me.  I too have had many brands of power cables. Pangea, Zu Audio, Nordost, Audioquest. These are by far the most dynamic and h... 
Power cord upgrade
I originally had Nordost Red Dawn on my streamer then upgraded to the Tornado source cable. I just upgraded from that to a Snake River Audio cables. I bought 2 different ones. One is the Signature which is a hybrid of 24K gold and silver. The othe...

This is getting off topic, Again. Please, lets leave the opinions to another (other) thread.  I've started the break-in and will add a thread in the future about my impressions of these beautify cables.  We can debate in that one, lol. A big shou...

@vthokie83 appreciate you.  I completely agree, is a cable that is half the value of the streamer really going to make a difference? Not sure. I'm a strong believer in system synergy. When I first upgraded my streamer to a Nordost Blue Heaven PC,...

You're also kidding yourself if you don't think those reviewers get paid. Steve Huff pushed a $20 amazon speaker cable. Its sales went up 1000%. I even bought a pair.. Did it sounds the same as my Zu Mission cables? YES. Did it sound as good as my... 
Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
@lordrootman you are proving the point. 2 different cables, 2 totally different sounds. So how can anyone say cables don't matter?  Just because, to their ear's, they preferred one over the other, how is that wrong? At the end of the day, there wa...
