20 amp cable for Shunyata hydra 8



How many people are using a shanyata cable for the 20 amp supply cord.

What are good options in the Price range of the Python Helix.

What type of sound differences do other cords make?

I replaced a Shunyata Copperhead with the Python Helix and the improvement was huge. Much more detail and bigger soundstage.

I would like to eventually replace all my PS Audio cables with the Pythons.

Hi, I have the Hidra6 with Purist Dominus amazing and really go for your budget I recommend the Purist Anniversary Aqueous20, I got it on my DAC and it is in PC, unbeatable value for money.

I just installed the Python Helix Alpha on Saturday afternoon. It replaced a Taipan Alpha PC which fed my Hydra 8. I have less than 50 hours on the cable so my opinions are of course premature. However, my early impressions are very positive. There is noticeably better definition across the musical spectrum; more natural instrumental textures/tones and lots more inner detail. Musical lines that were previously obscured are now clearly delineated. Additionally, instruments at the rear of the stage are more clearly defined. I await full break-in with great expectation.
I have had several hyrda's 2/4/6/8 and every single one of them has benefited dramatically from an upgrade of the input cable. I've tried PS audio cables (statement line and Wave) and while they are quite good, they simply don't compare to the Shunyata soundstage and microdynamics.
I have a Hydra 6. I A/B'd a 20A Python Helix (not CX) from my dealer with my existing VH Audio Flavor 4 terminated with Furutech FI-25R connectors. In my system and to my ears, I gave the Flavor 4 the edge. I tried this b/c of the number of "synergy" comments I have been reading regarding using Shunyata PCs with Shunyata PLCs.

VH Audio has a 30 day return option. I don't have any interest save to share my experinces.
