Cardas vs Shunyata power cords question

I found that Cardas power cords in general a big disappointment and I have auditioned them all. I replaced several Golden Reference power cords for the same concerns that you have stated as well as they are not good value $$.

I currently use Shunyata cords in my main 2 channel system and Shuyatta and Harmonic Technology Fantasy AC10 power cords in my 2nd video/stereo system.

All giving me great results.

Shunyata makes great products.

I tried all the Shunyata power cords except the Anaconda. The best value to my ears was the Sidewinder Gold. But I recently came across a relatively unknown power cord company called DCCA. Since I've been a power cord "junkie" since the beginning, I decided to try out their entry-level $189.00 Extreme cord. After only 150 hours of break-in( it needs 300 hours) I am stunned at the tremendous dynamics, neutrality, soundstage, aliveness, etc. that this cord has provided on both tube and ss equipment. This cord does everything right, but the "dynamics" alone is worth the price of admission. This bargain power cord has soundly trounced very well-known brand power cords that cost $1000.00 and more in my systems. Watch out for this company. This Powerwave Extreme model is a real "sleeper" and IMHO is one of the all-time best bargains in audiophile power cords. The owner, Don, is a very nice man to deal with; very honest and helpful with terrific follow-up after the sale. Highly recommended. P.S. I can't comment on Cardas power cords as I've not had the opportunity to evaluate them.
