Anyone Heard the new Powersnakes?

I understand there are replacements for the Blk Mamba, the Cobra, and a new King Cobra. The replacements are the Viper (for the Cobra), and the King Cobra v2. The Blk Mamba will retain the same name. Has anyone had a chance to hear these new ones and if so, what did you think?

I spoke with Powersnakes yesterday. They said that other than using their own plug now, the Black Mamba has not been upgraded. They had considered it, but the upgraded cord is actually the Viper.

Yes! I finally got 2 Vipers v2 for my Pass Monoblocks. I am thrilled with the sound right out of the box, and they are supposed to get better with break in. Email me if you want the number of a guy who can get you a great deal. ejlif@sunset.net

Ejlif, your experience is certainly different than mine: I am disappointed in the sound of the viper v2 AFTER 10 days of intensive break-in. I purchased it to go on my Resolution cd55 and my 'el cheapo' vansevers pandora cord sounds just as good, if not better on it. My tg audio 'a' cord sounds better on my 47labs amp. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has been disappointed in their shunyata, or if it's just me, which is entirely possible.
