Power Cord Flavors

The Shunyata Taipan is an excellent choice for power cable. It really brought the detail and dynamics out. Compared to what I had previously tried with a Michael Wolff Silver Carbon power cord which was dull and smeared the midrange.

The Taipan had controlled and smooth full bass. While the Wolff cord was thinned bass and uneventful.

Good job on the Taipan desgn.

IMO, the main sonic differences between power cables are due to gauge and length. Too heavy of a gauge will darken the sound un-naturally, while too light will bring out detail, in much the same way a dynamic range compressor pushes detail forward, at the expense of 'punch'.
In my experience so far, comparing PC's of different gauges and lengths is very enlightening. After you've established what gauge/length a certain componenet 'wants', then you can fine-tune by trying different wire compositions/strandings/geometry/terminations etc, etc, etc.
You'd be amazed how many times a cheaper cable of optimum gauge and length will blow away the more expensive competition.
As always, JMO.

From the short list of cables I have tried :

Full bodied and warm :
HARMONIC PRO AC11

Neutral and extended :
Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler

Full bodied and warm:
Shunyata Python (original), organic, musical sound with midrange bloom,
PS Audio Lab cable (original), but it is also slowing down the rhytmic pace of the music
HT Fantasy AC10 - One I liked this cable, but I was very happy to get rid of it. Too dull.

Neutral and extended:
Nordost Valhalla,
NBS Signiture II,
Elrod EPS-3
Nordost Shiva and Vishnu (both brigthens the sound with a lot of detail at the expense of bass extension)
Siltech SPX-30,G5, lesser extent the SPX 20-G3 (which has a greyish tone compared to the spx-30, G5 model)similar effect like the above mentioned cheaper Nordost cables, but a more neutral way.

From the short list of cables I have tried :

Very good full bodied and warm :
EG Fatman

Very good Neutral and extended :
Synergistic Research Reference

The Bottom very disappointing power cords which did not perform well:

Michael Wolff Silver Carbon
Very bright and thin sounding especially in midrange.

Absolute power cord
Not that dynamic.
