Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?

Currently breaking-in 3 Shunyata power cords, I swapped them with PS Audio AC-3 cords. I have heard different opinions concerning this cord and would like some feedback from other users of this cord or what they have learned about it. The price of the cords was $125 each, about the most I can afford.

I tried one between a Running Springs Haley and my Pio.Elite plasma and noticed no difference between the OEM cord and the Shunyata. However it may be good on audio, just didn't need one there so I never tried it.

If your looking for a cheap power cable try a diy DH Labs power plus cable with Wattgate connectors for less than $70. These cables work a lot better on video than audio...

Anyone have experience with this cable in their audio system?

Thanks!

I tryed the Diamondback; it's an OK power cord for the money. You might want to try the Emotiva power cord; I think it will surprise you.

I use Shunyata Diamondback cords on all my source components and preamp. I use a Shunyata Coppperhead cord on my power amp. With the Shunyata cords, there is no background noise and the music seems to flow better. I also use Shunyata Guardian's for power supply filtering. A great bang for the buck and much better than cords costing double and triple the price (in my system).
