A couple of weeks ago it was time for a minor upgrade - new power cable.
I have previously used Nordost Valhalla ( which was very fast but a little lightfooted in my system), and Transparent Audio PLMM2x with the PIMM2x (gave a better fundament and very stabile soundstage, but the music sounded a bit restrained, like something slowed the musical flow down)
Since I have used the Shunyata Anaconda speaker cable for the last 9 month and just love How it "completed" my system, It was quite a no-brainer to try Shunyata power cables as well.
I tried the PL-Z10, a not so thick cable designed with Devialet in mind - but even though it was a great cable, it was not the right cable in my system. But when I passed on to the Alpha HC things fell into place. It hade most of the things I was looking for - so I bought it and used it for a couple of months with great satisfaction. Then a friend came by and offered me to lend his Anaconda power cable.
This cable added some qualities I did not received from the Alpha HC - but it was not better over all. So there was no reason to exchange power cable to the Anaconda ( I have later tried the Anaconda in a couple of different applications and it is very equipment dependand on the result compared to the Alpha).
So it ended up with a Shunyata Sigma Digital. I have never experienced a longer run in time from a cable before - it took nearly 500h of playing music before it settled! Musically it satisfied everything I have been looking for and it brings all the good things from previous power cables without their flaws. But forget the lid of the amplifier - the connector is as big as ever!
