The Pythons were pretty good. In fact I only changed them out because I just happened to borrow the Emotions and to me they helped the amps do harmonics better. By comparison the Pythons felt a bit stripped. Again I was happy but got to try the Elations and the VSAs. These added articulation to the Emotion's harmonics and seemed quieter as well.

I run straight into the wall as Lamm recommends and the ferrite and other powders in the VSA cables made them quieter than the Elations albeit tonally, I think they are dead ringers. My quibble with the VSA's is that they are heavy and stiff. Fortunately I have the space to let them run without too many bends otherwise I could have gone with the more pliant elations.

I haven't heard or tried the Zitron line. I think I will stop borrowing cables now. I already like the sound I'm getting. It's not that I don't think it can be improved upon, it's just that, man, this stuff is expensive!
Thanks for your input. I understand ur unwillingness to audition any other power cords. It can become an expensive proposition. I'm hoping to audition Transparent power cords with my amps. I recently replaced my Analysis Plus cables with Transparent Ref. MM1 cables all around. The remaining AP cables are the power cords. I can't wait to upgrade. If the current performance of my Transparent cables is any indication, the power cords should be awesome performers.
