There is a Shunyata Research Viper Ztron on Audiogon for $375 that would work well. I have a Siltech, an Audioquest, a Voodoo in use besides the Shunyata.

at Nostromo,


for the power ampli Shunyata Alpha HC -> same to the wall (you use a Shunyata Hydra AV or Talos?

Other? Ansuz D8 -> to the wall A or is the budget enough one C version.
from D8 to the Xa160.5 power cables A.

For the pre Xp30 and the Source try the Ansuz A version.


greetings Omar

Over the years I have tried and loved quite a few cables. The Synergistic Research Active cables are head and shoulders above all previous cables. Also I have my Krell 400 monos plugged into a SR power cell MK 3 with very good results. one of the very few conditioners that is not current limited.

I used Audience AU-24SE power cords with my Pass XA-100.5 and XA-100.8 when I had them. These are superb sounding cables and just step out of the way, producing a detailed, dynamic and organic sound. I tried another reference power cord and it was all I could hear. I love the Audience's ease, expensive but worth it in my opinion.
