I thought the Gamma was sounding really good to you. And can you explain what a power cord on RCA cables means?

I borrowed a bunch of cables from the Cable Company and I've been rolling them. The Theta PC was too bright, preferred the Gamma PC. With Gamma's PC's in source and headphone amp, the Theta RCA's were just more resolving, lower noise floor than the Gamma RCA's.

Shunyata changed material from Gamma to Theta PC (copper to copper/silver), but kept the material the same in the RCA (OCC). I don't know what else they did in the RCA's, but it's really noticeable. I'll probably check out the Alpha RCA's next rental. I kind of want to be done with this, necessary evil.

I got some Shunyata RCA's used and found them way too smooth sounding. I preferred my much cheaper Audio Envy IC's. But those Shunyata models are now discontinued. I'm not sure how different the new models are, they have the same designs. but cables are like fairies God knows

AE is on my short list. They are the cheapest I've that use OCC. Cable Company didn't have them for audition. $150 for an RCA and $250 for a PC, I might take a flier on them. I just feel like I got burned on cables in the past, so trying to tread carefully. Smooth is definitely the Gamma line!

Only thing with AE is they tweak the design with each batch. The batch I bought a bunch of was much better than a previous batch. So it’s a bit of a gamble but they can sound very good at least. My favorite I’ve heard.
