I am looking to upgrade my power cord for my Parasound HCA 2205at and was wondering if anyone has used either a Shunyata Venom 3 or a Pangea AC 9se, or both? Is there one that you prefered over the other? Thanks for your input.

    Check out the Wireworld Aurora, great bang for the buck PC.

    I have a Pythonj AC9 and the Venom, but not in a way to compare. I had the Venom 3 20 amp model for my amps, and it was apparent from the start they made an improvement. In fact, they worked so good I started to wonder what an even better cord could do, so I upgraded the Venom to Shunyata's Python CX. Much, much, better. The Venom gets good reviews from the press, and people who use it.

    Thanks Face and Blue. There is a local shop that carries both Wire World and Shunyata so I will see if I can audition both.

    I've tried a few different PC's in my rig but not had an effect on the soundstage like the WW Aurora.
