  Taipan Helix Alpha/VX PowerSnakes
  Shunyata > Power Cables

PowerSnakes Taipan Helix Alpha and Helix vX models introduce Shunyata Research's hand braided, patented Helix Geometry to a price point normally associated with simple spool-wire designs and cheap connectors. In keeping with its reputation, Shunyata Research once again brings the cost of State Of The Art power-system performance down to earth.

The Taipan Helix Alpha is ideal for any and all audio-video system electronics, while the vX model that contains the FeSi 1000 compounds is a highly specialized power cord that should only be considered for digital sources such as Digital Transports and some CD players.
