Same observations (although I've only upgraded my power amp with Shunyata Venom 3). But for only $99, it was a staggering improvement. You're right -- most notably, the sound became more liquid.

Now I'm wondering if I should replace my Nordost power cable on my pre-amp with Shunyata? Would that make any audible difference? (Nordost appears to give vigorous, dynamic, highly resolving sound, but lacks warmth and liquidity of Shunyata)

Also, I'm using a linear PSU to power my SB Touch -- would replacing its stock power cable with Shunyata improve the sound? I'm thinking if the answer to both questions is yes, I stand to make substantial improvements for only a couple of hundred of bucks.

I also agree that of all the audio accessories upgrades, power cables seem to bring most noticeable improvements.
