I am selling a pair of 1M, RCA Shunyata Python interconnect cables in excellent condition. 

I have been using these in my
main system for several months and have found them to be great-sounding cables. I decided to
convert to XLR connectors and so Python RCAs are going out and Python XLRs are
coming in. Otherwise I wouldn't be selling.

When they were introduced in 2012, the Pythons had the same key
Shunyata technologies that Shunyata's top of the line cables had (Anaconda). These included virtual tube geometry(VTX) and signal propagation distortion reduction (SPDR, a.k.a. “Zitron”). In 2017, Shunyata launched a new generation of cables (Delta,
Alpha, Sigma) with Sigma being the best and the most expensive.  In the new line-up, only Alpha and Sigma have both Zitron and VTX.If you want top-sounding interconnects that benefit from Shunyata's two key technologies, you can get them at fire sale prices in the Python line.. 

Here is a summary of the technical
features used in the Shunyata Pythons taken from a 2012 product description:

SPDR

Shunyata's Python Interconnects are the first product to
introduce the Signal Propagation Distortion Reduction (SPDR) technology. The
SPDR science dwarfs the performance impact of any other material, geometry or
design traditionally associated with the manufacture high-end signal cable
products.

Cohergenic Conductors

Shunyata uses a specially designed electromagnetic field to align the molecular
structure of their copper conductors. Applied during the extrusion process, the
result is greater coherency and superior conductivity.

Alpha Cryo Process

Shunyata Research cryogenically treats all wire and electrical contacts used in
the production of its signal cables. A state-of-the-art computer controlled
chamber is used to lower the temperature of the contents to -320 degrees
Fahrenheit. This exclusive process uses a proprietary combination of gases to
enhance the cryogenic treatment.

CDA-101 Copper

CDA-101 copper is the highest purity copper available, with signed
certifications to verify its authenticity and purity. Shunyata Research
exclusively uses CDA-101 copper for their electrical products, from signal
cables to power cords and power conditioners.

VTX Wire Geometry

Long known for ultra-complex wire geometries which measurably improve
conductivity and desirable characteristics, Shunyata has developed a new
geometry which greatly reduces the so-called “skin-effect”. Skin-effect is a
distortion caused by differing speeds of conductivity between the center of the
conductor (where the bass travels) and the outer part or skin of the conductor
where the midrange and treble travel. Skin-effect plagues both stranded and
solid core wire, causing smearing, timing and phase errors, in some cases even
changes in tonal balance. The ideal conductor is a hollow tube, but this is
wildly impractical in the real world, so using DTCD analysis, Shunyata created
a new type of wire geometry which is a “virtual tube” greatly reducing skin
effect and improving conductivity. 


If you are interested in reviewers’ comments, here is a short excerpt
from a review published by Renaissance audio:

The
gulf in performance between the Python and any other high-end cable is evident upon
evaluation. The reason for this is simple; Zitron technology confers dramatic
measurable improvement to the performance of each of Shunyata’s three Zitron
signal systems, including vanishingly low measured impedance and an almost
perfect square-wave response — unheard of in the world of signal cables.
