I won't repeat your post. I'll just say that I have a Primaluna Evo 400 pre and use Shunyata Sigma V2 xlr to my Classe amplifier. I have had the same wonderful experience you say you've had with the USB cable.
Happy Listening
Shunyata interconnect cables experience
Just a general question, does anyone have experience with Shunyata interconnect cables? RCA's. I am not talking power cables, but interconnects. I know their reputation in the power side of things.
Reason I am asking is I just received their Alpha USB cable for between my Innuos Zen mkIII and Chord Qutest and I am pretty darn impressed with what I am hearing. I am replacing a Cardas High speed USB cable (the one with the double run of cable). The Cardas is a nice cable, but this Shunyata Alpha is just stunning, now I know its about 3x the cost, but I just hear so much deeper into the music. It has such a black background. Its very detailed yet very refined, hard to explain, its just more natural and musical. I have Shunyata Venon power cables, the NR V10 and NR V12 so I was already familiar with their quality and reputation on the power side of things. This was my first experience with any type if component cable.
So it makes me curious if their interconnects provide the same type of results? I am running a pair of Cardas Clear Cygnus between my Qutest and Primaluna. The Cygnus is a nice cable but now I wonder after trying the Shunyata Alpha USB, what am I missing with the interconnects?

@swede58 How long did you have the Alpha V2 for audition? I've had the Alpha X interconnects for a few days. They sound good, but I’m going on the assumption that, like all Shunyata (and Nordost and Transparent) cables, they still need time to burn in to sound 'great.' |
@gbmcleod They were loaner cables from my dealer so I assumed they were fully broken in. Perhaps I was wrong |
@gbmcleod how many hours now? |
