Shunyata X series power cords

@ryder What was wrong with your D300? Looking forward to hear how the Alpha X  sounds on the Diablo.

@swede58 I just received the Diablo 300 but will need some time to compare the Alpha-X NR and Furuteh DPS4.1/FI-50 NCF(R). I’ll report back in due time perhaps by end of the week. I briefly swapped the mains power cables and music sounds less open and dynamic with the Alpha-X NR but that may be inaccurate since I just listened for about two hours comparing the cords. I hope The Alpha-X NR will sound better than the Furutech DPS4.1/FI-50 NCF(R) on the Gryphon Diablo 300 but if it's the other way round, I guess the NR version doesn't suit the high current Diablo 300. With the Luxman L-590AXII I can conclude that the Alpha-X NR sounds noticeably better than the Furutech, direct connection from the wall outlet to the amp.

Some users report that the v2/X-series can sound a bit lean, and I experienced this firsthand with a v2 XLR interconnect. I am currently interested in the Alpha-X speaker cables, but only if they don’t suffer from the same slightly thin lower register as the v2 XLR I auditioned. Has anyone here tried the Alpha-X speaker cables, and how would you describe their bass performance compared to the v2 generation?

I have a Denali 6000S V2 in a very revealing system (Mola Mola Makua with Tambaqui, Audionet Max amps, Dynaudio Confidence 20's).  When I first bought the Denali, I paired it with a Shunyata  Omega V2 20a power cable.  My other cables were all Kubala Sosna Elation.  After many back and forths, I clearly preferred a K-S Elation 20 a on the Denali as well.  The K-S Elation was more full spectrum, even across the range with less etching in the highs.  At first the Shunyata was impressive, but after long sessions I found it bright, lean and more 'hifi' sounding.

Recently, I had the opportunity to try a new Sigma X  20 amp PC on the Denali.  Again, initial impressions are a wake up for your ears.  Dark, black background,  extended, very resolving.  But again, after longer sessions, I returned to the full natural sound of the Kubala Sosna line.  I have since upgraded to the Kubala Realization series in this system, and it is again a big step up.  My main system received the Ovation loom, and oh my what an improvement again.
