| Best Shunyata Power Cord for.,, The Sigma NR is quite a jump up from the Sigma Analogue, in my experience. There is more "there" there. Even with modest electronics, the dynamic "jump" on an NAD C325BEE is surprising, never mind ASL Hurricanes. | |
| Shunyata CX cables People like the "coloration" that the CX generation provided. I didn't notice the coloration (manifested as warmth over the entire frequency spectrum), until I got ZiTron cables. I actually re-purchased a CX to see how it sounded after I acclimat... | |
| Need quick Shunyata answer Yes. Although Shunyata had a previous generation, called the "Alpha" (ZiTron) cables, the Alpha HC is a newer ZiTron generation. | |
| FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard I have used an FIM 880 for many years. I also have the Furutech NCF and Prior Furutech generation, Furutech GTD Rhodium, Oyaide R-1, Maestro, Furutech 101, PS audio PPP, and standard PS Audio outlets (blue). I’ve been living with the Maestro for s... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson I just learned of Dave's passing an hour ago. What is there to say? I'm very sad to read this. I knew Dave back when he was in Novato, CA and had just put out the WATTS. I got a pair and was enchanted.He was a very accessible man. I asked him to ... | |
| Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line. I wouldn’t say that cables are "system dependent." I would say that many people have tailored their system towards a certain "type" of sound and when a cable comes in that contributes less to the sound, it can be mistakenly thought that it is the ... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 So, I’ve had the Delta NR for around 10 days now. And I think I see the difference in the Alpha HC and the Delta NR.The Delta NR has a slightly "fuller" sound. It is not at the expense of transparency at all: it is just more powerful-sounding than... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 If you have not yet purchased that Transparent, might I suggest doing the 60-day trial at Music Direct and getting a Shunyata Delta NR? If you don’t like it, just return it before the 60 days is up. No re-stocking fee.I say this because the Delta ... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 I would NOT advise the CX line: there is a built-in warmth which colors the entire frequency presentation. You would do FAR better with a Python ZiTron (I have both the Cobra ZiTron and the Python Citron): the Python is (naturally) better, sonical... | |
| Townshend Maximum Super Tweeters Ribbons, Amazing Results Definite Keepers I did not find them a good match for the Nola Contenders, which surprised me. | |
| Shunyata Sigma Analog vs Alpha Analog - Need advice!! Mikey, I believe I said the old Furutech RHODIUM version was more bleached out, not the Gold. As for outlets? Ps Audio Power Ports, and PS Audio PPP; Synergistic Tesla Plex, and then The Synergistic Tesla Plex SE version; Oyaide R1, and some other... | |
| Power Cords Yes, and one has to be careful with that many tube traps. Place one - or more - incorrectly (the seam pointing too far in one direction or the other) and suddenly the music is a bit "lean-sounding." That's why HP, when he did his Their CS5 review,... | |
| Shunyata Sigma Analog vs Alpha Analog - Need advice!! I have both. I like the Alpha analog, although it seems to have a slight dip in the upper bass/lower midrange. The Sigma does not have that dip. As to whether or not it’s worth it, what is the rest of your system? I think it’s great to have good c... | |
| Power Cords I’ve read thru this thread and am somewhat astonished the most at the claim about Shunyata, specifically it has a "2-D" sound. WHAT?!?!?!?One listen with ASL Hurricanes, which are the most "real"-sounding amplifiers I’ve EVER had and that notion g... | |
