| Shunyata X series power cords Just an update on the Shunyata Alpha-X NR mains power cable. I’ve earlier reported that there is a significant difference between the Alpha-X NR and Furutech DPS4.1/FI-50 NCF(R) on the Luxman 590AXII integrated, a landslide win for the Shunyata. ... | |
| Mild Electric Shock When Touching Shunyata Alpha NR Plugs @lak response from Shunyata as below. This is a known and compliant behavior. When you pull a power cord out of a live outlet, the small capacitors in the cable can hold a residual charge momentarily on the prongs. If you touch them immediate... | |
| Mild Electric Shock When Touching Shunyata Alpha NR Plugs @jea48 @coppy777 the entire power cord including the IEC was disconnected from the amp. I got a mild shock when touching the pins. The shock was still there even though the whole power cord was disconnected from the system after 1 minute. I tried... | |
| Speaker cable termination options I prefer bananas to spades as the connection is secure and a tight fit. With spades it can loosen after a while. I have two pairs of speaker cables and they are all factory-terminated bananas. | |
| 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 ... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @crion that’s slightly difficult as I only have one cable each Furutech DPS/FI50NCF(R) and Shunyata Alpha-X NR. I compared both these cables solely on integrated amps, while Wireworld Silver Electra 7 and Acrolink Mexcel cords are used with the st... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @swede58 the IR remote board in the Diablo 300 is faulty. It takes time for the part to be ordered and shipped from Denmark. | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @cknd_cnnl @swede58 @rssb Update. I finally had the opportunity to try the Shunyata Alpha-X NR in my system. Although the listening is only for two days, the experience has proven to be a revelation. The Alpha-X NR is currently one of the c... | |
| Japanese cable brands I own 2 pairs of mains power cords and 2 pairs of interconnects from Acrolink. For the costlier Acrolink models, beware that there are fakes out there so it's wise to purchase from reputable sources. Apart from Acrolink I also have some power co... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords Just an update, the Shunyata Alpha-X NR has been confirmed. I should receive it by end of the month as the owner is away. | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @swede58, I’m using Chord Sarum T speaker cables with the Diablo 300. I am not swapping speaker cables and interconnects anymore as I’ve spent too much money on the current cables which I own. A dealer managed to source a mint pair of Shunyata A... | |
| Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable? Thanks, I’ll investigate all options. Anyway I just checked the total cost of cables which I still own, all types of cables including spares. Actual price paid and not MSRP, it’s all recorded in an Excel sheet. I’m shocked,. It’s $22.4k. I will ... | |
| Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable? I appreciate all the responses. Good to know that the Diablo 333 benefits from a good power cord. AQ Dragon HC is >$10k MSRP and even used is above my budget, I think it's double the price of the Shunyata Sigma NR which is already rather costly... | |
| Does Gryphon Diablo 300 Benefit With A Costly Mains Power Cable? Thanks @audphile1 useful to know. I’ll look at the Kimber PK10 Ascent power cord. Low price is surely useful and appealing to everyone. It’s just that most cheap is considered as not good, and it’s refreshing to know that some may deliver great re... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @rssb thanks. It's a one way ticket to the Alpha-X NR now. |
