Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review

@tomcy6 

Not sure if this is sincere of a dig? But yes, ridiculously expensive! In my 30 years of this hobby, nothing I have ever heard (speakers, cables, etc.) has ever made such an improvement in sound quality.

👍

No offense taken! Since you are familiar with the products, I think you can appreciate what I am hearing.

Thanks!

I first purchased the Typhon T2 used to power my amps. I then bought the Denali. Most state that this combo is a little better than the Everest. 

With respect to the Omega XC, it enhanced the sound quality by 20%. It made the least difference in the system, but still necessary to fully realize its potential.

Only 20A. I'm going from the wall with Omega XC into the Typhon T2, then from the Typhon using the Shunyata Reference umbilical cord into the Denali. The Denali or Typhon T2 are not switchable. As I mentioned, the Omega XC is not needed only if you want to extract the last drop out of the orange!

I believe the designer is a quite an educated guy. As I previously stated, I am a skeptic of equipment. Although outrageously expensive, you have to hear what this does to a system to believe.

I experienced something similar. I'm not sure if you are a low-level listener but experiment a bit. This was the most impressive aspect of the combination to me. I experienced great detail and bass at lower levels. 

One last thing: I was able to demo a pair of Audioquest Dragon PCs for my monoblocks. They take the sound to another dimension! At this point, though, I just can't justify the cost.

The Typhon T2 allows my monoblocks to play effortlessly. The music is more detailed in every way. Because I listen to a lot of low-level music, it is not necessary to turn up the volume to get adequate bass. When I added the T2 to my system, it was like a veil was lifted. 

@ddrave44 

I would have to admit that the low level performance to me is one of the most impressive traits. On numerous occasions, while casually listening to music and reading, I just lifted my head in disbelief. You will lose a little warmth, but the realism of the presentation will make up for that. 

As an aside, if you really want to go nuts, replace your amp PC with an Audioquest Dragon. I did a demo in my system, and the improvement in sound was consistent with a component-level upgrade. They are just crazy expensive, though!
