Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review

@ddrave44 

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.

I would like to do more low level listening and this seems like the way to go. It’s on my list now. Thanks for the help!

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!

This wil be short and sweet.  I went from a Tripplite isolation transformer to an Everest with a Sigma XC (also Sigma v1 speaker cables, Sigma v1 XLRs, and Alpha v2 power cables).  I bought one used and figured that I could resell it for close to what I paid for it if the hype didn’t match my experience.  Struck me as a ridiculous expense for a glorified power strip.  After about a week after settling in, the Everest made a stunning improvement in my system.  The soundstage in particular had always been wide, but not really deep.  I felt that I was missing that 3D quality.  Not now.  The soundstage is deep and wide, with a black background that makes the instruments not only stand out but are perfectly placed in a 3D axis.  Yes, it is expensive, but to me, it provided the missing piece to my system.   Forget all of the jumbo jumbo about all the patents etc.  Put it in your system and see what happens.  I am extremely happy with it and surprised the the hype matched its performance.  Can I explain why Shunyata cables sound so great? No.  Can I explain why the Everest jacked my system up to another level?  Nope.  Fairy dust?  Who knows?  But what I can say with certainty is that it has really improved my system to such a degree that it is, to me at least, totally worth it.  Obviously, the better the system, the more you will notice a positive difference.

As an added benefit, I have everything plugged into the Everest and my house got struck by lightning a few weeks ago and fried my generator and my HVAC.  Didn’t touch my stereo equipment though!

The best power conditioner is NO power conditioner... nothing between the wall receptacles and the audio unit, except for a power cord

The best power power cord is the stock power cord that comes with the unit
