Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review

I will begin with the conclusion. If you are able to purchase this combo or an Everest, you need to. You have no idea what your system truly sounds like without these. I am skeptical of many audiophile claims and let my ears be the judge. In this case, these are the real deal.

These conditioners replaced my beloved Puritan Audio PSM 136. The sound quality of the Shunyata combo is easily 2-3x as good as the Puritans. The Puritan is no slouch in the price/performance category, but it can not hang with Shunyata, nor should it, considering the price difference!

Instruments are far more detailed and spatial, and the bass is extended and deep, along with the width of the soundstage. Vocals are eerily present in the room and crystal clear. A little of the system warmth disappeared but for the better. The background is entirely black (I never understood this term's meaning until I actually heard it). However, the most impressive attribute is the low-level listening detail. The bass performance is just stunning at a low level, a head-shaking experience.

If I were blind-testing my system before and after, I would 100% state that they are two different systems. These conditioners are that transformative. 

I have an Omega XC power cord coming, which is supposed to increase the performance to another level; I don't know if this is possible, but I guess I will soon see!

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

Provide the scientific proof to back up your claims. I don't listen to baseless opinions.

I find your findings valuable, that Shunyara Everest significantly superior to Puritan product.  I using EquiTech balanced power, but may also try top Shunyata or Audioquest conditioners.  Thanks for posting.

I am well aware you flat-earthers think you can pull out a glorified multi-meter and take 3 simple parameters of a piece of copper and think you know what it sounds like, but you are all wrong. Oh wait, you think they all sound the same, I stand corrected. I was 22 once, and thought I knew everything also. I am now well beyond that. My science degree taught me to observe evidence and arrive at obvious conclusions. You know, use my brain and think for myself, and not follow and be brainwashed by the pied piper making ignorant claims based on inadequate data. Sorry, not joining your church.
