Shunyata Denali Damn!


Long time power cable denier here... I just installed the Denali in my SET based system and holy crap this thing is crazy good! AND I must admit I have been very skeptical of power products for a long time having experienced dynamic compression with other products. The Shunyata Denali made the background dead quiet and without a hint of compression on my 300B mono's breathing through 104db horns. Frankly I am shocked and overwhelmed with how much I like this product. Rarely does a product live up to the hype but this one does. Damn, wish I had done this long ago!

Easy all... it may take a while for me to fully get power cable religion.  Baby steps.  That being said I have been on the IC, USB, Speaker cable train for a long time. 

@calvinandhobbs... less about the power cables than it was with my previous experience with power conditioners & regenerators.  All that I had tried previously suffered from dynamic compression or coated the sound in a thin shell of plastic.  Not a vale but a like a plastic coating like when you turn on all the smoothing on your TV and it makes everything look like a cartoon.  What led me to Shunyata?  The technology and the actual engineering approach that is used in the medical industry.

Could not be more happy with the product.  It's going to be vary hot today so I may need to stay inside!
Actually I purchased both the Syunyata and the Audioquest since well... I had till now not found a power conditioner that I could live with.  In my system the Shunyata was much better however, It's my understanding that your local power issues would be the deciding factor between the two.  Actually the Youtube channel Audio Excellence (i think out of Canada) tackled this very issue recently and that was the conclusion they reached.  

I have good power being only a mile from the substation but have significant noise on the line so the Shunyata was the perfect fit.  If you have power fluctuations but it is reasonably clean it's my understanding that the Audioquest would be better.  Who knows though.  I have found that there are very few absolutes in our hobby as the synergy of the various components of the system is more important that the capability of the components.  Your mileage may vary.
