@ghdprentice yeah, I’ve had my Venom for several years and tried it with various components and found a faint difference over stock. Not the case with the Delta and Alpha. Honestly, I’m surprised and continue to be mystified how a power cable can influence SQ so much.
Shunyata PC Shootout
Have some power cables in for testing from the Cable Company:
Alpha XC and Delta XC feeding my PSA PowerPlant. I currently have a Shunyata Venom.
Long and short: both Alpha and Delta are substantially better than venom and have a massive impact on SQ. They increase sound stage by a lot, dynamics, and clarity.
It’s possible the Alpha is too much of a good thing, but I’m only on day two so my opinion may change. It feels the Alpha does the same changes as the Delta, just bigger in all ways.
I would also say the Delta is, say, a 30% improvement in SQ and the Alpha is 10% more improvement.
Regardless, both are a huge improvement in my system—dang, I’ll probably have to buy one.
