Which Shunyata Power Cord?


Which Shunyata cord under $1k has great soundstage and warm tone?

New or used, new or old.

Also, Shunyata power cords aren’t warm sounding. If you want warrm, you’re not going to beat the Audioquest Hurricane used around $1000 for 1m. 

Yep the last shunyata power cord I tried, Alpha v2 XC, caused listening fatigue. I ended up returning it. The older Python and Typan Helix Alpha cables that i had for years were more balanced but still not warm.

Another alternative is Audience AU24SE HP. But I would go with the Hurricane. Awesome bass and never bright.

The XC series are to be used with power distribution /conditioners only... 
 

I don’t think so. It’s a high current power cord and is suitable for use on amplifiers. Which is where it was tested in my system. It managed to turn my Pass Labs XA30.8 into a bright and fatiguing amp which is nearly an impossible task n

@aolmrd1241 I need to amend my earlier post. I thought it was the XC version but I double checked my email and my music direct order was for the alpha v2 nr in 1.75m. Sorry for the confusion. But it is the NR that turned my XA30.8 into a fatiguing beast.
