@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.

OP, Amazing isn’t it? I have two direct lines… one for my power conditioner and one for my amps. The power cord on my amps made a huge difference. Much more than the rest. What is your system and venue? There is a place to show it under your UserID. Then you don’t have to repeatedly type in your system. It need not be “show photos”… but is great to see your system. Makes understanding much easier. |
@spearl8, how so? |
