| Shunyata CX cables People like the "coloration" that the CX generation provided. I didn't notice the coloration (manifested as warmth over the entire frequency spectrum), until I got ZiTron cables. I actually re-purchased a CX to see how it sounded after I acclimat... | |
| Need quick Shunyata answer Yes. Although Shunyata had a previous generation, called the "Alpha" (ZiTron) cables, the Alpha HC is a newer ZiTron generation. | |
| FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard I have used an FIM 880 for many years. I also have the Furutech NCF and Prior Furutech generation, Furutech GTD Rhodium, Oyaide R-1, Maestro, Furutech 101, PS audio PPP, and standard PS Audio outlets (blue). I’ve been living with the Maestro for s... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson I just learned of Dave's passing an hour ago. What is there to say? I'm very sad to read this. I knew Dave back when he was in Novato, CA and had just put out the WATTS. I got a pair and was enchanted.He was a very accessible man. I asked him to ... | |
| Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line. I wouldn’t say that cables are "system dependent." I would say that many people have tailored their system towards a certain "type" of sound and when a cable comes in that contributes less to the sound, it can be mistakenly thought that it is the ... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 So, I’ve had the Delta NR for around 10 days now. And I think I see the difference in the Alpha HC and the Delta NR.The Delta NR has a slightly "fuller" sound. It is not at the expense of transparency at all: it is just more powerful-sounding than... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 If you have not yet purchased that Transparent, might I suggest doing the 60-day trial at Music Direct and getting a Shunyata Delta NR? If you don’t like it, just return it before the 60 days is up. No re-stocking fee.I say this because the Delta ... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 I would NOT advise the CX line: there is a built-in warmth which colors the entire frequency presentation. You would do FAR better with a Python ZiTron (I have both the Cobra ZiTron and the Python Citron): the Python is (naturally) better, sonical... | |
| Townshend Maximum Super Tweeters Ribbons, Amazing Results Definite Keepers I did not find them a good match for the Nola Contenders, which surprised me. | |
| Shunyata Sigma Analog vs Alpha Analog - Need advice!! Mikey, I believe I said the old Furutech RHODIUM version was more bleached out, not the Gold. As for outlets? Ps Audio Power Ports, and PS Audio PPP; Synergistic Tesla Plex, and then The Synergistic Tesla Plex SE version; Oyaide R1, and some other... | |
| Power Cords Yes, and one has to be careful with that many tube traps. Place one - or more - incorrectly (the seam pointing too far in one direction or the other) and suddenly the music is a bit "lean-sounding." That's why HP, when he did his Their CS5 review,... | |
| Shunyata Sigma Analog vs Alpha Analog - Need advice!! I have both. I like the Alpha analog, although it seems to have a slight dip in the upper bass/lower midrange. The Sigma does not have that dip. As to whether or not it’s worth it, what is the rest of your system? I think it’s great to have good c... | |
| Power Cords I’ve read thru this thread and am somewhat astonished the most at the claim about Shunyata, specifically it has a "2-D" sound. WHAT?!?!?!?One listen with ASL Hurricanes, which are the most "real"-sounding amplifiers I’ve EVER had and that notion g... | |
| Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line. Richard:Thanks for the helpful information. | |
| Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line. Ricred:Were the cables new when you got them or had they already been used before? |
