Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I am absolutely loving what the 6000T (and two 2000T's) have done in my system. I'm finding the instruments have a more three dimensional shape and any hint of grunge in the upper register is gone. You really appreciate what the Denali's do on less than stellar recordings.
What have you guys found?My Systems: http://www.audioshark.org/showthread...481#post158481

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Same thing for me. I switched from a Triton V2/Typhon(3) combo to the 6000T/2000T(2) like you have.
The form factor is great also - I love the tower configuration.Jock

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I'm loving mine too. The 2 things that jump out to me are better bass - in a not so subtle way - and more space / separation between the instruments (more 3D). All this with a lower noise floor. Love it!

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Just guesstimating, how much of an improvement are you hearing with the Denali over the Triton v2/Typhon pair? When I went from the Triton v1 to Triton v2 it was an obvious difference. Not subtle at all, but a drastic reduction in noise that I did not know was there until it was gone. I only use this on my source. However, I experienced the same thing on my amps when I went from a Cyclop v1 to a Cyclop v2.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I went from a Cyclops v1 for my Vitus integrated and LUMIN (not ideal I know) to a Denali and it was an amazing difference. The separation, soundstage placement (pinpoint), and dead silent backgrounds were the most noticeable. I didn't notice a huge change in size of sound staging but the location of instruments and singers is just great! All the same cables and components as previous. 20A Alpha HC, Vitus's amp PC, and Alpha Digital.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I have a 6000T that I rented from the Cable Co. I have a funny story to tell about it.
When I first got it and inserted it, I plugged my preamp and DAC into the non HC outlets. I did NOT like the sound at all. The bass got worse, like the units weren't getting enough juice. So I dismissed the Denali as something that would benefit me and left it sitting there while I plugged my preamp and DAC back directly into the wall quadplex.
I then went on to enjoy my system for a week. I marveled at how good everything sounded.
Then somebody else wrote that they had a similar experience to mine and moved their preamp to the HC outlet. So I tried that and it sounded good - there was a slight improvement. I then went back and forth a few times and confirmed (also using my wife's ears) the differences.
Well yesterday it was time to send the Denali back. I unplugged it from the quadplex and decided to listen to music while I packed it up. All of a sudden my system sounded slow and ill defined. I then did some research and learned that just having the Denali plugged into my quadplex was increasing the bass performance of my system considerably.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I still do have the Mainz8 Diamond, Sparkz T's and Darkz Diamonds. The Mainz8 with the Sparkz T's are excellent and I've used them since the day I bought it. I also like the Darkz Diamonds and use them under my Lampi! I've never done a shootout between the two power distributors/conditioners, sorry. But they are definitely similar in that they are both passive designs (vs Active with the AQ 5000/7000).

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I got a Denali 6000S about a month ago. It replaced a Weizhi Precision power distributor (PRS-6), which is also passive. To my ears with the Denali, music sounds more relaxed and detailed. The the noise floor seems lower too, and I like the way the bass sounds. Similar to MadFloyd's experience, when I first plugged-in the Denali, I did not like the sound and thought something was wrong with unit; however, after a couple of days, everything came into place.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I am ordering a Denali 2000 for my new TV, and it will replace a Hydra AV. The TV is on a shared circuit so I want to insure its power is as clean as can be. Once the warranty is up I will open it up, and replace the stock power cable with an IEC connector so that I can use a Shunyata power cord on it. I did that to my previous TV, and the power cord made the colors more vivid, and bought more detail to the picture.
I bought the 75".

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I bought the D2000 to try the arrest the high gain issues my goldmund monos have in its pairing with the ARC pre amp...
My current uncomfortable solution was to not ground the power cables of the power amp which made me a little fearful..
Sadly, it's didn't solve the issues which I suspected all along...
The positive part is that the difference is fairly substantial with the monoblocks into the D2000.... Tighter Low end and better instrument separation. And the difference is almost immediate... the improvements are fairly substantial to make me accept the matching flaws...it's that good...

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I'm contemplating adding a conditioner, how is Denali different than Hydra Triton V2? I run SET amps with tube pre and Lumin digital. Thanks, Art

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
My Denali 2000 showed up today. That was fast, since I just ordered it on Friday. I bought it for the TV, and have two 4K UHD BRs on order, Oblivion and Lucy. Can't wait for them to arrive and to test out the new TV and Oppo 203 on Friday.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Last night I decided to finish watching a Netflix rental DVD, but with the Denali installed on the TV versus the Hydra AV. I put the Denali behind the left front speaker, and the TV power cord just reached it. So, I start to watch the movie, and I see this blue circle on the left wall. WTF? Turns out the Denali has a blue led on the front, and it was projecting onto the wall. Unacceptable, I said. So I cut a piece of black electrical tape and placed it over the led. Black electrical tape has solved a number of annoying led problems for me.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Just noticed this question.
I do use 2 Typhons with my 6000T. The thing is - it only seems to work if you put it in the same 2 outlet grouping on the back of the Denali. The separation seems to hamper the Typhon's effectiveness if not immediately next to the plug to be helped.
So - I have my plugs as follows: In the high output plugs - The Ayre KXR20 and a Typhon. The next pair of plugs - The Lumin and a Typhon. In the next pair - The UHS Tape Deck.
I already had them so it was fun to experiment.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
So if I went for the 6000S would my amps, pre and digital all go into it? Or keep amps straight to the wall until add one or two 2000's?

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Good question..i tend to have 'knee jerk' reactions to new gear but am smart enough to go back and give things a little more time to register in my mind one way or another.After the initial impression,and actually taking the '2000T' out of the system, i decided to give it another 3-4 days,after listening to my system without it.After reinstalling it, i began noticing, not too subtle improvements that i realized were,in fact, exactly that,improvements. That is when i emailed Richard,at Shunyata,and asked him if it was okay to try the 2000T on my Lumin and when i did i liked those improvements even more.Thus the purchase next week of a 6000S which will fit better,in my system, than a 6000T..Should be a win-win situation...i hope.

Congratulations. I have been a Shunyata fan ever since I added my first power cord (Venom) 3-4 years ago. What they do with power is amazing. I am going to get both of my Triton v2 upgraded to v3 that will add the Denali technology onto the Triton.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Nice, I ordered myself a 6000T to replace my Triton V1. After much debating between upgrading my TritonV1 to a V3. I didn't need the extra outlets as I have downsized a few components.
Shunyata makes world class products. Looking forward to the new interconnects and speaker cables. Hopefully announced at CES.

Well, in the end ............... I succumbed to the temptation. Denali 6000T ordered from a dealer. I hope to have it in 20 days.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Given the great reviews I've read on this and other forums, I purchased a Denali as well! Of course, I didn't realize I needed a 20amp PC to the wall. Curious, what are people using from the wall to the Denali - a Shunyata PC or just generic 20amp PC? From Denali to components, I intend to use good PCs, but from wall to Denali, anyone experiment with generic or entry level PCs with good results? Just curious.
thx

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
After some comparisons I decided to use a Alpha HC from the 6000T to the wall. I still prefer the Transparent MM2x Power Cords from my amps to the Denali. I haven't tired the Sigma's nor Opus units as I have (currently) drawn a line in the sand at how much I am willing to spend on PC's.

Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
Alpha HC here too. One of the "other" forums that Caelin posts in I remember reading a post that it is less critical, because of all the NR and technical mumbo jumbo going on in the Denali, to use a super high end cord from the wall. This is different than what they usually say for Hydra's and other companies power conditioners. As long as it is sufficient gauge wiring was the gist. I can try and find the post.

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
I, for the moment, will use my Isotek Extreme C19 since I've been a very hard year (Rockport Atria, Melco N1ZH 60, Denali 6000T), so I hope that my dealer is not so "evil" to make me an offer To sell their Sigma or Alfa cables, from the old series, now that they have come out the new NR ..........

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
A few days ago I was in Lisbon for a weekend. One day I went to Ajasom, the importer of Shunyata and took my Isotek Extrem with connector C19, with which I plan to connect my future Denali 6000 T to the wall (still not arriving, since April 30). We compared my Isotek with Alpha HC (they did not have Sigma). To my misfortune ........ the Shunyata sounded much better.
By the way the Speakers were the Giya G2, I had never heard them and they impressed me. So much that it is quite possible that if I had heard them 6 months ago today I would have Giya G3 instead of Rockport Atria (and I love my Rockport)Francisco

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
For all you Denali owners... I was going to put a 6000T into my system to replace an old Hydra v2, but decided to go with a Triton v3 instead. Holy Shit! What an improvement. But my REF75 is on a separated dedicated circuit, currently plugged straight to the wall with Ztron Sigma Alpha PC. With the improvements added via the Triton v3 to my upstream kit, I am contemplating adding something for the REF75, obviously a Denali 2000T would be an easy add. But... Grant @ Shunyata suggested perhaps putting a Typhon on the outlet serving the REF75 (If I could find one used it would be in the ballpark of a 2000T.)
What do you all think? I know many of you have used / are still using Typhons, and some of you have migrated to Denali. What do you suppose would offer the biggest improvement?

Re: Shunyata Denali Owners Thread
The Triton V3 is really amazing. Congrats.
I had a pair of Typhons using them in the unused outlets for my Dags and I found that I liked a pair of the Denali 2000t's better than the Typhons. I have 3 circuits - one for source and 1 each for the mono amps.
If you can, try to listen to both so you can see which works better for your system.Jock
