    Re: Shunyata Theta and Gamma Series Announced

    In reading again the more-expensive Theta's specs, I am thinking there is little chance they will outperform the Delta v2, and I feel the price differential is going to prove fair. Starting with the...

    Re: Shunyata Theta and Gamma Series Announced

    I would very much be interested in those comparisons, since I own the Venom and Delta v2 in various capacities between my two systems. The RCA Delta v2 in particular is extremely fast and low in...

    Re: Shunyata Theta and Gamma Series Announced

    I agree. Pure, utter speculation w/o any data whatsoever, and manufactured factualization at this point. Let's see how it all eventually evolves.

    Unclear to me what problem they are trying to solve with these new lines. Some technology has been removed in some cases - like Zitron - and others... Perhaps they need to update the marketing...

    You are welcome. Yeah, no issues, it's a personal choice as I said. But let it also be known that Shunyata are also advertising recording studios using their cords and conditioners (thank God!), as...

    Re: The Smith Chart and...Power Cords

    I think the question has been answered aplenty: first, you have the Entech readings with and without the noise reducing power cord; second, we explained how capacitive coupling between hot and...

    Re: The Smith Chart and...Power Cords

    I am glad you are asking these questions, which by no fault of yours show a fundamental lack of understanding of noise, and that is common:

    1) "First question is where does this "noise" come from?...

    Re: The Smith Chart and...Power Cords

    Regarding "My speakers are 107 dB so any noise should be easily heard" - this is a common mistake in thinking what electronic noise is. It is not buzz, hash, hiss; electronic noise is *part of the...

    Re: The Smith Chart and...Power Cords

    The meter is quite relevant, I also have one. The Shunyata Alpha NR that I have appears to shunt from hot to neutral with 583nF capacitance, and the Venom NR (in the video, which I also have) the...

    Re: Wine Spectator TOP 10 of 2023 REACTION!!!

    We had the Argiano, but 2017 vintage, the week before the list came out, and it was fine. I hope this 2018 is far superior. Tonight, it's Mencia, Descendientes de Jose Palacios Corullon 2020 - really...

    Re: Alpha v2 NR vs Sigma v2 NR

    If you want a little better performance, you can shield those TAP modules in the Alpha (and higher) interconnects with the 3M AB5100 self-adhesive material I am using everywhere, or with carbon fiber...

    Yes, a chassis screw is where you would attach them; I bought brass screws, copper are also available but not necessary since these STIS terminals are brass themselves

    Re: Alpha v2 NR vs Sigma v2 NR

    and FWIW, I've gone Alpha v2 all around - ground, power NR, signal - with a couple of Sigma XC on the Everest and amps for the reasons stated above. It's all the speed, power and purity that I need

    When I hooked up my preamp and sources to the Everest's ground lugs with Alpha cables I did hear a small but significant improvement, so I can attest to your suggestion

    Re: Shunyata Typhon T2

    The Denali v2 can easily fetch $3000 so for the same upgrade cost just go for an Everest, and you end up with a better conditioner and one umbilical less. Assuming you can fit the Everest
