Dealer installed a pair of Lōkē subs to replace a pair of Paradigm's I'd used for a few years with Alexia 2. With the Alexia V's in house, these provide a substantially better floor and faster, more...

Spent the past four days auditioning a production version of the Omega XLR cables. Took a bit over a day for these to settle into my system, so as to perform at their best. That's just the nature...

Have had the new Alexia V's for a few weeks now:

Words to describe what I’m hearing so far:

The Alexia V delivers!

No more clutter…unpacks everything…nothing is hidden..ruthlessly exposes...

Nice review by Jason in Stereophile: Wilson Audio Specialties Alexia V loudspeaker | Stereophile.com

Assume he upgraded from his prior Alexia 2 speakers, based on the setup comments.

Seems Bob Harley likes Altaira…more than a bit - https://shunyata.com/download/23094/?tmstv=1670353886

Sorta'.

I'd say I didn't know why the dCS Clock was adversely affected by connecting to the Altaira. That simply led to seeing if the Cybershaft would work with the Altaira. Clearly that didn't...

So, I've had the Altaira CG at home for a month or thereabouts. It's been an eye opener in many respects. Did find benefit in using the Uptone Audio etherREGEN's dedicated ground to the Altaira,...

Until Omega XLR appears…

Chris does a nice review: Wilson Audio Alexia V Full Review - Reviews - Audiophile Style

Here's what my dealer has told me: The grounding system in the 500 Anniversary mono blocks is VERY specific. There are several ways to implement this circuit if it is required. You are currently...

Guess you've got an insider or two at Spectral. Or you've peeked inside the amps. Anyway, that's consistent with its behavior. I've typically found that when components are internally grounded,...

I don't believe they did so. I know only that the system that they set up for their own testing, which I was privy to a few weeks back, was cordoned off to keep out the "riffraff", so to speak. It...

After testing my Spectral preamp with the multimeter and verifying it was a candidate for using the Altaira SG we tested as I'd previously indicated, with a less than happy result. Given that it...

OK. I wasn’t a party to the particulars, so I don’t know about any “certification”. Just that Grant came down to the dealership and did extensive training within the past month or so. And I’d...

Not to blindside you, but Music Lovers, out here in the BayArea, received training quite some time ago (visited by by Shunyata). I listened to the Altaira initially the middle of August at their...

Yes he did. And it was appropriately <1 ohm for inlet ground pin to BNC. So, we got a real surprise once we wired up from SPDIF 3 to the Altaira, and turned on the amp.

Yep! Wish it was “safe” to simply rewire my two dedicated 20 amp circuits for the mono blocks to avoid cheaters. So, I’ve been using some from Synergistic Research I got years ago. But there may be...

Best to review the docs: ALTAIRA Road Map - Shunyata Research and in particular: https://shunyata.com//wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2022/08/ALTAIRA-Component-Continuity-Test-Worksheet.pdf

Note...

The chassis ground covers the initial 6 attached devices and is recommended strongly for such applications. As you can see from my signature I’ve quite a few potential candidates for the Altaira. And...

What you point out is exactly why you must use a dealer who's been trained by Shunyata to visit you with their kit of CG and SG and all the possible cabling and tails of various types and lengths. ...

The whole area of grounding is a bit mysterious to most of us. This guide is nice in terms of what the Shunyata power distributors do https://shunyata.com/download/15436/ in this area. The power...

My dealer, Music Lovers out here in Berkeley was trained a number of months ago. And they came out a few weeks ago to determine a) what components would "play" nicely with the Altaira. Ultimately...

Actually it has to do with a device’s need to be protected from AC line level noise — and the capacity of the power cable to deliver what helps the device perform optimally. Seems that in the case of...

Caelin recommended and I've been using the Omega QR-s with my dCS Vivaldi DAC for many months and it's quite impressive. However, upgrading from Sigma V2 AES/EBU to the Omega has been a big...
