Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
I was able to see, but not hear a prototype of this cable.
It’s a cable and conditioner all in one so don’t let the price panic you, despite its retail tag
Caelin and crew were passionate about it.
I think it only comes in one size, and that’s a “Think Statement”

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
The Omega QR looks great! And, given Shunyata's history, should be a terrific PC. I would assume an entire line of Omega cables to follow.
Caelin now going for the price stratosphere. I hope some of this technology trickles down to the next Sigma and Alpha lines._______________

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
They are beautiful but $18k for a pair of power cords is past my line in the sand. I will not dismiss them without hearing them but my current PC’s sounded better on my amps not connected to the Denali so I assume they need to be at Hydra level.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Or, will there be an “EF” version for owners of Shunyata conditioners that don’t need the “conditioning “ aspect of the omega but , want the higher resolution it probably provides over a Sigma NR/EF.
For example , having it from Denali/Triton to wall.
If not, I think this cable is targeted at those customers who own high end pair of monoblocks but, prefer to plug them straight into the wall over using a conditioner. Or, have their amp/amps separated from their equipment rack front end gear which is plugged into its own conditioner of some kind.
Also, considering the Denali 2000T is no longer produced.
I also think this Omega QR power cable is Shunyata’s answer to the AQ Dragon.
IMHO these are two top designers of power cables and products today (Caelin at Shunyata) and Garth at AudioQuest but, the hobby is subjective so, YMMV of course.
Additionally , we can probably “guess “ that this is the first of many “Omega “ line of new flagship products from Shunyata.
Perhaps Caelin will see this thread and chime on the new Omega QR and perhaps whats next from Shunyata Research.

NEW - Shunyata Omega
Gulp, still gasping for air, trying not to panic... where’s my paper bag?
To me, this is a dangerous thing for Shunyata. If the Triton fits in the bulb in this cable, what have the huge boxes been for all these years? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice,...
In comparison, the Niagara is full of actual power conditioning circuitry. This is one of the reasons why I moved from Shunyata to AQ.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
The AQ Dragon High Current is $9500 USD MSRP for a 2M Length. If we assume that Shunyata releases this at 1.75M Length like their other cords for $9000 USD MSRP.
The Omega QR is less expensive than its direct competitor.
Plus, it's made in USA not China. Has built in QR tech (has an actual patent) and you don't need to change the batteries like you need to w/ Audioquest DBS pack.
I'd say Shunyata is the better value (on paper) at least of these two cables.
Now, of course system synergy is different for everyone and of course this hobby is subjective but, YMMV.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
So what is the "ideal" Shunyata configuration for my Pass Labs XS 300 beastie amps which are currently powered via Shunyata Signma HC cables and a Denali 2000T on each?

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Omega QR
The Concept
Create the penultimate power cord designed specifically for today’s exotic, high performance power amplifiers. Some examples are: Constellation, Soulution, CH Precision, Audionet, D’Agnostino, Audio Research and many others.
Design Imperatives
- The cable must redefine the state-of-the-art in power cord design.
- Incorporate the latest CCI filtering technology from the Denali power conditioners.
- Miniaturize the patented NIC and QR/BB technology from the Typhon.
- And somehow, someway incorporate all that in a cord that does not require a metal box or pod that would make it too cumbersome to handle.
The OMEGA QR is the culmination of over 3 years of development. There have been many concepts and prototypes over the years. Some of them had incredible performance but lacked one of the imperatives listed above. So, we moved on to other ideas and the research for new or better materials continued. We believe that the OMEGA QR is, by far, the finest power cord that we have ever produced. It has become a reference by which we measure the performance of future power cords, yet to be announced.
Three years ago, we developed a radical conductor that combines the best attributes of a pure silver conductor along with the best qualities of pure OFE copper conductors. The VTX-Ag conductor has a coaxial construction with center core of pure silver and a surround of copper. We decided to introduce this new conductor in our reference OMEGA QR which uses 6 gauge VTX-Ag conductors with a dielectric of a fluorocarbon compound. This design reduces dielectric absorption and skin-effects when used in signal conductors.
The OMEGA QR has a miniature QR/BB mounted inside a carbon fiber tube. It is light enough that we did not need to put it in a metal box, pod or other enclosure. The cable is light enough and flexible enough for use in any system. The QR/BB imparts many of the special sonic characteristics that have made the Hydra Typhon a cult status product for use with high power mono-block amplifiers. The OMEGA QR provides much of the performance of the Typhon except it eliminates all of the connectors, electrical contacts, electrical breaker and most importantly the second umbilical power cord required to use a Typhon.
Additionally, the OMEGA QR includes both common mode and differential mode NR (noise reduction) derived from our CIS (Clear Image Scientific) medical division. Of course, a power cord cannot contain the full measure of NR that one of our power conditioners can provide but it is significant and measurable.
The connectors are a new design that incorporates carbon fiber bodies that help dampen cable vibration. Of course, the carbon is also quite beautiful. The OMEGA QR will be available in three color schemes. Red carbon with gold rings, gray carbon with silver rings and black carbon with gold rings will be available.
The OMEGA QR has been extensively beta tested in sites around the world. The feedback has been stunningly encouraging. Perhaps some of the beta testers may chime in if they are members of this site.
If you own exotic, high performance, amplifiers and are looking to extract the ultimate performance please give the OMEGA QR an audition. The cable are currently being manufactured and we will officially release them on December 1. The cables are quite difficult and time consuming to build. Only our best technician is certified to build the cable and it takes 5 full days to produce a single cable. So just remember that ALL of these cables are custom builds. These are not cables built in China and sitting in a warehouse. So patience is appreciated. Believe me - it is worth the wait.
I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Caelin ,
Thank your informative response. Your company is always very transparent In explaining your products directly to your customers.
Many thanks in advance to your entire team.
My question is will there be a power cable that offers the new conductor technology but , lacks the Qr in order to hit a lower price point ?
for example, will this be it the next version of the Sigma Nr ? Aka a v2 sigma etc ?

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Shunyata OMEGA QR Power cord (15-amp) recent listening impressions:
*This is a long post, thanks for the patience to read it through,…
Going back almost 15 years and rolling forward with my 2004-2009 hybrid 7.1 HT and 2-channel setup which was by my
standards at least, monstrous in size, complexity and expense using dual-subs, full range speakers in 4 out 7 positions and near
full-range in the other 3, Esoteric 3-box stack (P-03U, D-03, G-0s), high-end video, video EQ (Lumagen, etc...) and all the trimmings,
I've owned a LOT of Shunyata products in the Hydra8 and Anaconda/Anaconda VX timeline so I am no stranger to Shunyata's
approach, quality, value for the money, customer service and attention to detail in all that they do.
Roll the clock forward ten years plus; the HT setup is gone,….I love music listening far more than even the best HT setups
I’ve ever had and have heard and no longer want the ever-changing formats, pre- and post-processing standards for video,
audio, etc…crazy complexity, crazy expense and the feeling of being behind the times ever after the most major of upgrades.
In short, I’ve been working to maximize my 2-channel playback sans going after vinyl which I always loved but again, cost, scale,
complexity, storage requirements, etc…are all something I did not want to take on again.
This is a every long-winded way of saying that I’ve put all my time, money and effort into pushing the envelope as we all
do to get the most realistic musical playback possible out of my D->A system. I have no time for non-full range speakers,
one to a few inch-wide sweet spots, laser sighting or satellite + GPS needed for speaker setup (obviously joking!!), speakers that
are precise, revealing, ultra-expensive with fan-attracting names but not able to play all the music I like musically, realistically and
without fatigue even when played 4, 6, 8, 10+ hours per day while I work, or critically listen, or simply relax in the house.
Two to 3 years ago I thought I’d squeezed all I could out of the system with 02-level Esoteric separates, preamp and amp,
10 MHz OP21 level Type2 master clock, SOTA speakers and many great digital and analog interconnects and speaker cables
plus a UK company’s 2-box power conditioner that was the finest I’d heard in 20 years of chasing the dragon as it were for power.
Enter Shunyata <again>…due in part to posts about the benefit of high quality word and master clocking external/other devices in the
D-to-A playback chain, I was asked to participate in a group of 5 anonymous testers all with different equipment over a multi-month
period to do double-blind testing of 50-ohm and 75-ohm clock cables for Shunyata. That began it all…1-2 years later and a lot of
great testing and learning later all digital cables (SIGMA 50-ohm clock and AES/EBU), several SIGMA and Anaconda Zitron/KPIP
analog XLRs and all my power conditioning is now and shall remain Shunyata. Part and parcel of this was the TRITON V3
which quickly displaced a 2-box SOTA setup from another vendor. I heard thee most musical sounds out of my systems that I’d
ever heard out of any system I’d built. Then came the TYPHON QR. The result that occurred when putting the TYPHON QR into the
system in front of the TRITON V3 is one that won’t be forgotten. I remember calling Caelin and dropping all the audiophile
crazy words and hyperbole and saying ‘my system just sounds like live music!’ and asking how exactly he pulled that off
in one passive box coupled to another.
Anyone who has taken TRITON V3, TYPHON QR, SIGMA, Alpha or Delta cables into their system of any kind and now
the Denali 6000/S v2, know what I’m taking about when I say that I believe Caelin and the team at Shunyata are ‘on a roll’
doing what I would say is the best work of their careers, no b.s. , no exaggeration.
ENTER THE OMEGA QR Power cord:
In all my demo time with the TRITON V3 and then the TYPHON QR in combo with it, and all the time after purchasing them,
I have found that they absolutely excel at improving the quality of playback and performance of any front-end component
all the way thru the chain. For me that is;
Transport, DAC, Master clock, Preamp, LPSU for active RoomEQ, Crossover and A->D->A components for my
Active speaker setup….
Plugging my SOTA Stereo amp (Esoteric A-02) into the combo and all the digital amps in my active speaker full-range
Setup (5 in all) also sounded great but frankly plugging any amplifier into a properly done dedicated circuit straight to
the wall as always performed better regardless of what power conditioning I had in the system at any point in time..
I had the good fortune about 2 weeks ago to be given a chance to spend 5 days with an new Shunyat OMEGA QR power cord.
The fit, finish and build quality (including a new SOTA wire-type internally) are truly world-class and eclipse even
the best from Shunyata thus far which is no easy task. The bespoke connectors, use of high grade carbon, flexibility
of the cable are all on a brand new level of excellence! I’m told these improvements will be studied for their application
to future cables as well. The aesthetic is to my eyes, beautiful to look at as well.
In short, the impact of using this cord is truly, no b.s., no exaggeration was mind-blowing to me….this cord is tailor made
for any amplifier, even digital (ICEpower2, etc…) with more modest current draw requirements but easily will maximize
the performance ff any amplifier, Tube, Solid State or Digital (IMHO). It certainly did that here with respect to all the
various amp connects to the wall in my setup that I tried.
I don’t know the topology or the innards of this cable except what has been circulated online thus far. To my listening
tests from the first hour forward out of the box, every single aspects of playback anywhere I plugged it in improved.
As a kicker, I also tried it on the LPSU for my Wavelet Active Crossover & RoomEQ and then on my DAC as well
and heard similar advances.
In every single case, particular and more striking differences for any amplifier and the LPSU for Wavelet, I heard;
- dramatic increase in sound stage definition and size in 3-dimensions
- rock-solid and dramatic increase in imaging performance top to bottom (floor to ceiling) and left to right
- deepening of the sound stage even further behind the walls and out into the room
- better performance and pacing of all playback, more immediacy and realism in the presentation of the most subtle to the most demanding dynamics in all sorts of music
- improved tonal correctness and ‘color of sound’ (hearing the different materials for drum heads, stick and mallet types, brushes, bows, etc….gold/silver/brass/no finish on trumpet, sax, etc…guitar, piano, violin and bass (double and electric) all rendered in an utterly real and transparent/correct way
- immediacy and pacing of the music; ultra-correct and realistic
- tightness and correctness of the image and improved ability to locate instruments, voices, etc….both individually and in ensemble and have them be what seems to see to be a more correct sizing
Frankly, I expected improvement, bigger in some areas than in othheers but what I heard amazed me as this cord pushed so many areas up on the
scale of playback quality simply through attaching it to one device at a time that I was and still am, shocked by what I heard.
From a ‘power conditioner’ point of view, this has just the right amount of QR/BB for noise elimination the right amount of
current flow and increased dynamic ability for current draw and whatever else amps and LPSUs need to sound their absolute
best.
In short, the most amazing single power cord + conditioning all in one cable for current-draw needs for amps of all kinds
(Even digital amps embedded in active speakers by the way) and LPSUs driving other core components. The effects and sound
quality improvements are not subtle and you won’t have to wait to hear them. The only way to equal it or better would be to be
fortunate enough to have individual TYPHON QRs for each amplifier you have and go 1:1 as is the case with a good friend
here who has 3 TYPHON QRs believe it or not (1 to drive his TRITON V3 and 1 each for his mono blocks)
and is very fortunate and flying in very rarefied airspace as it were :-) !!!
Obvious questions answered:
Going forward at least until Caelin beats the combination, the TRITON V3 and TYPHON QR for transport, DAC, master clock
and pre-amp/processors to me is still the bar for top performance for non-amplifier and non-LPSU devices The OMEGA is excellent
when powering these devices however to my ears I will keep front-end devices plugged into the TRITON V3 and TYPHON QR.
For amplifiers of all types and LPSUs, the OMEGA QR is the cable to beat at its price point and much higher one for direct-to-wall connections.
I will be watching for the cascade of lessons learned in perfecting this OMEGA QR power cord to be brought to
future releases of other cords at more moderate price points rumored to be in the brainstorming process.
One word not the price of the OMEGA QR: yes, it a new price range for Shunyata for a pc; having heard many others at equal
and even higher price points, all of those vendors should be quite worried about what Caelin and team have packed into this
OMEGA QR and the Uber-musical results at a high, but responsible price.
Caelin and the team at Shunyata are ‘on a roll’ doing what I would say and I have heard in musical result is the best work of their careers!
I am grateful I had the opportunity to demo this cord for a few days. It was truly painful to put it in the box and ship

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Quite a write up. Good job. We have similar Shunyata setups, but I also have Shunyata gear on my amps. Each amp is on a dedicated 20 amp line, and while they sounded great like that, the addition of a Denali 2000 on each amp truly makes them shine. However, I might look into this new power cord for the amps since it will eliminate two Denali 2000 boxes, and four power cords, although two will be replaced by the Omega. That is a big reduction in gear and space needed. Thanks for the review.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
I can only imagine...the thing is, you get used to the "sound" with the new gear as "normal" pretty quickly, and then when you have to take it out, you have to re-adjust once again to a lesser level of performance. Takes a while to get re-acclimated to that level again.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Thank you posting your detailed impressions . It sounds like Shunyata has another winner on their hands and thrown down the gauntlet with the Omega QR.
In terms of flagship and statement power cords.
I have a few questions.
I assume you ran this cord from the amp(s) directly into the wall? Bypassing your Triton V3?
If so, does Caelin and the team at Shunyata have or will have a solution for customers that want their best power on the conditioner to the wall?
For example, I wouldn't plug an Omega QR into my Triton to only have the cable to the wall being a Sigma.
Not like there is anything wrong with the Sigma cable. But, in this example its now the "weakest" link in the chain.
Finally,
And perhaps if Caelin sees this one.
Given the positive feedback on the QR technology and how it interacts with amplifiers.
Could this technology be used in a speaker cable? For example , an Omega QR flagship speaker cable?
In theory could this technology store and release more "current" or energy from the amp to the loudspeaker?
Similar to how MIT does it but using your QB tech instead of networks w/ capacitors?

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
A few clarifications....the following gear was plugged into my TRITON V3 and TYPHON QR stack prior to the Omega's arrival;
- Transport
- DAC
- Master Clock
- LPSU for Legacy Wavelet active crossover, RoomEQ, etc....
The following was plugged directly into the wall before the OMEGA QR arrived;
5 - amp connections (2 for Foundation Woofer/Sub cabinets, 2 for Caliber XD custom-build (dual mid-woofers, passive radiator and dual internal amps and 1 connect for the
Legacy Powerbloc2 that drives the high frequencies
More details on testing;
Transport, DAC and clock: were plugged in to the TRITON V3 & TYPHON QR combination. Tested each one individually with the OMEGA QR by unplugging them from the TRITON v3/TYPHON QR stack one at a time and going direct to the wall. The OMEGA definitely performed very well with front-end components and I could hear some improvements in center stage imaging and density of sound stage for the transport and DAC however for front-end components the TRITON V3 and TYPHON QR together won the day for D->A front-end components at least here in my setup.
Master Clock: no net benefit that I could perceive from taking the clock straight to the wall with OMEGA QR. I did not spend a lot of time with this scenario in all honesty. I will be leaving the clock plugged into the stack. I think the OMEGA QR or any other $9K or above power cord is simply too much expense to put behind a clock power cable as insane as I am about power cords in general. I apply this belief today with another mid-level power cord with the clock as it's enough. I will say however, that I will wait for the downstream updates for Sigma and Alpha based upon lessons learned from Omega and will try this test again!
custom LPSU (HDPlex latest generation) for Legacy Wavelet: the quality of results of going straight to the wall with OMEGA QR from this LPSU surprised me as it's not an amplifier but it did react very well viz. the Wavelet's behavior and impact as the nerve center of my active speaker setup. It would be near impossible to say whether using OMEGA QR instead of plugging this into the TRITON+TYPHON stack was better by any substantial margin as the latter is such a kicking combination however use of the OMEGA QR did impress me very much.
Any amplifier (5 points of testing amplifier connects direct to the wall in my system): spent much time testing all the combinations with exemplary result. The OMEGA QR really delivers and excels powering amps of any kind.
Substitute OMEGA QR for TYPHON QR to power TRITON V3: I did not run this test so cannot speak to any result for this scenario. While the new connectors, new wire and overall topology of the cable is superior, I did not try this test as there is so much more QR/BB technology in the TYPHON QR, I did not see how the OMEGA QR could beat it. That stated, with the discontinuation of the TYPHON QR, I do see how the OMEGA QR would become the go-to choice for connecting power conditioners to the wall.
For the rest of the questions we should get Caelin's feedback.Legacy Audio Valor+Wavelet v2, Esoteric S-02 Amps HDPlex 300W, RevAudio Labs DC Umbilical, Esoteric Grandioso P1, P1PSU & dual D1 DACs, Cybershaft Prem Ltd OP21A 10 MHz Clock, Esoteric C-02X, Shunyata Everest 8000 & Altaira SG-NR hubs, Sigma SGC/CGC ground cables, VTX-Ag ground tails, AfterBurner8 duplexes, CSP Inc Q4B, S2B IEC plates, Shunyata Omega CLOCK-50 cables, Tubulus Concentus HDMI, Elrod Master Series Diamond SE & Masters Series Gold Power cords and Statement Gold XLRs, Diamond XLRs & Master Series Diamond XLRs, Shunyata OMEGA QR-s power cable, Anaconda Z-tron XLR, Elrod Statement Gold speaker cables, Adona Zero GX3, GX2, GX racks, Composite Audio CF-2010, Townshend Audio Podiums, HRS DPX Damping Plates, Stillpoints Ultra SS w/Ultra Bases, pArtScience 64-well, 2D QRD 3-inch SpaceArray Diffusors

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
They won't even sell me a Denali 6000/S v2 so the chances of them selling me a Omega QR are probably about the same. Never-the-less I still liked reading the demo report.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
Do you have any Dragon HC cables on hand as well to compare?
I know cables are subjective and one brand could have better synergy than the other depending on one's system.
However, I thought I recall a while back yourself or perhaps other members stating AQ Dragon was the champ in terms of resolution and transparency.
My curiosity is now with the new conductor in Omega QR. Has Shunyata not only equaled or surpassed Dragon's transparency and resolution.
But, is the QR tech also effectively supercharging the amps dynamics in the process.
Looking forward to your impressions.

Re: NEW - Shunyata Omega
I phoned a local "dealer" yesterday. The salesman had never heard of Shunyata before, nor had he any idea what a clock cable was. So I pointed them towards the national distributor. The local Shunyata dealer in my neighborhood doesn't even mention on their website they are a Shunyata dealer, nor do they have any Shunyata products on their website. Nor do they stock anything I can demo.
That is the sort of inertia I have to deal with in this part of the world.
