    Shunyata Alpha V2

    Come to the Florida Audio Expo Room 1213 to hear a full loom of the new Shunyata Alpha V2. We have been breaking this cable in and it betters Sigma v1 IMO.

    Nice. Can you put that side-by-side with the Omega? Would like to see how it compares in terms of thickness.

    Re: Shunyata Alpha V2

    We are using everything at the show in different rooms. Just to let you know, the Alpha V2 gauge is the same as the Sigma V1 gauge now.

    Re: Shunyata Alpha V2

    Mike, can we expect the V2 treatment coming to the rest of the Shunyata line? Will this be just for power cables or speaker and interconnect cables, too?

    The new Shunyata Venom HC Version 2 power cables are presently on the market, also, and I can tell you from personal experience, this $295 power cable is NOT to be underestimated. With OFE Copper conducters, flourocarbon dielectrics, and copper connectors, its like a huge nugget of gold sitting right there on the ground in front of folks; its performance/dollar is off-the-charts. Will be doing a write-up shortly.

    Will you be comparing this by any chance to the Shunyata Deltas?

    My first comparison will likely be to the Venom NR-V10.

    Clarification on availability of the new v2 power cords. It looks like March/April. They are still ramping up production.
