Re: Which Shunyata pc to which component recommendations
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I think the main question will be which cable to use with the Triton - Alpha NR V1 or Alpha Etron HC.
Alpha NR V1 is 8awg. While Alpha HC is 2 x 10awg.
So I will try feeding the Triton with the Alpha HC first - as it should give more current flow.
The next obvious thing will be to use as many of the newer NR cables as possible. With priority to pre-amp and source components.
If you guys have any thoughts - let me know.

Re: Which Shunyata pc to which component recommendations
After testing - best is Alpha HC to Triton.
Alpha NR to source, pre, amp.
When Alpha NR is feeding the Triton - feels like some energy is lost and the overall experience doesn't have the same impact.
Thanks for the help gents.
