Shunyata Reference Series V2

I’ve been trying out the new Alpha V2s NR over the last few days. These cables are impressive. No need to repeat what others have shared on this thread but I can say that impressive is an understatement.
 
Good! I'm upgrading my setup from Sigma V1 Digitals and HC's to Alpha 2 NR's and Sigma XC's and considering the outlay and the wait for EU delivery you begin to question, did I do the right thing. But your comment give me hope I'm on the right track. :)
 
Understand the Sigma EX benefit over Sigma NR in to PD from a current delivery perspective - just curious how much that would benefit a low power amp/high efficiency speaker set up?

I'm running 8 watt monoblock 300B amps into a V3 fed by a Typhon QR and Sigma NR PC.

I just upgraded from an Alpha NR to the Sigma NR last year so selling the Sigma NR to replace with the Sigma EX would be a big hit.
 
With the description of the testimonials so far it seems XC affect both low current sources as well as amps with its more "energized" character(?)
 
The Alpha V2s are terrific. I ordered 4 for my new amps. They are that good!
 
Ha, Ha! No she hasn’t. Although, if Mike gets 4 he’s likely to bring them over and make sure she gets to hear them.
 
Yes, Sigma Schuko (EU) cables have had CopperCONN since V1.

It's only the EU PD's that doesn't have CopperCONN outlets.

There was never any need to produce our own EU CEE 7/7 sockets since we found an excellent one produced by a German company. The construction of the socket is excellent with good grip and contact integrity and the contacts are made from a high quality copper alloy. Also the sockets use an excellent method of directly bonding very large gauge electrical wires to the socket without the use of ferrules or tiny spades.
 
New to the Shunyata family here!--after reading the excellent reports and noting the Mfg involvement in the comments--so reassuring there!--

I sold my NBS Statement PowerCords and ordered a set of Venom NR V10 and 12's to start the "loom" off--but bit concerned now

as I read yesterday on another Forum,that the circuitry in the Plugs and the NR enabling capabilities cause dynamics and sonics to suffer?

Would I have been better to go for the non NR Range?

Thank you for any suggestions,

Bruce

Bruce - I have 4 Alpha V2 NRs connected to my amps. I have not seen/heard any issues with dynamics and negative impact to sonics. I liked them so much after trying them out, I bought them. You will not be disappointed.

Cheers!
 
Yes. Shunyata gear makes amps sound better. My amps each have a dedicated 20 amp line, and sounded great. I added a Denali 2000 to each amp, and they sounded even better.

I have 2 Shunyata cables, Delta NR for amplifier and Venom NR V10 for Lumin. Excellent cables, sound much better than my previous cables (Wireworld Electra 7)
 
HI Guys,

Thank you for the update and observations on my Query--Yep I'll get them installed and all should be kosher.

Much appreciated for the positive comments on the items.

Has anyone had a chance to compare the Delta V2 NR to the Alpha V2 NR? Alpha's look to be roughly double the cost - wondering how close the Delta's might get to Alpha at a 50% haircut in price....

The Delta NR v2 is really excellent, an outstanding power cord and a superb value with respect to performance for the price.

The Alpha NR v2, though, is on another level altogether.

Puma, correct me if I'm wrong but, stepping up the Alpha level where is the Zitron technology makes its debut.

So, alpha is much more resolving (less distortion) than delta as a result.
