Thanks Mike! They sure look good.

Very sexy.

Nice photos, too!

If folks look closely, the 3rd and 5th photos from the very top are the new Alpha XC and Sigma XC power cables. The new XC series are specifically designed for power conditioners.

Any ideas what the differences are between the XC series and the NR? No noise filtering?

The XC series was designed to provide maximal current as instantaneously as possible (DTCD) for power distributors. DTCD is the no. 1 requirement for power cords powering power distributors. It does not have noise reducion.

The purpose of the NR series of power cords is to power components, and to prevent noise from inside the power supplies of the amplification or source components, from coming back out, only to be re-distributed within the power conditioner to other componentry. This is why the NR filter is at the component end of the power cord; to reduce the noise at its source. This provides another level of component-to-component noise isolation.

As the power distributor is not an amplification or source component with a power supply, it does not require an NR power cord.

The NR series of power cords were also designed to provide NR for components that may be plugged straight into the wall, e.g. monoblocks, that may be located near speakers, and may not be close enough to connect to a noise reducing power distributor in an audio rack.

When deployed with a Denali 6000/S v2 only the XC is required on input and outputs?

I would say XC from wall to Denali. But use NR’s from Denali to components. Remember, components create noise on the line.

I thought the new Denali had the CCI filter on each output, as an upgrade over the previous Denali where each output pair shared a CCI filter. Which I thought would make use of NR power cables obsolete.

What Mike said. XC as the power cord for Denali.

In Q4 2019, Shunyata simplified the power cable product portfolio to make it easier for customers to detemine which type of power cord to use for which application:

1. Power cable for power conditioners/distributors: XC
2. Power cable for components: NR

Bingo.

Hi Brodric,
Yes, you are corret that Denali V2 has CCI filters on each outlet, as opposed to CCI on the pairs of receptacle on Series 1 Denali.

However, noise is pervasive and insidious, and can enter anywhere along a power distribution system.

1) The NR filters at the distributor end prevent from entering components from the AC Mains. The most effective location to attenuate this noise is at the power distributor end.

2) The NR filter at the component end prevents noise from the component end getting back into the power distributor. The most effective location to attenuate the noise from the component's internal power supply is at the component end.


Hope that helps to clarify the design rationale.

Oh, you ended up finding a dealer to sell you one? Congrats bud!

 

[brodricj]

No I didn't. Nothing has changed. Nobody will sell me one.

 

[nonesup]

I was lucky, mine arrived yesterday

 

[brodricj]

It does, sort of, but not really. In any event it's all hypothetical for me because nobody will sell me a Denali.

Does Australia have some type of unsupported AC power?

 

[brodricj]

The difficulty is the national distributor won't put it through local electrical certification requirements. Unless they do that, it can't be sold in this market.

Shunyata interconnects are supported here, and I'm happy with local arrangements for sourcing those.

Can't you buy one on the used market from another area with the same voltages?
