Shunyata Alpha v2 XC (UK)

Shunyata ALPHA v2 XC

Shunyata Research’s new Reference Line power cords were developed using the same materials science and technologies that make the Omega the market’s ultimate cost-no-object power cord.  The Reference Line power cables are designed to be used with the worlds finest audio components.

There are three levels of performance in the Reference Line starting with the Delta v2 and models.  The Alpha v2 is a level up from the Delta v2 and represents the best price-to-performance in the lineup.  The Sigma v2 takes top honours in the line for those that must have the best. All three Reference models feature Shunyata Research’s exclusive VTX-Ag conductors that combine an ultra pure silver with a concentrically wound layer of OFE copper.  This provides the speed and transparency of silver with the richness, tonal colour and power of pure copper.

Reference XC cables are designed specifically to optimise the performance of Shunyata Research power conditioners.  The Alpha v2 XC cables eschew noise reduction features in favour of enhanced DTCD (dynamic transient current delivery).  Using proprietary conductors and parts developed for the Omega XC, the Alpha v2 XC delivers pace-setting DTCD™ instantaneous current delivery, optimising power conditioner and high-current amplifier performance.

Application: The Alpha v2 XC is an ideal power cable for your Shunyata Research power conditioner while the Alpha v2 NR provides noise reduction to the source components.  The Alpha v2 NR provides great performance for all of the source equipment like CD players, DACs, tuners and preamplifiers.

Fluorocarbon dielectrics are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and only the most expensive audiophile cabling. It has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance.  When used in audio and power cables is reduces the perception of dynamic compression and it improves sonic low-level resolution and clarity.
