Default Shunyata delivery and first impressions
Today I received an Omega XC, a pair of Sigma V2 NRs, a pair of Venom Defenders, and a trio of SR-Z1 outlets.

An additional two dedicated 20 amp lines will be installed next week; each amp will be on its own circuit and use a Sigma V2 NR, sharing the outlet with a Defender.

The Omega XC will run the Denali on its own circuit, which powers the front end (Vivaldi stack and D’Agostino preamp). Front end cords from the Denali are all Stealth Dream (two V18s, a V12, and a V10).

I think I have my power end state setup...

I won’t get to hear the end state configuration until the dedicated circuits go in - the amps are running out of the Denali right now. But, it sounds so much more clear, precise and powerful now.

This was a bit ‘o coin, but worth every damn cent...

At this moment, Pneuma by Tool has my ass absolutely pinned to the couch...

Slainte,

Mitch

Mitch,
Congratulations on the beautiful set-up. Curious why you chose Stealth Dream cables for your front end PCs and Shunyata Omega and Sigma for others. Have you tried the Shunyata PCs for the front end components?

It kinda just evolved that way. I had everything on Stealth cables and d#coded to simplify the system, and have 2 new 20 amp circuits put in, so I set about to optimize the amp to wall connections, and the Denali supply cord, and Shunyata was the obvious and highly recommended solution.

I might someday put some Shunyata cords on the front end, but I will let the new configuration settle in before I make that call.

Congrats! but wait until it all breaks in! Shunyata always surprises me when I get to 100 hours or so.

Thanks, I’m keeping track of the playing time and have a special beer reserved for the 100 hour mark...

Congratulations.

You may want to reserve another beer for ~140 hours, if my experience with the Delta V2s (both the XC and NR iterations) is any guide.

Another beer is never a problem...I’ve spent the day listening to a couple songs I know by heart over and over again...something new pops outta the speakers on every listen.

Life is good...
