Shunyata Sigma NR v2 Power Cord review

[mrenardsmith]

Hello all. I’m new to the forum but a long time Shunyata user. I recently upgraded from Hydra 8v2 with Anaconda and Python CX cables to a Triton V3 / Typhon QR with Sigma EF feeding the Typhon and Sigma NR’s on all of the components. I have an all analog system with a tube phono stage (BAT VKP10-SE with SuperPak) and a tube hybrid integrated amp (BAT-VK-3000SE). I’ve been thinking about the new power cords and have an Alpha NR v2 I’ve been trying with the phono stage. In the past, there seemed to be a suggestion that the EF cords may be better for tubes. Is that the same for the new XC cords? Been debating on whether to try a Sigma EF in lieu of the Alpha V2. I’ve seen the great reviews on the new cords, but the Sigma prices haven’t really come down which makes me wonder if trading a Sigma v1 for an Alpha v2 is a good trade. I also have Sigma NR v1 on two Rel Subs and wonder if I’m better trading those for one sigma xc for the Triton/Typhon. Appreciate any thoughts.
