Shunyata while still expensive it seems to be a more reasonable value. The only problem is there is no demo. I buy and return if I don't like. That's a crummy thing to do to a internet store. One or two cables shouldn't be that bad, but 5 interconnects, custom speaker cable lengths, and infinite power cables makes me feel like a jerk to order with intent on possible ordering.
In the meantime I ordered one Delta NR power cable, but just one cable probably won't do much for me either. Even if I get nordost I could put the shunyata in the living room AVR.

You have to start somewhere, start with the one power cable feeding your distribution, then build other power to components, from there onto the speaker then the interconnect.
Your dealing with great quality-built products, also, many on here like Wireworld which is another quality-built product, and believe all three are great options, but choice one and move on, if you never decide you will end up going crazy.
I do believe to sticking with with one brand to make the loom tighter. Since my August post and RMAF I have converted to all Nordost in my 2 channel, running all Frey 2 interconnect and component power, Tyr 2 Power for amps and now pulling the trigger on Valhalla 2 Speaker - differences heard along the way.
Shunyata has been repurposed in my AV which made a difference.
In the end, all these are expensive, I don’t believe you can make a bad decision, again as they are all good products.
Only giving my story to help you understand what I did; right, wrong or indifferent.
I am personally very happy with both brands I own, no regrets - hope this helps in some way.
