To me Shunyata == best science and full transparency, no hyberbole or b.s.

Unique in high end audio....

The v2 Alpha cable has a single TAP module and it has new connectors.
So essentially it has equal or better performance than the prior generation Sigma v1.

Now that v2 is out, I can post this:

The big change is in the speaker cables, where the new conductors are the VTX-Ag conductors. A hollow outer conductor of OFE copper with an inner core conductor of Silver.

Alpha speaker cables now have the HARP technology previously only in the Sigma. Sigma had HARP technology at both ends instead of one end.

Interconnects are keeping the same conductors (VTX, not Ag) but add a layer of technology to each model. Zi-tron is added to Delta. TAP module is added to Alpha and two TAP modules are part of the Sigma model (instead of one).

What is not clear to me is what the new connectors are on Alpha and Sigma v2 interconnects

Clock cable is silver though according to spec.

I should have specified: when I said Interconnects. I was talking about analog XLR interconnects
