Cyclops replacement

[ChrisG]

I've heard that Shunyata has discontinued the Cyclops and has something new coming out next month. Does anyone know what's replacing it?

Good to know but I like my Cyclops

[Still-One]

It is supposed to do more and I am sure cost more too.

Since I use a Cyclops v2 on each amp, that means two Cyclops, and four power cords. That adds up in price, but does it work great. Anyway, I suggested they add a single side of the Cyclops into a cable, such as the Sigma HC. That would provide the benefit of the Cyclops, and only require one cable per amp. Whether they are doing that or not, I have no idea, but if they do then I guess I will buy two, and sell the Cyclops and cables.

I do know that the replacement will retail for $3K, so maybe they are adding a cable...that said, I know that CG was asking on another forum if people are interested in a Typhon with outlets, so maybe it is a downsized Typhon with outlets? Guess we'll have to wait a whole week until CES to find out!

Hmmm, was thinking of getting a cyclops to compare against my running springs Duke on my Pass XA100.5's (only have a single outlet for the room) but I guess I'll wait to see what Shunyata has in the works.

[MisterBritt]

Just curious. Why do you use a Cyclops V2 on each amp rather than a single Cyclops V2 for both amps?

Because each amp is on its own circuit.
