Well ... what else could I have asked for you might wonder? Because of the delay and confusion Shunyata included two sets of the Dark Field Suspension System at no charge! WOW is all I can say both to their service and the Sigma's! I'll follow up with my impression of the Sigma's once I get some time on them but right out of the box it is apparent these cables are already the best I've heard!

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!

George

I am having the same experience with 2 SIGMA 110 ohm AES cables. They are without a doubt THE best digital cables I have ever heard!

KPIP processing is the real deal,...day1 was amazing and defied description,....after break in, even better. Shunyata is about to distinguish themselves in the industry with their new distal and clock digital cables!

Question: I see in your gear description, you have or have had MIT & TA cables. Did you replace them with Shunyatas? If so, please fortify me with your observations.

I haven't heard the MIT & TA cables you're referring to, but the new V2 Alpha speaker cables now feature the Shunyata HARP technology. I'm using the new Alphas at home in my system, and they're amazing.

I've arranged demos for a couple friends of the HARP technology and let's just say it completely twisted their heads around. As in, they couldn't stop talking about it, afterward. Everytime we chatted on the phone after the demo, they kept bringing up HARP.

If you haven't heard what these will do, rent in a pair.

Very interesting. How / where do you rent these V2 Alpha speaker cables? Thanks.

Thank you. I'm rather excited about the notion of adding Shunyata to the system...

I might not be much help as I ended up going the other way. Got the Sigma's in and was happy until a friend brought over his MIT cables. Oooops! I ended up going all in at the Oracle level SC and IC but at quite the cost.

Thanks

George
