Does anyone have experience with Accuphase vs Shunyata power conditioning?

That was my major decision in this hunt - shunyata v. accuphase. Ultimately, I went with the "it never let me down" argument and the increased WAF, but there's lots to be said for Shunyata and lots and lots of great reviews out there. If I didn't have an accuphase system (and a wife commenting on the looks of the beast sitting in our living room), I likely would have gone for Shunyata (Triton/Typhon/et al).

My PS520 has never failed me for years, but now for comparison purpose,
I ordered PS AUDIO P15 to compare it with PS520, the one that I like less, will be moved to HT corner to feed OPPO 4K Player and Marantz AV8805 processor. The winner will feed 2ch corner, which are ARC Ref40 and Ayon CD-35 CD Player. Toga |

Absolute congrats on your purchase. It's been my experience that when they arrive if they haven't already that you will quickly forget the expense as you hear the improvement in your sound. When I did my upgrade (it took me 25 years) I went with AQ Niagara's and Dragon power cords, not because I thought they were the best but because it's what my dealer carried. I have been pleased with the result, though. May I ask their cost and did I overlook what power cords you will be using? Again congratulations! I know you will be extremely pleased.

The cost well less than retail, thanks to Ivan. PM him for pricing.

Looked up Verastarr. Plan on reading more about them. Absolutely beautiful upgrade plan you have. These cables seem of the same extreme quality as the Accuphase power conditioners. Although many folks would deny it, I believe you can hear cables and power conditioners.

They dropped one off the truck, so I have the other sitting in my living room unopened. Now, there’s an audio show In Japan, so not much news on the replacement from there. Should be this month.
