Congratulations, Tony. My guess is that you'll have some good listening to look forward to.

Thanks guys, impressions already posted a couple of months ago, further back in this thread. Shunyata uses a proprietary process called KPIP, which pretty much eliminates the need for any extended burn-in - I’ve found the sound doesn’t really change meaningfully over time, so I have no post-break-in impressions to report.

I replaced a 7m run of Anaconda Zitron with Sigma for a clear improvement in transparency and a significant improvement in tonal depth. I may be understating the move from Cobra. :-o The Alpha SC (which I have not heard) is similar to Sigma (6ga vs 7ga + HARP) and may be in the value sweet spot, but try the Sigma if you have an opportunity. They still may be on sale. |

Thanks Tim, I missed this post. I’ll put the Sigmas on the list and see if I can swing them when the time comes.

I have tested Alpha level (various),...they are "the" sweet spot at a great price in the line. Sigma is wonderful but if budgets don't allow, Alpha, IMHO gets you damned close!

Shunyata's current 20%-off promotion finally got me to pull the trigger on an Alpha NR pc for my preamp (to replace my Harmonic Technology pc), and a pair of Alpha speaker cables (to replace my ancient MIT Shotgun SCs)! They should arrive sometime in January. A treat to start the new year! Thanks, Ivan!
