Shunyata Alpha-X and Sigma-X Power Cables

Do you mean the X-QR series?

The Alpha-X and Sigma-X are new power product lines that replace the "legacy" Alpha V2 and Sigma V2 line of power cables. The first set of products with "-X" designation was the Venom-X line of cables, which replaced the long-standing Venom line of cables,

Just a side note: but the Venom-X (V-x) product line was a veritable breakthrough when it was launched (back 2022, IIRC?), and outperformed cable lines at the time that were priced at multiples of it's price tier. The Venom-X Product line also encompassed signal cables and speaker cables as well as power cords, and I'm presently using Venom-X XLR ICs to connect my Lumin P1 to my Constellation Inspiration integrated, and a V-x PC to power cable my Gemini in the remote server room, and am very satisfied with their performance, so I can only imagine how good the Alpha-X and Sigma-X PCs are.

Folks interested in these new lines of power cables should check with Mike, but my hypothesis is that Alpha-X and Sigma-X power cables significantly extend and expand the functional, engineering, and audio quality performance above and beyond the legacy Alpha and Sigma V2 lines. For example, they now incorporate TAPc technology, which I presume is an extension of the TAP technology that was originally developed for signal cables, they also have a new 3rd-gen noise reduction (NR) circuit.

Here's a link to the Alpha-X PC product description on Shunyata's website: https://shunyata.com/product/alpha-x-power-cables/

It would be great to have USD prices listed for standard lengths for all models of each.

Standard length for Shunyata PCs is 1.75M

Sigma-X 1.75M: $4000
Alpha-X 1.75M: $2850

BTW, it took approximately 15 seconds to find these prices from a quick Google search. A little research goes a long way.

Used Alpha v2 can be found for less than half the price of a new Alpha-X. That is the value price point for me.
 
We have a plethora of Alpha V2 and Sigma V2 for sale if anyone is interested.

Our new X cables just arrived. Haven’t had a chance to listen yet.

Thank you for posting the prices.

As to the last part, it would have been sufficient to paste the link you found.

I hooked up a Sigma X NR to my DAC to replace an Alpha V2 NR and the sound improvement was immediately noticeable. I liked it so much; I ordered another one for my Aurender to replace a Sigma V2 NR.

The Sigma X QR are supposed to be even better, especially for main power amps, but they had a part shortage, so no one seems to have received them yet to review.
 
So far the word from the dealers and Shunyata is that the new X series should outperform the legacy series even at one level higher. So an alpha x should outperform a Sigma V2. I have heard an Alpha V2 PC outperform a sigma v1 pc by a considerable margin. From my experience interacting with Shunyata and using their products, I have zero reasons to doubt what they are claiming.
 
The problem is I had just purchased a Sigma V2 and Alpha V2 pc which I am totally blown away by its performance but it doesn't feel good to hear that the Sigma X NR is a Omega QR killer : )

YES! We have a full system of X now and I cannot believe how much better they are. Everything is better in spades. 3D. Black backgrounds. Tonal saturation,

Great info, Mike. When you mention you have full system of X now, is that just power cables, or is it a full system comprised of power cables, ICs, and speaker cables?

Thank you.

@Mike great to hear is it Alpha or Sigma X you have hooked up? Haven't heard much feedback on the X series for Alpha/Sigma speaker/ICs, power was told it's a nice jump, very interested to hear. Really appreciate it, thank you.
