Category: Power Cables

We have the new flagship Shunyata Research Omega line of signal cables and power cables in our upstairs listening room (currently driving the Moon by Simaudio North Collection). These are truly amazing cables that enhances the listening experience with the North Collection of components. They represent the full realization of the Shunyata vision of signal and power technology.

We have the new Shunyata Research Gamma and Theta Series of cables (replacing the original discontinued Venom series). Once again Shunyata has upped their game and made great improvements over their predecessor. Come in and audition these new power cable and signal cables from Shunyata Research.

We have the Shunyata Research grounding system set-up (and available for home trial) in our main upstairs sound room. Richard and Cassandra of Shunyata Research made the trip down last week to set it all up. This is a very easy A/B comparison set up, just unplug the Grounding wires/plug back in and you can immediately hear the difference. You can read more about it here and download a review of it here.

We have the new Shunyata Altaira Ground System that is currently gracing the latest cover of The Absolute Sound (Jan 2023), and we’d love to discuss it with you. Shunyata Research has put together a system roadmap that you can peruse, or come in discuss this new groundbreaking system with our team. This amazing system just won the TAS 2022 Product of the Year award. Contact us for more information.

Shunyata Research has just released a slew of new products in the past couple of weeks, including the XC series power cables, and v2 NR series power cables. We are not currently showing the new Omega series, but do have the Venom, Delta, Alpha, and Sigma series. These have once again raised the bar for what is possible from power cables. We look forward to showcasing these great new products for you! You can download a pdf of a recent review of the v2 version of the Shunyata Research Delta NR power cable here. We also have the newly released Shunyata Research reference vertical power distributor Shunyta Research Everest 8000, featuring 8 outlets with the technology used in the Hydra Triton and Typhon designs. Contact us if you are interested in this new exciting reference product. Check out our page on this amazing featured product here.

We have the brand new Shunyata Venom NR series power cords in stock in both the 12 gauge and 10 gauge versions. We’ve been putting them into use and are already VERY impressed with the results. Definitely worth an audition!

The latest issue of The Absolute Sound showing casing the Product of the Year 2015, has products carried by Portland’s Stereotypes Audio well represented. For AC Power Cord of the Year, our Shunyata Sigma power cord (in analog or digital, HC) got top nods. The Kimber Select cable line received top “Interconnects & Cables of the year” with the KS 6068 speaker wire, KS 1036 RCA interconnects and KS 1136 balanced interconnects. In the Portable DAC of the year, the Chord Hugo takes top nods. This is a great battery powered DAC for on the road, or even at home with DSD 128 and up to 384kHz PCM. And for those that want ‘more bass’, the JL Audio Gotham and CR-1 Crossover take “Cost No Object” sub of the year. While were not currently running the Gotham with the CR-1, we have tried it with our new JL Audio Fathom v2 and it sounds fantastic! And our new Harbeth SuperHL5plus Loudspeaker took “Upper-End Stand-Mount Loudspeaker” of the year. Thinking of going vinyl? Our Rega RP-10 took their top honors for “Mid-Priced Turntable of the Year”, but we have turntables at nearly every price point… especially at the entry level range. And always in the ‘overachiever’ category is the Rogue line up of products, our Rogue Audio RP-5 took “Affordable Preamplifier of the Year” award for best tubed line stage. As always, there were several top products that we carry feeling ‘robbed’ for not garnering their own top honors, but we couldn’t be greedy and take all of the awards home. Come check out these top products and take home a great present to put under your favorite music fans tree this year! (more…)

Shunyata Research has been on a roll lately, with their new Sigma line of power cords that stops component noise at the source… the actual component. 15 years of in the making of evolutionary design advancements has brought about their most radical change yet! And you have to hear the difference to believe it. While noise does come from outside of the home, most occurs from within the home, and especially from each component themselves. Shunyata refers to this as CCI (Component-to-Component-Interference), you can learn more about it with their video here. These new Analog, Digital and High Current cables have all of the most advanced Shunyata technology built into them, with their highest performing ΞTRON™ circuits, VTX wire, and new Sigma tech. Each cable is specifically designed for that type of component, stopping component noise at it’s source to alleviate cross component contamination.

One of the benefits of being in the NW, is the close proximity to some wonderful HiFi makers. Case in point, Shunyata Research up in Poulsbo, WA. We had an informative visit from Richard of Shunyata today, and he left us with a whole stack of goodies! Shunyata Research’s new reference power distribution Hydra Triton+Typhon! These are on loan for us to demo this month, so now is your chance to check out what all of the press is going crazy about! (review here) The Shunyata Triton was already an amazing product, but designer Caelin Gabriel decided to take it to the next level with a no limits two box option, adding on the Shunyata Typhon and connecting it with an Anaconda umbilical chord. While you could spring for the whole set up, you can also take a ‘build as you go’ approach. This combination reaches reference levels never before seen in a Shunyata product. But the real test is in what it does for your music. Come in to hear about this amazing set up and hear an audition before they make us send the complete setup back!
