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 Research Gemini 4 port in and ready to audition. The GEMINI Model-4 is a unique product that is actually two devices in a single chassis. It includes both a high performance power conditioner and an advanced ground noise reduction hub. The GEMINI Model-4 is the perfect solution for simpler high-end systems, headphone systems and for network closets. Headphones are particularly sensitive to power line noise and ground plane noise. The GEMINI Model-4 has a small footprint, it is a high current device capable of powering 200+ watt amplifiers.

We have the new New Shunyata Research Typhon T2. The two-outlet Typhon T2 is a one-of-a-kind product with three dynamic and unique functions. When the Typhon T2 is connected as a stand-alone two-outlet reference power distributor it will super-charge the performance of even the world’s most demanding amplifiers. The Typhon T2 also comes equipped to receive an optional Performance or Reference level umbilical, allowing it to be connected in-line to any Shunyata power-distributor as a performance force-multiplier of the first order. Lastly, simple, reference-level two or three-component systems won’t find a better solution for performance than the Typhon T2. Typhon T2 is guaranteed to elevate the performance of amplifiers or entire systems beyond any and all expectation.

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!
