Shunyata Denali Damn!

What led you to formerly deny any effect from power cables and what was it about the Denali that changed your mind (compared to prior experiences with power cables)?

Easy all... it may take a while for me to fully get power cable religion.  Baby steps.  That being said I have been on the IC, USB, Speaker cable train for a long time. 

@calvinandhobbs... less about the power cables than it was with my previous experience with power conditioners & regenerators.  All that I had tried previously suffered from dynamic compression or coated the sound in a thin shell of plastic.  Not a vale but a like a plastic coating like when you turn on all the smoothing on your TV and it makes everything look like a cartoon.  What led me to Shunyata?  The technology and the actual engineering approach that is used in the medical industry.

Could not be more happy with the product.  It's going to be vary hot today so I may need to stay inside!

Long time power cable denier here... I just installed the Denali in my SET based system and holy crap this thing is crazy good! AND I must admit I have been very skeptical of power products ... I am shocked and overwhelmed with how much I like this product ...

That’s a great story and it’s one many audiophiles have experienced. Many of us started out as skeptics, which is why the characterizations of "placebo effect" and "expectation bias" in instances such as this are so silly. The cable industry would lose a substantial portion of its customers if those mechanisms were as powerful as some believe.

"Placebo effect" is real, but it will not cure cancer. Its effect in audio is similarly limited.

Well spoken cleeds

Shunyata products are truly amazing i put one of their cords on my accuphase amplifier and wow the sound went up many levels instantly.
