Most people have no ideas what the properties are of each brand and even cable. Differences are huge. When you have no idea what the properties are of each single part in your audio system you never will understand which properties they own. And why the stage and sound of your audio system is what you hear.
Shunyata is incomplete based on the fact that sound owns more different properties. We have ideas to demonstrate audio to a new and superior level. Then we can proof based on facts what is missing.
We want to use and compare real music and sound vs audiosystems. The way how we work and think we can get a lot more closer to how music sounds in real.
There is so much more information and diversity in recordings than most audio systems can reveal. This information what is often missing creates a much higher emotional experience during listening to music. When an audio system is able to let you hear this extra information.
For example the new AQ conditioners are also found incomplete during my tests. This means that I was missing essential parts on which sound is founded.
In the past we tested the Anaconda and Phyton. The Purist Audio Limited Edition were superior to these cables.
For the first time I think I found a good competitor to the Purist Audio powercables and that are the new AQ powercables.
In 2010 I already said to AQ that they need to use more AWG. I am glad they changed it. Their technique and material were already good, but they were much too thin.
