Best Shunyata Power Cord for.,,

not that familiar with current or past product lines. looking for opinions as to their best HC cords that are pure and not for softening. To be used on an AQ Niagara 7000 and Agostino amp. The latest AQ cords way to stiff. I don’t want the crazy priced cords like Sigma etc. The new Alpha NR( list $1500) a good candidate or would an older model be better? Really would appreciate hearing from long term Shunyata guys.

4425, You have Niagra 7000 which is great and your amp is one of the best. As you know,  the cord to connect the power conditioner to the wall ac is very important for your hi level equipment. to get  the best sound possible.

 I have denali 6000T, and I tired Alpha HC, Alpha NR on it  but until I got the Sigma HC I did not hear full potential of my denali and gear connected to it (gryphon diablo 300). Try to find a used sigma HC or new NR for a great price you will not regret it. You can pm me for a great shunyata dealer that is also AQ dealer.

A new Delta NR is working great on my CD player. After swapping a Venom HC for the Delta NR, there was a noticeable reduction in digital etch. However, when I tried the Delta NR from the wall to my Audioquest Niagara 1000, I could not hear any difference whatsoever versus a Venom HC. If you believe that experiments on the lower end of a brand's line scale up, then the Alpha NR is probably suboptimal for a Niagara 7000. If it were me and I owned a 7000, I would find a way to get the Sigma NR, preferably with a money back guarantee. You might find that a lowly Venom HC is enough to the power conditioner because the 7000 does so much of the system's work.

If you want unfiltered then get the Sigma EF. Its also even more flexible than the NR's.
