Shunyata now uses silver ???...


I’ve been a long time fan of the Shunyata brand of cables. One of the rare real science audiophile cable makers, with relatively speaking reasonable prices also.

Shunyata has always turned away from silver. All these years of upgrading their lines...first came the helix virtual tube copper conductors, then the vtx conductors ( simpler virtual tubes) , then the revolution ary Ztron circuit eliminating skin lost of signal, then the even more revolutionary noise reduction circuits.

I’ve followed Caelin journey and numerous posts on forums. He always sweared they tried silver conductors and it never came as a solution to better sound compared to their premium copper. Never. And he also always sweared by their vtx air core surrounded by copper conductors.

And now what, their new line of reference power cables uses what.... SILVER conductors !??? And guess what, they decided to put them inside the virtual air core of the vtx conductors....which are not really vtx conductors anymore when you objectively  realise the truth.....because they filled the empty air core with a darn isolated silver wire !!...

I really think Shunyata have lost it this time... The logic in their science is no more.
My two cents.
A long time customer, now very perplex about their choices.

The logic in their science is no more.

The logic in their science never was. I met the guy, was there at the start, have some of his cables. Not to single him out as they are all like this to some extent- they all know everyone wants a story, as otherwise they have to learn to hear, which is hard. The last story anyone wants to hear is the true one, that they really have no clue just wild guesses and theories they try out and the vast majority of which fail. Which is what I have been saying for like 20 years at lest, probably closer to 30, and that is how I know for dead certain nobody wants to hear the truth.

Now their "logic in their science" narrative is shattered, it should be clear as anything there never was any science... and yet my bet is still you choose the Kool-aid over the truth. Well if its any consolation you are not alone. 


Look on the bright side for a second, guys, silver is a better conductor than copper. That’s got to count for something.

It's almost like it was almost just all marketing speak huh ....
