Which Shunyata Power Cord?

Which Shunyata cord under $1k has great soundstage and warm tone?

New or used, new or old.

@audphile1 what are your other cables? I don't find the Shunyata Alpha V2 XC bright whatsoever.  Maybe you're getting some bad interactions with other cables in your system.

From the Shunyata Research applications page...The Alpha XC is an ideal power cable for your Shunyata Research power conditioner while the Alpha v2 NR provides noise reduction for all of the source equipment like CD players, DACs, tuners, amps, and preamplifiers.

Your Pass is a very fine amp and would have been better suited with a Alpha v2 NR instead in my opinion.

Maybe you should have tried it on your Puritan Audio Labs PSM156...

You should check out Triode Wire Labs. Pretty sure they offer a generous trial period and good value as they sell direct. Best of luck.

@aolmrd1241 I need to amend my earlier post. I thought it was the XC version but I double checked my email and my music direct order was for the alpha v2 nr in 1.75m. Sorry for the confusion. But it is the NR that turned my XA30.8 into a fatiguing beast.

Wow! I use one on my Coda 8 and the pairing is superb. Just goes to show it’s always best to try before you buy.

As a matter of fact I liked the pairing so well that I am replacing the Alpha v2 nr with a Sigma v2 nr soon.
