The ALPHA-X is the entry point to Shunyata Research’s “Reference Series” power cords. The ALPHA-X, along with the other X cables, represents the culmination of a 25-year quest to produce the absolute finest performing power cables available.
The ALPHA-X elevates the performance of recording and playback systems beyond the most optimistic expectations. They feature patented and proprietary technologies not available in competing products. Shunyata Research’s NR technology measurably reduces power line noise and has been proven effective in the most demanding medical and professional recording applications.
The profound ability of the ALPHA-X power cables to eliminate electrical noise and reduce micro-distortions unveils multiple layers of previously obscured musical cues within the recording – forging a more immersive and lifelike connection to your favorite music. ALPHA-X imbues the music with a greater sense of timing accuracy, dynamic contrast and dimensional impact. They impart an unmistakable sense of living presence and coherence to reproduced sound and imagery. The ALPHA-X’s immediate signature is apparent as an ineffable sense of quiet within the sound, along with an almost paradoxically startling punctuation of dynamic contrasts.
A system of ALPHA-X power cables will remove a large portion of the compression and artifice that separates the live listening experience from that of electronic reproduction.
