MASTERING AN ANALOG SIGNAL FROM A
DIGITAL SOURCE
Alpha-X digital
cables elevate musical reproduction
to levels previously only
experienced with first generation,
purely analog master tapes. Alpha-X
cables are engineered using patented
and proprietary technologies that
enhance signal fidelity by reducing
cable induced jitter that results in
temporal displacement and phase
distortion.
THE
SOUND OF A NATURAL SOURCE
Many digital
systems do not achieve their full
theoretical potential due to
micro-distortions introduced to the
system by the interconnecting
cabling systems. Alpha-X digital
cables eliminate these limitations,
delivering a sound that is unforced,
natural, and dynamic. The result is
a listening experience that rivals
most analog systems, bringing
digital recordings to life with
newfound depth and detail.
Alpha-X is the perfect choice for
those that demand absolutely
uncompromising levels of
performance.

TAP (Transverse
Axial Polarizer) is a
patent-pending technology
developed by Shunyata
Research to enhance the
performance of its reference
signal cables. The evolution
of this technology has led
to the creation of TAPc,
a groundbreaking advancement
that significantly reduces
the size of the modules,
enabling their application
across a broader range of
cables, including power
cords, interconnects,
digital cables and speaker
cables. The sonic results of
TAPc technology
include a profound drop in
perceived noise floor,
effortlessly portrayed
dynamics, and an exceptional
rendering of timing and
coherency. These benefits
are unique to TAPc,
setting it apart from any
competing product or
technology. Even to an
untrained ear, the effects
of TAPc are
immediately apparent and
consistently repeatable
across various components
and systems. Essentially,
the TAPc modules
act as force multipliers,
elevating the listening
experience to levels many
would not have thought
possible. |

KPIP v2™ Shunyata
Research’s proprietary
Kinetic Phase Inversion
Process includes four days
of continuous KPIP v2™
processing which refines
conductor metals at a
molecular level. This
dramatically reduces burn-in
time and significantly
improves sonic performance,
delivering a relaxed and
life-like presentation. When
compared to the original
process, KPIP v2™ represents
a dramatic performance
upgrade on par with a
component-level upgrade. |

Shunyata Research produces
select cables using a
Precision Matched Z
(PMZ) concept. This means
that tolerances of the
conductor surface,
dielectric extrusion, and
the precision of the braided
shield are held to minute
variances. To achieve these
tight tolerances, the
extrusion and braiding
machines must be run at
one-quarter speed during the
manufacturing process. (Note:
Z means impedance) |

For the purest signal
possible, Shunyata Research
has combined its
patent-pending TAPc
technology (trans-axial
polarizer) and CMode
filter (common mode
filtering technology) into a
single hybrid module. The
TAPc polarizer reduces
polarization distortion
while the CMode filter
simultaneously reduces
high-frequency noise
distortion, delivering
analog ease and palpable
background silence that will
close the gap between
digital and analog front-end
performance. |
