PRECISION AND POWER IN PERFECT HARMONY
Alpha-X Speaker Cables represent a masterful blend of proprietary technologies and advanced materials, offering superlative sound quality with a balance of clarity, dynamics, and musicality. Exclusive TAPc (Transverse Axial Polarizer) technology, significantly lowers the noise floor and reduces phase distortions resulting in a cleaner, more detailed presentation across all frequencies. Alpha-X speaker cables feature Shunyata’s HARP technology, designed to diffuse current reflections and resonances. This ensures unmatched tonal fidelity while enhancing sonic coherence, resolution and tonal accuracy. The HARP delivers a deeply immersive experience while portraying an expansive palette of fine details and textures. Shunyata’s VTX-Ag conductors are made from both silver and copper conductors, in a coaxial geometry, delivering the speed and clarity of silver along with the warmth and low-end authority of copper. Finally, the KPIP v2 (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) conditions the conductors, reducing break-in time and optimizing sonic performance.

The combined impact of these advanced technologies results in a dynamic, immersive listening experience that remains steadfast in its ultimate goal — capturing the pure essence of the music.

TECHNOLOGY

TAPc The ALPHA-X features the all-new TAPc technology. TAP (transverse axial polarizer) is a patent pending technology that Shunyata Research developed to improve the performance of its reference signal cables. The TAPc technology is a radical advancement of the TAP technology that enables a significant reduction in the size of the modules – and for the first time allows this technology to be applied to power cords. The sonic results of TAPc include a cavernous drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics and a superb rendering of timing and coherency. The sonic benefits of the TAPc technology are quite simply unique and cannot be replicated by any competing product or technology. Even to an untrained ear, the effects of the TAPc are immediately apparent and repeatable across a variety of components and systems. In essence, the TAPc modules are force-multipliers that elevate the listening experience to a level many would not imagine possible.
   
HARP was discovered through Gabriel’s research into ‘current drift’ and audio frequency current resonances that occur in speaker cables. Theoretically, a speaker cable may develop current resonances in the audio band, being roughly analogous to standing waves (modals) in room acoustics. The ‌‌HARP module acts as a current mode diffraction device that breaks up these resonances, improving the perceived resolution and coherency of the system.
   
Shunyata’s VTX-Ag cables are uniquely constructed with both an inner, center conductor made of pure silver and an outer concentric ring conductor made of pure copper. It’s made using the finest fluorocarbon insulation to minimize dielectric absorption and re-radiation which translates to an improvement in resolution and clarity. VTX-Ag delivers the speed and clarity of silver and the midrange warmth and three dimensional power in the lower octaves of copper without imparting any of the negatives associated with either metal. – The best qualities of silver and copper combined
   
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.
   

Fluorocarbon dielectrics are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and only the most expensive audiophile cabling. It has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance.  When used in audio and power cables is reduces the perception of dynamic compression and it improves sonic low-level resolution and clarity.
