- VIEWShunyata Research Delta Ethernet Cable - 1.5mItem Code: Delta Ethernet
The Delta Ethernet cable by Shunyata Research represents a step up in performance from the Venom, featuring Telegartner connectors which are widely considered to be the industry-leading component. All Shunyata Research cables benefit from their Kinetic Phase Inversion Processing, which they consider to be superior to the regular burn-in process.
- VIEWShunyata Research Delta USB Type A to USB Type B Cable - 1.5mItem Code: Delta USBThe Delta USB cable by Shunyata Research is their entry-level USB offering featuring silver-plated copper braided shields to withstand RFI and EMI as well as their proprietary ArNi® silver-plated OF copper conductors. All Shunyata Research cables undergo their Kinetic Phase Inversion which means that their cables do not require lengthy burn-ins- they are ready to perform to reference level straight out of the box.
- VIEWShunyata Research Hydra Delta D6 Power DistributorItem Code: Hydra Delta D6
The Hydra Delta D6 by Shunyata Research is the first level of their Performance line of power distributors/conditioners, and benefits from many of the patented technologies present in their higher end versions. Shunyata's patented NIC™ technology employs a non-reactive ferroelectric substance to absorb high-frequency noise, and features custom-built Hubbell bronze-copper alloy outlets and a combination of 8 and 10 gauge copper wiring to ensure optimal current transfer.
- VIEWShunyata Research Venom V10 XC Mains Power Cable - 1.75mItem Code: Venom V10 XC
The Venom V10 XC by Shunyata Research is much the same as the V10 NR, except that it is constructed specifically for use with power conditioners. Like the NR consisting of low gauge (wide) OFE copper conductors and fluorocarbon dielectrics, the Venom also benefits from filter circuits that significantly reduce noise from your power supply. Shunyata Research power cables are so effective and reliable that they are trusted for scientific applications like medical imaging and heart surgery labs, making this not just an audiophile, but a medical-grade range!
Please note: for the XC version, C19 is the standard termination. Longer lead times may apply for the C15 termination.
- VIEWShunyata Research DF-SS Cable ElevatorItem Code: Shunyata DF-SSThe DF-SS cable elevators by Shunyata Research incorporate a special material to neutralise static-fields and two forms of vibration isolation to protect cables from a hum that can be caused by laying them on the floor. The first form is the 'suspension bridge' that is made from a polymer band, and the second is a granular compound that fills the base- both of these materials dissipate vibrations to prevent subtle signal distortions.
- VIEWShunyata Research DarkField Mini Cable ElevatorItem Code: Shunyata DarkField MiniThe DarkField mini cable elevators by Shunyata Research are designed to isolate cables from one another- it is particularly important to keep power cables and signal cables apart if possible in order to minimise static and noise causing humming, and can be used to great effect in conjunction with the DF-SS cable elevators.
- VIEWShunyata Research SSF Stainless Steel FeetItem Code: Shunyata SSFThe SSF Stainless Steel feet by Shunyata Research are designed to isolate their power distributors without needing to place them on a dedicated HiFi rack or platform. They come in two sizes- SSF-38, which are recommended for the Venom Line power distributors, and the SSF-50 which are recommended for the Performance Line (Hydra Delta D6 and above).
- VIEWShunyata Research Venom-X EF Mains Power Cable - 1.75mItem Code: Venom-X EFThe Venom-X EF power cable by Shunyata Research aims to bring reference-level performance at a mid-level price point. It features bespoke CopperCONN® connectors with large, pure copper contacts, and Shunyata's revolutionary VTX-Ag conductors. Despite it's large 10-gauge conductors, the cable is remarkably flexible - enough to wrap it around any furniture or equipment.
- VIEWShunyata Research Venom-X USB Type A to USB Type B Cable - 1.5mItem Code: Venom-X USB
The Venom-X USB cable from Shunyata Research offers great value, featuring much of the technology of the Delta cable at a lower price. Rather than generic connectors, the Venom-X comes with custom-built connectors created by Shunyata themselves, and the Precision Matched Impedance construction means a reliable and smooth transfer of signal. All Shunyata Research cables benefit from their Kinetic Phase Inversion Processing, which they consider to be superior to the regular burn-in process.
Please note: additional lengths are available as special-order ONLY, at £40 per additional 0.25m. Please contact us for more information.
