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.

TECHNOLOGY

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)
