Shunyata Research

[GuillaumeB]

The mayor differences between Shunyata and Synergistic is that Shunyata doesn't sell (or tries to sell because who would buy that stuff) UEF acoustic dots, black boxes, atmospheric tuning devices etc. That sort of nonsense puts me off trusting anything from them (Synergistic). Have a look at below Youtube video that Synergistic's site links to.

It's hard to watch. Be warned. 

My major argument with Shunyata is their continual recyclying of the product line.  Since I became aware of this group they have had far too many interations of their product line.  Then there is this iconic magic/mythic founder thing with Calien (spelling may be wrong). These price points are just too dear to invest in just to see that within a year or so your "investment" is so far less than your original purchase price.
No doubt they sound great but when looking at the internals of a Denali, one wonders.  Change one letter then it's denial

Well, there goes my argument FOR Shunyata 

That's strange I always thought Shunyata products did rather well on the S/H market. A few have been sold on here and have seemed to fetch reasonable values.

As to the constant recycling of the product line I think this reflects having a designer/inventor/mad scientist (Sorry Caelin!) at the helm of the company. He is constantly thinking about ways of improving his products and making them more accessible. With that said my understanding is that their product life cycles typically last 3 years or so. Isn't this the same with many other companies including Devialet? 

As to the Denali I have seen what's inside them. They are beautifully built using the highest quality materials. In fact build quality is to my mind what separates Shunyata from many other companies. Everything about their products oozes quality. Each Denali contains medical grade CCI filters, Gemini surge control module, and a NIC v2 (Noise Isolation Chamber) in addition to the QR/BB technology that dramatically reduces dynamic compression. The best quality 8 gauge wiring and copperCONN outlets are used too, not to mention hydraulic electromagnetic breakers and Hubbel IEC 20 inlets!
