If you just can't wait for the new cables to be announced on Shunyata's website here's what we know so far:

All cables will be pure OFE C10100 copper in a VTX (hollow core) geometry, so from that alone will be superior to current Z-PC10 and Alpha which are solid core OFE C10100. In addition the new low-profile connector in the EF (extreme flexibility) models will be copper (which the current Alpha is but the Z-PC10 isn't). The EF cables are exactly the same as the NR (noise reduction) except for the low-profile connector on one end which doesn't have space for the noise-reduction circuit. There are no more HC (high current) versions because all are as heavy gauge as the old HC cables, and the improved noise reduction circuit works better for both digital and analog power supplies so there is only one version of NR now. Prices in the US will be:
* Sigma NR 6AWG: VTX, CopperConn, $2995 new
* Sigma EF: 6AWG, VTX, CopperConn, $2500 new
* Alpha NR: 8AWG, VTX, CopperConn, $1495 new
* Alpha EF: 8AWG, VTX, CopperConn, $1200 new
* Delta NR: 10AWG, VTX, CopperConn, $695 new
* Delta EF: 10AWG, VTX, CopperConn, $600 new
So for less money than the Z-PC10 the Delta will be a superior cable and the entire line of EF cables will fit in our Devialet. Go Shunyata! Those of you lucky enough to afford Sigma will be able to put the cover back on your Devialet.

My Shunyata Denali 6000/S arrives today and I'm very excited to buy the new cables in two weeks.
