Shunyata Research

[GuillaumeB]

So Guillaume, am I correct in reading your comments here to mean that for a component like the Devialet, you would recommend Shunyata products that do not constrain instantaneous current delivery over those that prioritize noise reduction? I have been wondering whether the Denali 2000 or 6000 makes more sense for a Devialet.

And I'm very sorry I'm just checking into this thread today, as I was in London earlier in the week and thinking about stopping by KJ West One. If I'd known that they had the Shunyata gear in, I would have made it a priority!

Hi flohmann,

Basically ALL Shunyata products are made to provide high levels of instantaneous current, from the entry level UK6 to the Denalis. They refer to this as DTCD (dynamic transient current delivery) and it is the foundation to all their products.

The Denali however takes things to the next level with a patented-pending technology called QR/BB.

QR/BB provides a local reserve of energy, or Coulomb charge, that mitigates the indicative reactance of the AC power line without using coils, transformers or capacitors (so no humming, heat etc). It essentially acts as an instantaneous energy reserve. I can give a lot more details than this if required and also the patent can be read online. Subjectively it can make your Devialet sound more powerful and more dynamic.

With the 2000 the main focus is on this. With the 6000 models (S and T) you get additional outlets which give access to the "med filters", which reduce noise by over 60 db @ 1 MHz (so a factor of a thousand!). This is what some hospitals are now using in the US.

Cheers,

Guillaume
