Shunyata Research Sigma X NR Power Cable

A RADICAL PROGRESSION

The most radical progression in power cord design since Shunyata Research’s humble beginnings in 1998, has delivered a watershed level of performance with the introduction of the SIGMA-X power cables.

Inspired by our well documented success in medical imaging and recording industries, Shunyata Research has continued to advance the science and technology of its most successful products. The SIGMA-X power cables have exceeded even the highest performance expectations.

The SIGMA-X is second only to Shunyata Research’s ultimate Omega power cord within the “Reference Series”. The Reference Series X cables represent the culmination of a 25-year commitment to produce the absolute finest performing power cables available.

 



GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY

 

There are several definable advances to the Sigma-X power cord designs that will distinguish themselves within seconds after application, comparisons and testing. The Sigma-X QR model is elevated by the inclusion of our patented QR/BB tech which has a profound effect on instantaneous current availability.

TAPc The SIGMA-X features the all-new TAPc technology. TAP (transverse axial polarizer) is a patent pending technology that Shunyata Research developed to improve the performance of its reference signal cables. The TAPc technology is a radical advancement of the TAP technology that enables a significant reduction in the size of the modules – and for the first time allows this technology to be applied to power cords.

The sonic results of TAPc include a cavernous drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics and a superb rendering of timing and coherency. The sonic benefits of the TAPc technology are quite simply unique and cannot be replicated by any competing product or technology.

Even to an untrained ear, the effects of the TAPc are immediately apparent and repeatable across a variety of components and systems. In essence, the TAPc modules are force-multipliers that elevate the listening experience to a level many would not imagine possible.

Gen3 NR  Perhaps no technology has been more thoroughly researched, measured and third-party tested than Shunyata Research’s power line noise reduction technology. Gen2 NR technology, as used in the Gamma and Theta power cord lines, has been proven effective in heart surgery labs across the U.S. and Europe. Countless iconic recording engineers, mastering studios and musicians have provided vivid accounts supporting the efficacy of Shunyata Research’s NR power cords.

The Gen-3 NR circuit, as used in the ALPHA-X and SIGMA-X power cords, improves upon the sonic performance of the Gen-2 circuit. Transient speed, transparency and purity are all significantly improved along with an improvement in micro-dynamics. The new NR circuit is also more compatible across a broader spectrum of electronic component types; including preamplifiers and power amplifiers. Even amplifiers operating in pure Class A will realize a significant benefit when using our Gen3 NR equipped power cables. (The SIGMA-X XC power cords are now, primarily, recommended for use with power distributors.)

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.
