Introducing the groundbreaking Gamma Series of cables, a revolutionary leap in cable technology and performance. Developed by our expert design team, these cables redefine industry standards for price, performance, and material value.
Results
"All I can report is my subjective experience which can best be described as "revelatory" and more detailed in nature as opposed to "additive" or coloration. Nothing at all in this regard. I have found this cable to be incredibly detailed, well textured delivering better imaging with a nominally improved sound stage"
Technology
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)
Ohno wire, also called PCOCC was invented in 1986 by professor Atsumi Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. Copper wire is created by an extrusion process that pulls a rod of cold copper through a small orifice which creates multiple crystalline boundaries. By contrast, Ohno wire is made by a process using heated molds that cast a wire to form a single crystalline structure. Ohno wire is well known for its exceptionally pure, grain-free sonic qualities.
Fluorocarbon dielectrics are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and only the most expensive audiophile cabling. It has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance. When used in audio and power cables is reduces the perception of dynamic compression and it improves sonic low-level resolution and clarity.
Crystal clear transient detail.
KPIP v2™ Processing
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.
Reviews
"And honestly I did not get too deep into the weeds by examine the construction of the cable but instead relied upon a few dealers and friends who passed judgement on the performance of the cable. I DO believe it punches well above its weight and results in better clarity and detail without any coloration whatsoever. I find it to be very neutral , and I have a pretty good digital front end as well as good, Class A amplification . Given my network is already fiber optic I doubted such an improvement would be possible but I admit I am surprised."
