Shunyata Alpha-X XC Power Cable
The Shunyata XC power cable is specially designed to optimize the performance of Shunyata Research Power Conditioners and high-current amplifiers by maximizing instantaneous current delivery rather than featuring built-in noise reduction
Key Technologies
VTX-AG CONDUCTORS
Reference model cables feature an advancement in conductor technology that combines the transient speed and definition of pure silver with the warmth, power, and body of pure copper. VTX-Ag has a core conductor of pure silver with an outer concentric conductor of high-purity OFE copper. VTX-Ag provides significant improvements in dynamics, timing precision, and low-level resolution while preserving the subtle tonal, textural, and timbral signatures that bring music to life.
CopperCONN™ CONNECTORS
Shunyata Research has developed its own line of CopperCONN™ connectors that feature solid copper contacts that have superior conductivity compared to bronze or brass contacts used in common connectors.
These connectors are not just beautiful, they functionally reduce micro-distortions. They are hermetically sealed with an electrically inert compound that protects the contacts and wires from corrosion. This also ensures that the wires cannot become loose, fray or pull out from the head shell. This guarantees a lifetime of reliable performance that does not degrade over time.

Crystalline highs and breathtaking clarity and thunderous bass capabilities make the Alpha-X a world class performer!
KPIP™ PROCESSING
The proprietary Shunyata Research, Kinetic Phase Inversion Process was created to significantly reduce the amount of time required to burn-in cables and power conditioners. It also has a performance enhancing effect above and beyond simply burn-in.
Four days of continuous KPIP™ processing dramatically reduces the ups and downs for new equipment and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation.
