    It is crazy how there are different experiences out there, albeit great swayed towards positive. I’m sure there might be some setups out there that don’t have synergy with the AQ power stuff, but for my experience they have done absolute wonders for all aspects of my particular setup. I’m keeping mine for as long as I have my system.

    So I've been following this thread and doing a little research on Shunyata. Lot's of raves here on CP and other sites. In fact, quite a lot of em all over.

    What makes the Shunyata so different? Well they have a patent on what they call Ferroelectric Field Coupling device. Fascinating. This technology apparently absorbs RFI/EMI within the Ferroelectric material, at the atomic level, and converts it to heat! To quote an excerpt from the patent "absorbs noise" Wow. Fascinating to me.

    I have two of these 2 port Denali, one for each dedicated amp line. However, not many people are buying the 2 port model, so Shunyata is having a fire sale on them until they are gone. Now is your chance.

    Just posted my Core Power Technologies CPT review. Coincidentally, didn't mention it, but there's a similar product coming to market through Underwood Hifi called DEEP=CORE that addresses RFI/EMI. It's an add on that's supposed to work with any power conditioner and allows for user adjustable tailoring. Not advocating it but my hope is that it's everything touted to be. MUCHO problems bringing it to market over the past few years. Here's the link:
    https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/deepcore-1800

    Original beta testers under the former owner literally fried their systems. I've documented the sketchy history in my review. As stated by other CP members, Walter Liederman is a stand up guy and the new owner. He's convinced this will work. I'm looking forward to the initial release and reviews.

    What 20A power cable do you use with the Denali?

    It’s in the sig. Shunyata Sigma HC power cables between the wall and the Denali. Then older Zitron Anaconda between the Denali and the amps. They all have the horizontal 20 amp connectors.
