A great sounding power cord you can hear right away the improvement it will make in your system and for the price it cant be beat!

DESCRIPTION:

The Taipan Alpha is a 1"-thick sausage of a cord in the Shunyata Research’s Helix line. While it’s very flexible -- a godsend when you’re trying to maneuver behind a heavily spiked equipment rack -- it’s still solid and sturdy enough to inspire confidence. The silky outer sheath and tightly integrated heat shrink spell high-end quality even before the cord is plugged in. Inside, the Taipan employs five conductors, hand-braided in Shunyata’s patented counter-rotating Helix geometry. Each conductor crosses its neighbor at close to 90 degrees, which, according to Shunyata, results in exceptional reduction of AC reactance and rejection of EMI and RFI.

The conductors are of CDA-101 copper, which Shunyata emphatically states is the purest, highest grade available. The five conductors combine to an aggregate of 10-gauge. The AC and IEC connectors are Shunyata’s proprietary Venom model, thickly plated with silver and treated in the company’s own cryogenic facility.

REVIEW:

In my system, the Shunyata Taipan performed. Although my gear is far more modest than the NASA-level infrastructure Shunyata uses in their custom-made listening room, I was able to re-create the results I’d heard during my factory visit. Considering that Shunyata was using the most highly resolving gear I’ve so far heard, I’d have to say that this success alone is a strong endorsement of the Taipan Helix Alpha’s efficacy.

In the end, it’s the listening that matters. The addition of the Taipans to my system made music make more sense, letting me hear deeper into the recording. It’s that attribute that makes them worth the dough.

Here is what some of our past customers had to say about us:

Having been an audiophile and a reviewer for over ten years, I have dealt with many people in the industry. My experience with Chris Moon of HigherFi was one of the smoothest, hassle free experiences I have had. I'm sure we will work together again soon. Thanks,
Greg Petan, Managing Editor/Stereotimes.com

"HigherFi is an honest, forthright seller of used high-end audio equipment. I have known Chris for over ten years and he has always been above board, knowledgeable, and a very good communicator. I would surely recommend him to anyone looking to sell very high-end audio components on a world-wide stage. I'm not sure there is anyone in the business today that's sold more gear in the uber-end of the market. What else can I say? Highly recommended!"
Jeff Fritz , Reviewer with UltraAudio


"I had the pleasure of setting up a Genesis 1.1 Loudspeaker system with my buddy that was purchased through HigherFi. The buyer was very happy and we had a blast dialing that system in! Chris seems to have all the great toys and the knowledge to get them pumping out fantastic music."
Michael Mercer, HPSoundings and Positive Feedback

Chris, many thanks for facilitating my purchase of the Wilson X-1 Series 3's. The speakers were just like new, as you said they would be, and your post-purchase advice about setting them up in my room has been extremely valuable. You made a deal happen that neither the seller nor I would have been able to make happen by ourselves ... but you made it happen. Thanks.
