Shunyata Research Typhon & Umbilical

Selling my Shunyata Typhon + Alpha Zitron 20A 1.0m umbilical as a unit , both in mint condition. The Typhon is sometimes plugged into the wall as shown, or more typically into an unused outlet of a conditioner - I was using it on my Denali v2 until that was replaced. No original box and quite heavy, but will be packaged appropriately. Please read the various reviews, like TAS, for more information. I am the original owner, and the unit is still plugged in until sold, hence the pictures as they are. Original prices were $4995 for the Typhon and $995 for the Alpha.

Price includes shipping and paypal in the continental USA.

How to connect a TYPHON
The TYPHON requires a dedicated umbilical power cord designed specifically to connect it to the TRITON Power Distribution Unit. A good quality TYPHON umbilical will be offered at a nominal cost. However, for optimal performance we highly recommend choosing an optional high-performance umbilical cord. One that matches the power cord that was selected to connect the TRITON to the wall outlet. As is the case with all electronic components, the TYPHON responds dramatically to improved power-connection science such as the technology used in Shunyata’s Reference power cords. Your dealer can offer several options that can be supplied with the TYPHON at additional cost.

The connection method for the TYPHON to the TRITON will be to plug the TYPHON power cord into one of the TRITON’s unused outlets. If all outlets are in use, it is best to use a simple power strip or Shunyata’s own PS8 power strip to connect less critical components so that you can use a primary outlet for the TYPHON.

How to evaluate a TYPHON
Due to the fact that the TYPHON works in parallel and not in-series with the TRITON there are a few specifics that should be followed when evaluating a TYPHON’s performance when connected to a TRITON.

Settling Time: Since the TYPHON does not carry the current load (the TRITON does) — it does not require burn-in per se but it does require a settling period. Simply plug the TYPHON into the TRITON and it will reach its full potential in about 5 days. We do not recommend critically evaluating the TYPHON before this settling period is complete.
