I hadn't seen anything about these online yet, and having just installed mine I'm excited to say they are very impressive. I was prepared for something more cold and analytical, which would've been fine with me given the warmth of my D'Agostinos, but the V2's reveal alot more detail while keeping warmth. Caelin apparently knew he had found the right mix of silver and copper when he sent these to production. I have Sigma V2 power on the amps, Alpha V2 power on the MSB, currently all power through a single Everest, but kept the V1 interconnects because I was told the conductor didn't change (very convenient for me since I didn't have the cash anyway). And btw, I have a crappy power supply on my Roon server, and my system still sounds spectacular.

Caelin, if you read these posts, well done sir!

(for the inquisitive, those speaker cable amp leads are several inches under the power cable; this cable has nice flexibility)

After several days of burn-in, stunningly gorgeous. The missing piece.

Congratulations. I love my Shunyata cables (sig), and have zero interest in upgrading at this point. Maybe in a few years, depending on what they do in the future.

Curious has anyone compared the v2 Alpha speaker cables to Sigma v2 speaker cables

I haven’t done that comparison, but I do have a set of Sigma speaker cables on the way. We listened to a lot of cables before we selected them. At that level all are good, but we liked the Sigma the best.

+1 for Sigma V2. I love mine. Perfectly balanced as the OP suggested.

Very nice. A full loom will be great!

When my new system is finished, I won’t have a full loom of Sigma. I’ll have Shunyata Sigma on everything, including the amps, except on the power cables on the EMM components and Aurender N30. These will be plugged into a Shunayta Everest, so I was advised to go with Alpha on these. I’ll also have a Aural Symphonics Optimism Fiber Optic cable for the EMM DAC —> EMM Transport.

If I get a Everest I’ll drop down to Alpha to on Taiko , Lampi . But would really like to hear thoughts on Everest .

I’ll report back when I receive it - hopefully within two weeks. I have the Shunyata Hydra right now. It’s good, but a while back we tried a friend’s Denali for a weekend and the improvement was amazing. Blacker backgrounds a real jump in the sound... I’m expecting the Everest to be even better.

WOW, that's a beautiful system. I was advised to run my EMM DAC, EMM Pre, EMM Transport, N30 and ACS 10 with Alpha -->Everest. Since it is uses tubes my VAC Pre (phono) will use Sigma. From what I understand the Everst allows you to use a lesser cable. This is just what I was told, not sure how it will sound yet. I'd check with your dealer or perhaps others here will pipe in ...

Unfortunately, none of the items have been delivered yet. If my racks get here from Adona this week then everything except the J. Sikora TT, VAC and Magico M3s, will be delivered and set up the following week. Everything else is supposed to be set up by Dec 10.

I only ordered the VAC Renaissance. I may get the Master later if I like it - which most likely I will :)
