Ask fellow Shunyata Research
First time using Shunyata Research Denali 6000 v2
It is found that except the front panel is metal, other parts of the shell are made of plastic??
Is there a technical consideration? Or is it a cost consideration? Is the flagship EVEREST 8000 also have the same structure?
thanks

This is incorrect: the entire chassis of the Denali V2 is metal. I have 4 of them, I would know

May you check again?Or open the botton screws to check?

I did, and from the website: “Recognizing that vibration control is important to overall performance, our chassis are made with optimally dampened steel and aluminum, rather than plastic or thin-wall sheet metals.”
It’s obvious when you touch the case that it’s metal.

Yes, the entire Denali V2 chassis is metal.

In what country did you buy the Denali? And what dealer?

Perhaps you have an imitation, "fake" Denali ?

The Denali is made from an all steel and aluminum chassis and faceplate.

I'm another believer. Super fortunate last night to have received a Denali 6000/V2 and Sigma V2 XC. It replaces my (oldie but goodie) Hydra 6 and Copperhead, thanks to @Puma Cat for the mentoring and guidance. Let it settle in overnight, and first listen this morning in my home office (near a ton of computers, monitors, switches, VOIP devices, etc).

I am GOBSMACKED. How can power make this amount of difference? I was expecting maybe some improved silence, but not the greater details, tonality, musical presentation, macrodynamic, etc. Literally hearing things in the background that I have never noticed before; I only started the tunes 20 mins ago, and I'm now on song #7, and still hearing new stuff. It is at least on the same level as a big component upgrade. No A/B even needed, it's absolutely obvious.

Hats off to @CGabriel. I'm sitting here with a string of happy expletives as the music rolls on. My only issue now is that my office setup is in such little space that the Sigma is sticking into the room out of the wall outlet and making a turn behind a corner rack, and I wish somehow I could get a 90-degree IEC connector...

Indeed, Shunyata makes the best power 'conditioners' on the market today, bar none.
Now wait until you add the ALTAIRA grounding system - another huge improvement awaits!
