For me the single biggest frontier left is the reduction of ac nasties. When a system has that under control…the music just plain sounds right. Once you hear it…it’s hard to un-hear it.

Agree, @mark-d. As well, there are the nasties brought on by the room itself. Amazing what a sudden clarity you can get when a lot of the ringing and extended decay times are tamed. I thought my system sounded good already, but my gradual (careful) introduction of (real) room acoustic treatments has shown me a surprise or two!

If you’re asking Shunyata, I guess you can guess their answer…

I agree! It would be one of the final pieces for me (Typhoon, upgrade power cords and another pair of REL subs first). I have room to stack the Typhoon, Denali and Altaira ground thing in my center bottom rack bay. It all seems so dubious for the money but I’m becoming a big Shunyata fan. The Denali and Omega PC sold me.

I just don’t know about the Typhon 2 with Pass amps. Pass go way beyond the ordinary for their power supplies, so I’m skeptical about improving their performance that way.
But I’m wide open to a trial.
PS----My Pass X250.8 is absolutely ambivalent about whether it’s connected to my dedicated 20 amp wall socket or my P20, which further raises my skepticism.

That is a good point but, as I understand it, it raises the performance of everything downstream (including everything connected to the Denali via the umbilical). The Denali/omega was a big step up for my system.

Same with my 260.8 monos. In fact, in my system they seem to like it better directly into the wall rather than into the PowerPlant.

Understood. I mistakenly thought you would plug your monoblocks into the Typhon.

None of that power stuff matters at all, not even a little, when you add BACCH to your system.

They do not offer these cables with in-plug 13A Master fuse, yet! They’re sold with either the Purple or SR20 - the latter suits my budget 
You made a typo. I’ve got the entire collection of Bach, 14 CDs. Music recorded in magnificent churches and cathedrals played by the late French and very talented Marie-Claire Alain. That music indeed sounds very

This thing is an engineering marvel. The weight can be adjusted 0.01g at a time. VTA and azimuth can be adjusted on the fly with easily accessible levers and anti-skate is also adjustable on the fly as it is done with magnets. All I have to do now is plug it in.

That’s quite the tone arm, a Reed 3P! Please share an image of your vinyl rig when you have it all dialed in. Most envious.
There seem to be a lot of them about. I bought it through a turntable specialist dealer who bought a few for stock before an imminent price increase, so I also got a nice little discount (discounts are rare here and I didn’t ask for one) and a nice DIN cable thrown in. Arrived next day. It’s a lovely piece of engineering and very easy to set up.
The mounting plate is a $5 piece of perspex bought online, I had to drill a few holes, but it comes with a very robust plastic jig to get the mount holes in the right place. For $100 I can get an ebony mounting plate, but I can’t face doing it all again.
