Shunyata Research Denali 6000T Power Conditioner

This is a fantastic power conditioner, noticeably dropping the noise floor and increasing dynamics. The Shunyata Denali 6000T is completely passive and requires no power to operate. I'm the original owner. The rating of 9/10 is conservative as it is in mint condition. I used it with Shunyata Sigma V1 NR power cords with excellent results, but any power cord will work with it. A 20-amp power cord is not included, so you'll need one. Each outlet is isolated from the others to avoid cross-contamination of equipment-borne noise. Because KPIP processing is used, no break in is required. Just plug and play. The CopperCONN connectors have a nice strong grip. The cable cradle is not included, which makes using different sized power cables, wall-wart power packs, etc., hassle free. The cable cradle can be purchased through any Shunyata dealer if desired and is easy to install and inexpensive. I never had any problems with sagging or loose cables due to the great grip strength of the outlets. The original double box with matching serial numbers, warranty card, manual, and sales literature are included. 50/50 split the Escrow fee of 3.25%.

Shunyata's Description

The DENALI 6000/T represents the vanguard for a series of products that have attained legendary status in the arenas of power-conditioning technology, customized design, performance and value. The DENALI 6000/T’s unique tower form factor includes an integrated base, stainless-steel feet, and a cable-cradle support system, making it the most elegant, easy-to-place product in its category. Internally, the 6000/T features custom-manufactured solid-copper outlets, patented QR/BB™ modules for high-current applications and medical-grade filters that reduce noise to an astounding –60dB at 1 mHz, while far more costly products reduce noise by less than half that. In an era where five-figure price-tags have become commonplace for power-conditioners, the DENALI 6000/T delivers state-of-the-art performance, unique technology, and the finest in out-side-the-box craftsmanship for a fraction of the price.

Performance Features

VERTICAL DESIGN

The DENALI tower models are uniquely vertically oriented. The narrow front profile allows the DENALI to be placed alongside an audio rack without taking up valuable shelf space. The close proximity to the audio equipment allows for shorter and tidier AC power cable routing. They are self-supporting with an integrated isolation base platform.

INTEGRATED ISOLATION PLATFORM

The DENALI tower models include an integrated isolation base. Outriggers extend from the elegantly carved aluminum platform to provide maximum stability. Precision machined 50mm stainless steel footers create added support and dampen vibration.

HIGH CURRENT CAPABILITY

The DENALI Series conditioners are designed using DTCD® analysis and carry a 20-Amp continuous rating for virtually unlimited power delivery capability, allowing them to power entire systems, including high-powered amplifiers. The non-current-limiting electromagnetic breakers combined with massive 8-gauge internal wiring maximizes instantaneous current delivery, which maximizes dynamic contrast and bass impact.

Exclusive Parts & Treatments

CopperCONN OUTLETS

Shunyata Research manufactures its own audiophile-grade AC outlets. The internal contacts are made from pure OFE copper, providing the highest level of conductivity with the least amount of electrical resistance. There is no better outlet in the industry.

ArNi CONDUCTORS

The DENALI is wired with Shunyata Research’s ArNi conductors. These conductors are "hollow tube" VTX designs that are made from pure OFE C10100 copper and then treated with the KPIP Processor.

KPIP "BLACKBIRD" PROCESSOR

Each DENALI is treated with Shunyata Research’s proprietary KPIP Processor. The ‘Kinetic Phase Inversion Process’ dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance.

CRYOGENIC TREATMENT

Many of the electrical parts in the DENALI are treated in Shunyata Research’s own advanced computer-controlled cryogenics lab.

VIBRATION CONTROL

Mechanical vibration can be very destructive to system performance. The DENALI was designed from its inception to include advanced forms of vibration control that improve the recovery of subtle musical detail and nuance. All chassis panels and internal structure are treated with vibration dampening panels. Each outlet is isolated from the chassis with a vibration-dampening gasket that reduces vibration conducted through the AC cables. All internal modules, filters, and electronics are encapsulated in a vibration-absorbing compound.

Technology

NIC is a proprietary technology using ferroelectric substances that reduces high-frequency power line noise. The DENALI’s next-generation ‌NIC v2s have improved performance efficiency and yet are smaller in size.

Patent No. US 8,658,892

‌CCI v3 modules isolate power line noise from one component to another component. These new ‌CCI modules were originally developed in our military, scientific, and medical imaging research programs. They are currently being used to great effect in electrophysiology heart surgery. ‌CCI interference levels can be reduced by more than-60dB from 500 KHz to 10 MHz!

New ‌QR/BB technology dramatically eliminates any sense of dynamic compression that is often heard when an amplifier is connected to a power conditioner. Dynamics are actually improved when an amplifier is connected to the DENALI, even when compared to a direct connection to the wall outlet.
