From Shunyata
Typhon T2 is a power distributor for amplifiers, preamps, DACs, and CD players that focuses on low-impedance current delivery. Its saved specs list a C19 inlet, optional 30A Amphenol input, 3 isolation zones, 8-gauge ArNi VTX-Ag buss wiring, CGS grounding, NIC, CCI, QR/BB, and 4 days of KPIP v2 processing.
Specifications
| NIC™ | The NIC™ (Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented Shunyata Research device that reduces high frequency power line noise. It employs a ferroelectric substance that actually absorbs high frequency noise without any of the reactive negatives associated with transformers and large capacitors as used in conventional power conditioners. |
|---|---|
| KPIP v2 Processing | Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process includes four days of continuous KPIP v2™ processing which refines conductor metals at the atomic level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. When compared to the original process, KPIP v2™ represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade. | 4-days |
| ArNi | Shunyata Research’s conductors are designed to be the finest quality wire available for power and audio purposes. They start life using the highest purity copper available – OFE C10100 (or Ohno single crystal). Then they are formed into “virtual hollow tubes” that we call VTX™. The core of the conductor is completely hollow forcing the current to only travel through the periphery of the conductor, therby eliminating skin effects and random eddy currents. |
| CopperCONN® | Many audiophile grade connectors are made from brass or bronze. While some may get a plating of silver, gold or rhodium, the majority of the current is carried by the contact’s base-metal. connectors contain pure copper contacts which have a much higher conductivity than brass. The difference in performance is clearly audible. |
| CGS | The (Chassis Grounding System) is an internal ground-buss that uses patented NIC™ technology to reduce ground plane noise. CGS provides a common grounding point and extends the noise reduction capability of the power conditioner’s internal NICs to other electronic components. CGS helps to minimize inter-component voltage differences between component chassis and may reduce the hum associated with ground loops. |
