SHUNYATA RESEARCH OMEGA XC > Review in Hi-Fi+
In making Omega XC, Shunyata Research’s Caelin Gabriel set himself a challenge. “Create a power cord for Shunyata Research power conditioners that allows the conditioner to achieve its absolute maximum performance. Remove any and all constraints regarding construction time and difficulty and ignore cost limitations to produce the ultimate power cord.” So, no biggie!
Three years
The Omega XC is the result of a research project that spanned more than three years, involving hundreds of tests, designs and construction solutions. The Omega XC features Shunyata Research’s VTX-Ag conductors in a hefty four-gauge size.
You complete me!
You could argue the Shunyata Research Omega XC power cord is a one-trick pony. If so, it’s one hell of a trick and one hell of a pony. It’s not designed for any other application apart from running between wall and power conditioner. It works well in those other applications, but the task has better power cords, both in and out of the Shunyata line. But if you need what the Omega XC supplies, there is nothing better!
