Reference-Setting Power Cable Functions as a Single-Component Power Conditioner: U.S.A.-Made Shunyata Omega QR Features Unprecedented Performance, Technology, and Sound

A virtual power conditioner in the guise of a power cable made for amplifiers, preamplifiers, and large source components and DACs, and more of a component than a cable, the Shunyata Omega QR contains patented technology previously available only in the company's reference Hydra Typhon and Denali power distributors. We're talking unprecedented engineering, sonics, and performance. No power cord at any price possesses Omega QR's abilities and build. And the U.S.A.-made Omega QR features both differential and common mode noise reduction as well as a set of three DFSS (Dark Field Suspension System) isolation devices and a burn-in adapter. The drop in perceived noise levels will startle you – no matter how many years you've been critically listening (or viewing). 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guaranteed.

The many reasons behind Omega QR's unprecedented prowess begin with patented QR/BB technology, which allows it to serve as a passive supercharger for high-current amplifiers and analog components – resulting in improved perceived timing, dimensionality, and dynamics. The beat goes on with the presence of Shunyata's patented Noise Isolation Chamber technology and next-generation noise-filtering circuitry for dramatic, measurable noise reduction. They allow Omega QR to act as a single-component power-conditioner. Brand-new six-gauge VTX-Ag conductors – found at the center core of the highest-grade silver with a coaxial surround of pure OFE copper – help deliver lifelike dynamics while maintaining rich tonal body and nuance. In addition, true carbon-fiber head shells lead to enhanced vibration management and lowered distortion. (And they are quite beautiful.) Lest we forget, Shunyata's exclusive CopperCONN pure copper connectors form an unbeatable low-resistance connection that unlocks the full measure of any component, amplifier or source. Last but not least, every facet of Omega QR has been refined to deliver measurably superior Dynamic Transient Current Delivery. Each part, conductor, noise circuit, and material inside Omega QR allows for maximum throughput of instantaneous current. You will experience low-frequency performance from even the highest current amplifiers as well as contrasts unheard of outside of a live event.

We realize Omega QR costs a premium, but then again, its feats are without peer in the industry. We also know you want to hear just how amazing this power cable (complete with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and supplied with DF-SS Cable Elevators) is for yourself without risk. It's why we encourage you to try Omega QR in your own system with an in-home audition. If you're not completely satisfied, send it back to Music Direct without any hassle.

VTX-Ag Conductors
Omega QR's VTX-Ag conductors are the result of a 20-year design progression steeped in credible science and definitive measurement. VTX-Ag conductors use an outer tube geometry of the purest form of copper intended to bring out the purest tone and timbres of recorded instruments and voice. Omega QR's VTX outer core of pure copper surrounds an inner core of the purest form of silver. The inner Ag core conductor demonstrably improves macro-dynamics along with an incredible three-dimensional weight and timing in the lower octaves. When combined, the VTX-Ag conductors represent the greatest advance in conductor science of designer Colin Gabriel's storied career.

Patented QR/BB Technology
Omega QR incorporates a refined and improved version of Shunyata Research's patented QR/BB technology (US Patent #10,031,536). The QR/BB science was granted a patent because it possesses the ability to act as a Coloumb Charge, meaning it stores and discharges microsecond pulses of current in a way that improves a component's access to instantaneous current. The sonic result is a life-like presentation of timing and dynamic contrasts in sound that cannot be replicated by any other means. In layman's terms, it acts like a supercharger for amplifiers, preamps, DACs, and CD players. This technology alone gives Omega QR a technical and performance advantage that simply does not exist anywhere else.

Patented NIC Technology
NIC Technology (Noise Isolation Chamber) US Patent #8,658,892 is a technology that reduces high-frequency power-line noise. NICs use a non-reactive ferroelectric substance that actually absorbs high frequency noise and dissipates this energy as heat within its molecular structure, without adding reactance or resistance to the AC signal. This technology was refined for use in Omega QR.

Differential and Common-Mode Noise-Reduction Circuits
The unique noise-reducing circuits designed into Omega QR add a stunning background of absolute quiet to recordings, allowing the listener to hear into recording as never before. The degree of naturally reproduced detail gives the most three-dimensional account of any vocal or instrumental performance. Every nuance of meaningful content is revealed, bringing to life music's most consequential moments as if the performers are in the room with the listener.

Exclusive Noise-Reduction Technology
Shunyata Research's exclusive NR (Noise Reduction) technology has been improved for Omega QR. NR technology is a multi-stage filter network that filters power-line and component-generated noise to a degree that is both measurable and profound to the listening experience. Adding this technology to the differential and common mode noise reduction circuits establishes Omega QR power cord as the power reference when it comes to an independently-filtered power source for any amplifier or source component.

DTCD Optimized
Every facet of Omega QR is refined to deliver measurably superior Dynamic Transient Current Delivery (DTCD). Each part, conductor, noise circuit, and material inside Omega QR allows for maximum throughput of instantaneous current. Listeners will experience earth-shaking low-frequency performance from even the highest-current amplifiers as well as dynamic contrast unheard of outside of a live event. More than any other design parameter, Shunyata Research's skill in eliminating resistance and maximizing peak-current delivery is unmatched.
