Shunyata Theta NR Power Cable (20A, 1.75m)

Venture Beyond Expectations: Award-Winning Shunyata Theta NR Power Cable Helps Disappear Your Audio Gear, Instills Palpable Degrees of Coherence, Timing, and Frequency Extension

Winner of The Absolute Sound's coveted Product of the Year Award. the Shunyata Theta NR power cable ostensibly serves as a one-stop upgrade that will make your amplifier, preamplifier, or source component sound revitalized and reenergized. You will experience more detail, harmonic depth, and tonal subtlety when listening to music with Theta NR in your setup. In addition, its use of VTX-Ag conductors results in significant improvements in dynamics, accuracy, and low-level resolution while preserving the textural and timbral signatures that bring music to life.

Next to the competition, Theta NR delivers more precise, time-correct presentations distinguished with an authoritative low end, pronounced contrasts, and transparent soundstages. And you won't have to wait hours for it all to happen. It arrives ready to operate at optimum level right out of the box thanks to Shunyata's Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP v2) – a groundbreaking conditioning process that eliminates the need for time-consuming burn-in on your end and elevates the overall fidelity of your system.

Sold with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, Theta NR represents a transformative upgrade over stock cables and holds its own with many models that cost far more. Select the length you require from our drop-down menu above and hear the differences for yourself with a risk-free in-home audition backed by our 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee.

"Shunyata Research’s new Theta Series cable is one of, if not the most musical, affordable, and ultimately consequential cables I’ve evaluated to date. It’s that good!"
—Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, Product of the Year Award

ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY
Theta Series signal and digital cable products feature continuous-cast Ohno copper. Ohno copper is an ultra-pure conductor drawn using heated molds that cast the wire into a singular crystalline structure. The Ohno conductors used in the Theta Series are then extruded with a fluorocarbon dielectric and custom-shielding elements using Shunyata Research's exclusive PMZ (Precision Matched Impedance) process. This extrusion method tightens the tolerances of the conductor surface, dielectric and the precision placement of the shield. To achieve these finely drawn tolerances, the extrusion and braiding machines must be run at one-quarter normal speed during the manufacturing process. Theta power cords also feature VTX™ (hollow core) and VTX-Ag™ (pure silver center) conductors, both with an outer layer of ultra-pure OFE copper for enhanced performance. All cables are conditioned for four days using Shunyata Research's advanced Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIPv2), which conditions conductor metals at a molecular level. Theta Series cables are terminated with Shunyata's custom-designed connectors and cold-soldered terminals. 

THE SOUND AND FURY
Theta cables disappear, allowing the system to express sudden dynamic shifts in timing and frequency extension with effortlessness and nuance. A loom of Theta cables allows a complex system of electronics and speakers to speak with a single coherent voice. Like their more affordable Gamma Series counterpart, Theta cables imbue the system with an unassailable sense of coherence, as if everything is in focus, without distortion or hard transients. There is an absence of perceived noise, allowing spectral and textural subtlety to come to the fore. Unlike common copper cables, Theta Series cables deliver explosive dynamics and pitch-perfect frequency extension, even when compared to far more expensive cables. Theta's large-gauge VTX conductors add weight, dimensionality, and an expansive, room-filling soundstage.

TECHNOLOGY
Shunyata Research's exclusive ‌VTX conductors are made in the shape of virtual tubes. The core of the conductor is completely hollow minimizing skin effects and random eddy currents. They are produced using OFE Alloy-101.

KPIP v2™ PROCESSING
Shunyata Research's proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process includes four days of continuous KPIP v2 processing which refines conductor metals at a molecular 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.
