Why did Shunyata Research create DTCD and the DTCD Analyzer?
Author: Caelin Gabriel Date: August 20, 2010 Shunyata Research designs and manufactures high-end power cabling and power distribution devices. We devote a great deal of time and resources toward researching all the materials and parts that go into our products. We perform many tests in an actual audio system to determine if there are audible differences between materials. Many other tests are performed with precision test equipment to see if there are objective scientific measurements that can be made to make correlations between the subjective tests and the measured results. We are constantly looking for differences between materials that might provide a performance advantage in our products, even if that difference is very small. Below is a list of some of the many items that have tested: – conductor metal types (i.e. copper versus silver) – plating materials (i.e. gold, silver, rhodium, etc) – conductor stranding (number of conductors, strand size, etc) – conductor metal purity (i.e
