Shunyata’s cost-no-object Omega QR with patented QR/BB conditioner-in-a-cable technology delivers reference-level dynamics and noise reduction in one cord.

I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique based in Minnesota. This Shunyata Omega QR power cable is in on consignment from one of my local clients. It is 2M in length with a 15A C15 IEC connector. The cable is in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This is the original Omega QR, now succeeded by the Omega-X QR (original MSRP approximately $8,000+ for this 2M length, discontinued). At this time, two cables are available, priced individually.
The cable comes with its original paperwork and packaging.
The Omega QR is not really a power cable. It is a power conditioner that happens to take the form of a cable. The patented QR/BB module built into the cord acts as an electric charge reservoir, storing and releasing energy to improve your component’s access to instantaneous current. That is not marketing language; it is a measurable, patented function that no other power cable replicates. In listening, the effect is unmistakable. Dynamics are not just preserved but genuinely enhanced, with a sense of explosive transient speed and weight that makes even the best conventional power cords feel slightly constrained by comparison. The noise floor drops to a level where spatial cues and low-level textural detail emerge in a way that fundamentally changes how recordings sound. Robert Harley made this his reference at The Absolute Sound for good reason. At the 2M length with a C15 connector, this cable is ideal for source components, preamplifiers, DACs, and integrated amplifiers. Finding an original Omega QR on the used market is uncommon, and a 2M length even more so.
There are currently several other Shunyata cables listed from the same collection. Take a look through our preowned listings to see them all.
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I prefer to accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price. Credit card payments are also possible for a 3.1% convenience charge.
More about the cable:
The Shunyata Omega QR was the cost-no-object flagship of Shunyata Research’s power cable lineup, the result of a three-year research project led by Caelin Gabriel with a simple mandate: remove all constraints on construction time, difficulty, and cost to determine what is truly achievable in power cord performance. The Omega QR is built around two patented technologies previously found only in Shunyata’s reference power distributors. The QR/BB (Quantum Resonance/BlackBox) module is a miniaturized version of the technology used in the Typhon and Denali power conditioners, functioning as an electric charge reservoir that stores and releases energy to improve a component’s access to instantaneous current. The NIC (Noise Isolation Chamber) technology provides multi-stage, wide-bandwidth noise reduction developed by Shunyata’s medical division, Clear Image Scientific, for cardiology and neurosurgery imaging systems. The cable features VTX-Ag conductors combining a pure silver inner core with a concentric outer conductor of OFE C10100 copper (99.99% purity), formed into Shunyata’s hollow-core VTX geometry to eliminate skin effect and eddy current distortions, with fluorocarbon dielectric. Termination uses Shunyata’s CopperCONN connectors with solid copper contacts housed in genuine carbon-fiber headshells that attenuate micro-vibrations. Every element is optimized for maximum Dynamic Transient Current Delivery (DTCD) using Shunyata’s proprietary analyzer. Each cord undergoes four days of KPIP (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) conditioning. The standard length is 1.75M; this example is a 2M length. The 15A C15 IEC connector is designed for source components, preamplifiers, and DACs. The Omega QR earned Robert Harley’s reference designation at The Absolute Sound. Handcrafted at Shunyata’s factory in Poulsbo, Washington, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty (US and Canada).
