  Shunyata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theme of shunyata emerged from the Buddhist doctrines of Anatta (Pali, Sanskrit:Anātman—the nonexistence of the self, or Ātman) and Paticcasamuppada (Pali, Sanskrit: pratītyasamūtpāda, Interdependent Arising).
Shunyata was further developed by Nāgārjuna and the Madhyamaka school, which is usually counted as an early Mahayana school.
Shunyata is also key to the Tathagatagarbha literature, which played a formative role in the evolution of subsequent Mahayana doctrine and practice.

The Shunyata Research Hydras are completely passive devices, each with a single 20A AC input and two, four, six, or eight AC outlets, depending on the model.
The Hydras employ Shunyata’s Venom outlets, heavily plated in silver and rhodium -- these are reportedly produced by Hubbel to Shunyata’s exact specifications, with all ferrous metals and carbon removed.
Shunyata also points out that the Venom filter performs its function of eliminating spikes and noise without introducing ringing or grain, common problems associated with conventional power-line capacitors.

 The Doctrine of Shunyata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The meaning of shunyata while explained extensively in Buddhist literature called Perfection of Wisdom or properly the Prajna-Paramita Sutra is hard to describe in Western terms.
While the closest equivalent to shunyata in the English language is the word ‘emptiness,’; or ‘voidness,’ these concepts to a Westerner are associated the absence of anything.
Though the terms ‘voidness’ and ‘emptiness’; have negative connotations in the West, the doctrine of shunyata is just another way of saying that the deepest core of spiritual reality is beyond human intellectual formulation.

 Shunyata in Pure Land Buddhism
Shunyata is not a mere nihilism which engulfs all entities in its universal darkness, abolishing all differences and particularities.
The positive aspect of shunyata, expressed by Nagao as 'differentiation and discrimination' and 'all differences and particularities', is indispensable for understanding shunyata in its negative aspect as well.
Even shunyata is a 'name only for a temporary use' so long as it is expressed in order for our conceptual understanding to grasp it.

 SoundStage! Equipment Review - Shunyata Research Aries Interconnects and Lyra Speaker Cables (7/2003)
Shunyata uses WBT copper/gold spades or banana terminations for the Lyra speaker cables, which cost $1250 per eight-foot pair.
Shunyata Research's Aries interconnects and Lyra speaker cables were part of my system for a few months when the then-latest product of Caelin Gabriel's tinkering mind showed up in its final form.
I found the Shunyata treble presentation to be extremely detailed and totally without grain; their midrange presented an appealing flatness, and bass was smooth, deep, and full of punch, even on older discs.

 Shunyata
When we meditate on shunyata, first it is very important to meditate on the emptiness or shunyata of person.
But if one does not have the realization of shunyata, emptiness, then it is not possible to cut the root of samsara.
So the realization of shunyata is considered very important, and the realization of shunyata — once you have a taste of shunyata, a glimpse of realization of shunyata, or emptiness —; that realization is very powerful.

 SoundStage! Equipment Review - Shunyata Research Hydra Model-8 Power Conditioner (10/2003)
The buss system is housed in a hermetically sealed internal aluminum chassis filled with Shunyata Research’s FeSi-1002 compound, a synthetically manufactured ceramic material that is said to "perform a similar noise-reduction function within the Hydra Model-8" as it does within Shunyata Research's patented power cords.
Grant Samuelsen at Shunyata Research ran in the review sample of the Hydra Model-8 for a while before I received it, and for good measure, I put more time on it before doing any critical listening.
I suspect that Shunyata's $650 Taipan might be the bang-for-the-buck choice for use with the Hydra Model-8 among all of the company's power cords.

Gabriel, whose training is in quantum physics, spent a decade working at the National Security Agency developing low-level signal acquisition devices (I am not sure how you read that, but I take it to mean eavesdropping bugs with extreme sensitivity).
Shunyata has paid exacting attention to resonance control, and, as my sore knuckles can attest to, this thing is solid.

 Shunyata
When we meditate on shunyata, first it is very important to meditate on the emptiness or shunyata of the person or 'no self.' So according to tradition it is always suggested that one should do meditation on shunyata and start the meditation with an analytical mind.
So the realization of shunyata is considered very important, and the realization of shunyata -- once you have a taste of shunyata, a glimpse of the realization of shunyata, or emptiness -- that realization is very powerful, it will eradicate all kinds of defilements.
This means in order to have some question or understanding or even the arising question; "what is shunyata, what is no self, what is the doctrine of no self, I'd like to find out about this question of emptiness," one must have some merit, some level of virtuous mind, because this question is very profound.

 Powersnake Anaconda vX and Taipan Power Cords by Todd Warnke
The suggestion by Shunyata is that the Pace-Setters are best used on analog sources, tubed pre and power amplifiers, power conditioners, video projectors and powered subwoofers.
Please remember that Shunyata suggests that the Noise-Reduction line is not a perfect fit with all tubed components, and that solid-state and high-current situations may be the better match for this cord.
It is also notable that they used the Shunyata gear in the remastering of the SACD version of Dark Side of the Moon, due out in March, as well as being used in other SACD projects by Doug Sax and James Guthrie.

 The Doctrine of Svabhava or Svabhavata and the Questions of Anatman and Shunyata by David Reigle
The doctrine of shunyata, the central teaching of the Prajna-paramita texts, is stated in terms of the shunyata, the "emptiness" or "voidness" of all dharmas; or more fully, that all dharmas are svabhava-shunya, "empty" (shunya) of svabhava.
Shunyata is here absolute only in the sense of being the absolute truth of the emptiness of all things, including itself.
Emptiness (shunyata) is proclaimed by the Buddhas as the leaving behind of all philosophical views, but they have pronounced those who hold a philosophical view about emptiness (shunyata) to be incurable.

 onhifi.com -- Hot Product Archives -- Etymotic Research ER-6 Isolator Earphones
Shunyata Research takes its name from the Sanskrit term for the "silence from which all creation emanates." Its cables are the brainchild of designer Caelin Gabriel, who has licensed exclusive patent rights to a matrix geometry developed by physicist and speaker designer (Wilson Audio, Talon, Chesky) Tierry Budge.
The Shunyata cables delivered sound that was full-bodied, with lots of Burr's deep, propulsive bass and O'Connor's mercurial fiddle, driven along by Vignola's fluidly percussive pick-work.
As the music clatters along at its breakneck pace, one simply has to marvel at how clean, how complex, and how completely and naturally interconnected it all is. There's lots of space and air in the sound and almost none at all between the individual components.
