Shunyata Venom PS8 Power Distributor w/Venom Defender Power Conditioner & Venom PC

Instead of eight in-wall Hubbell outlets, why not put eight together on one strip and greatly reduce the chance of ground loops? Simply ensuring a well grounded connection for all of your components will yield enormous payback. Then, if you wish, add the Venom Defender line conditioner (without the Defender, the PS8 with Venom power cord was $1000 new). The Defender is a multi phase differential array filter device. It will eliminate grunge from your system. And it provides 22,000 amps in surge protection!

Do you listen to a lot of jazz, or perhaps piano sonatas or solo classical guitar? These products are for you. They just might transform your system, as has been the case chez moi. The Shunyata products allow you to hang on to the note as long as possible. They will add texture to bloated bass lines. For example, the late great Charlie Haden’s playing on his two recent albums with Keith Jarrett (“Jasmine” and “Last Dance”) can be somewhat ponderous, thick and plodding at times. Well, yes, until I injected the Venom into my system. Now Haden’s playing seems more nuanced. By capturing just a bit more attack and a bit more resonant decay, I am no longer bored by Haden’s playing on these albums.

This type of investment can transformed one's system. This is partly a function of the type of music one listens to; simple music played at low levels, typically no more complex than a jazz trio. If you love solo piano, solo classical guitar, or perhaps Dowland’s lute music or Brahem’s oud or turkish clarinet, there is no doubt these Shunyata products will benefit your system. By reducing the noise floor the Shunyata Venom Defender will allow your ears to take hold of each note for as long as possible. Guitar and bass notes are more textured. Piano seems fuller, deeper, more like the piano that sits directly above me.

Shunyata products are one of the few that actually do what they say they will... this strip/conditioner & cable will lift the presentation of your setup; not debatable. Its perhaps the best thing you can add by way of tweaks. Its purposeful and capable of helping ring that last note out of your music. Highly recommended and in as-new condition with all the fix-ins including spike kit, original box, packaging, authenticity cards etc.
