Good news that the V14 Digital is that good and affordable. I am interested to buy one for my projector (Panasonic PT-AE8000). Since this is a 14AWG cable, I am curious to know how it compares to a Venom NR-V12 or 10 for this application as they have heavier gauge wire. I used to believe that heavier gauges fare better on displays? Am I correct? In my case, I will salvage a SR-Z1 outlet and a Venom defender for this application. I have a dedicated 15A line for my projector.

I'll leave it to Grant and Caelin to comment definitively, but my expectation is the Venom 14 Digital would be fine for powering your projector. The V-12 and V-10 are better performers when you need dynamic transient current delivery (e.g. for an amplifier driving speakers during dynamic musical passages), but as the projector does not function in this manner as it is powered continuously, I would predict it would work really well for your video projector. I use on my Samsung HDTV and it works really well, providing a more vivid, sharper picture than the stock generic power cord.

That advice is probably sound. Thought I’d cross link to the plasma TV / projector thread: https://www.audioaficionado.org/show...t=27805&page=3. Caelin recommended the Venom NR V12 if budget permits (see post #24). I’d imagine this is less important on LED/LCD displays, but for higher current draw displays like plasma TVs and projectors the Venom NR V12 may get the nod.

Thanks for posting. That answers my question.

Has anybody ever tried a Venom 14 Digital on an Apple TV or similar streamer?

I'm finding different pictures of the cable online and can't confirm whether the noise reduction filter is in the C7 connector that would plug into the Apple TV (thus making it incompatible as it would block the HDMI output) or whether it's a standard C7 connector with the filter in the other end (making it compatible).

Edit: if current production units with the C7 connector are the same as this (https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=46664) should be just fine.

If so, what were your subjective impressions of any differences in audio or video quality using the cable?

If memory serves, the picture linked to above is the current configuration of production units of V14D Digital with C7 connector. I think they standardized on this configuration because of the no. of use-cases and applications that had problems with the NR filter on the C7 plug blocking access to other ports, as you've described. I use a V14D on my Apple TV and my HDTV, and the improvements it brings to video and audio quality for HDTV is clearly visible and audible.

Thanks! I run a Venom V12 NR on my HDTV, and will plan to pick one of these up for the new Apple TV. What improvements to video and audio quality did you notice when using on your Apple TV?

Sharper, more vibrant picture with deeper blacks.

Old thread, but saw this video last week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X9gYpmtlxE

Today I brought home a Shunyata V10 NR powercord and tried to do the same experiment as in the video, with a standard cable my measuring device (EMI wideband chinese) was showing 44mV in an unfiltered powersocket, then with the same non filtered distribution block with the Shunyata V10 NR powercord the measurement became 54mV, not a huge increase but a massive difference compared to the video where the reduction in mV is large.

Is the Noise reduction in the V10 powercord less then the V14 powercords ?
(V14's are not listed in the Dutch price list)

Tonight I will try the Venom V10 in my system, one of my expensive Ansuz powercords moved from my Aurender N10 to the Plixir power supply (for Melco S100), which had a considerable impovement (streaming with DCS Rossini, Aurender N10 disconnected)
Hopefully I can move the Ansuz powercord back to the Aurender and use the Shunyata powercord for the Plixir power supply.

The amount of noise reduction is the same, 12dB, but the noise reduction functionality is somewhat different for the V14D Digital PC. It's noise reduction functionality is specifically optimised for devices that are 100% in the digital domain, e.g. a network bridge or streamer (digital in/digital out).

It came out of power cords developed by Clear Image Scientific, Shunyata's sister company that sells power products for medical digital imaging, and it was designed for cardiac digital imaging devices.

If your device is a DAC, preamp, amp, that operates at any level in the analog domain, you should ideally use a Venom NRv10 or NRv12 power cord, or higher-specification.
