I have 2 20A lines, so will plug the Denali and PS8 separately to those 2 20A Wall Outlets.

I have also bought a Venom Defender. Would you recommend plugging a Venom defender in each of the 20A wall outlet socket along with the Denali and PS8, or connect the Defender in one of the sockets of the Denali and PS8?

Also, the bottom 2 sockets of the Denali are HC. Can I connect source components to these, or they only designed for Amps?

To recap on cable needs:
* PS8 to 20A wall outlet: Alpha NR (best) or Delta NR
* Denali to 20A wall outlet: Alpha EF (best), or Delta EF (as the Denali has great NR capabilities, I think I would only need EF cables. Is this correct or should I use NR cables to connect the Denali to the Wall outlet?)
* Amps and Sub to PS8: Alpha NR (best) or Delta NR (if I connect the PS8 to the wall outlet using Alpha NR)
* Sources (Pre-Amp, CD Player, Streamer, PS Audio DAC) to Denali: Alpha EF (best) or Delta EF

Thanks again.
Best,

Hi Caelin,

After I read and learn a bit more about the different Shunyata power distributors, I thought perhaps a simpler solution to my problems of not having enough sockets/outlets for my gears with only the Denali, is to consider the Triton v3 with its 8 sockets which I believe would serve me well for next several years with the gears I have or plan to add. From what I read, I believe the Triton v3 would have higher overall performance (NR, CCI, Transient/dynamics etc..) than the combo Denali + PS8, and the additional cost vs. the Denali + PS8 may be “reasonable”

If I opt for the Triton v3, what would you recommend to connect it to the wall (Alpha vs. Sigma, NR vs. EF)?

For Amps and Sub, it would be NR cables (either Alpha or Delta) to the Triton, and for Sources, it would be EF (Alpha or Delta). Or would you recommend to all NR cables for all gears?

Please let me know your thoughts, and recommendations. Much appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanh
