Mine's a wholly different system and configuration, RLF, so apply as many grains of salt as you deem appropriate.
I've moved my original-version Hydra and its connect-to-the-wall Venom NR v10 from my bedroom system to the living-room A/V system. Populating its six outlets are my turntable, phono preamp, Sony Bravia 40" flat screen (with a Wireworld 5/2 PC), conrad-johnson Premier 17LS line stage and TEAC DAC (both w/ upgradded-plug WW 7), and Comcast cable box.
The results...
Video: More vivid colors and sharper contrasts, including more noticeably natural skin tones, without any discernible trace of distorting video "noise" artifacts.
Audio: Increased resolution, vocal and instrumental clarity, soundstage dimensionality, and dynamic contrast. No fuzziness, no distortion even on loud transient passages.
Is it possible that any of your NR 10s have near-90-degree turns between your power distributors and the components they feed? That could affect the power cord's performance.
