These peripheral type devices like turntable motors; there is not that huge difference. These devices generally do not benefit by better DTCD (current) performance. But they are quite sensitive to CCI (component to component interference). So, the Venom V14 Digital was built specifically to address these components quite effectively. Does that mean that you couldn't use a more expensive NR cord and get good performance - of course yes they work fine. It's just that in my opinion it is not a great allocation of the power system budget from a system analysis point of view.
