I'd been looking at the EF version, which didn't list the gauge in the initial copy. But, it pays to scroll down all the way, as the specs are definitely there. I'd missed it before. Thanks! In too much of a hurry, I guess.
So same gauge as the Venom HC (perfect), but would there be a significant advantage with either Delta? The Venom HC extension plus whichever cord I get will be connecting a voltage regulator to the wall, which supports some of my gear plus another line conditioner (which has gear plugged into it as well). Thanks again for your patience with a semi-audiophile such as myself and my pretty basic questions. I'm still learning.

The Delta conductors are superior because they are VTX. Which means they are constructed as a 'virtual tube'. This construction reduces any skin effects and reduces the inductance of the wire for an equivalent gauge.
Also, the NR version has built-in 'noise reduction' via our CCI filters. The Delta cables are 'noticeably' superior to the Venom-HC from the feedback we have received from customers worldwide.

I've been really impressed with the VENOM PS8 I picked up about a year ago and have been looking to upgrade the cable going to the wall. I had originally thought I'd go with the Alpha HC. I'm using the VENOM DEFENDER and am now wondering if there is any issue with using the NR Alpha with it. Would the NR Alpha be a worthy upgrade? Or should I look for last years Alpha HC?

I recently purchased another PS8 for a small system in a different room (with modest amplifier wattage) Rather than getting the Venom HC I bought a Delta NR power cord instead. Sounds great and looks good. Pleased so far.

Do you have a Venom HC from your first PS8? If so, how does it compare to the Delta NR? Delta seem like an upgrade?

No. MY first PS8 is in a system that does both home theater (5.1) and 2 channel audio. The main power conditioner is a Hydra Talos with Ztron Cobra power cords to the wall (which is a dedicated 20 amp circuit) and to the Classe Sigma SSP processor and the Sigma Amp5. The 4K Sony disc player and the LG OLED 4K TV set also go into the Hydra. The PS8 was added for overflow items including 3 wall warts, a SONOS connect, and a Bluesound Vault2. Sorry I could not be of more help. Last edited by Richard D. George; 09-10-2017 at 07:01 PM. Reason: typo |

Hello Carlin and Grant,
May I ask when using Denali 6000T, is sigma nr significantly better than sigma ef? I’m asking because in the website, pairing sigma ef with 6000t is recommended as one of the possible applications. Many thanks! |
