Thread: New Venom (or replacement to) line coming in 2021?

Very interesting. I bet that if were they to release a PS8 replacement, it would easily beat anything at an equivalent price point. My home theater system is already salivating. 😀

We haven't seen the products we were teased about months ago. So chances are, new products we haven't been teased about are further away than that.

I know for a fact the v2 line of everything, as well as Everest, are all having great success, and Shunyata has to fire in all cylinders to meet the demand. At capacity. That surely must have an impact on plans for launching new products

They have been catching up to demand. My most recent order shipped a week after it placed. At the start of this year, it took about three weeks.

Venom PS10 announced:

Magento Commerce

The shilling never stops.

What has surprised me is the PS10 is universal voltage. As far as I know the only previous Shunyata product that has been universal voltage was Typhon. Have they given up on building market specific voltage products? The aesthetics of PS10 I think are quite good.

I doubt it will be sold in my market any time soon. They haven't even got around to selling Denali V1 here yet.

I think the product brochure has a little typo in terms of the level of noise suppression; it claims it's >24dB when the website says:

Noise Suppression:
>10db @ (100kHz – 30MHz) line to outlets


which is in line with the noise suppression of the NR-V12 cord and the NR-V10. This is also part of what Puma subsequently posted

That's great; just ordered one

Looks like I got one of the first units, serial number 0123. Plastic casing, very tight grip and better than the Hubbells, but I also think it might be because of smaller outlet holes. Just started breaking in. I was hoping for a metallic unit, with SR-Z1 outlets, V10 NR cord. So far, I have only listened to FM and noticed that the hashies are gone, a very good sign. It's powering lesser equipment - like FM, DAC, ML speakers, turntable speed controller, headphones - and is connected to the Denali 6000S/v2. More details in a few days; if things continue on this path, then I will probably get a second one for my video system. The box appears to be generic, suited to the Venom line of conditioners plus the new Altaira grounding boxes; it's small and long, which means the Altaira will be rather shallow.

Some more details at Shunyata 6000/S v2 + Venom cords and power distributors -

Perhaps I need to join that forum so, we can talk Spectral :-)

Your perspective is missed at WBF.

I don't think you will be disappointed with the PS10. And do join, we have a new Spectral forum over there.

I'm going to purchase two of them, one for the music server room and one for the home theatre set-up. 👍

Good to see them building a universal voltage product. Gives customers in 240V land an option to own this stuff that they might not otherwise readily have.

The Pass XP-25 phono is also now plugged into the PS10, again itself fed by the Denali. The improvement here is also evident in terms of smoothness (less distortion, less edginess), linearity and less ringing in some notes, and certainly tighter and more articulate bass. This thing is an unequivocal triumph. Thank you Shunyata!

Ordered s PS10 the other day to replace my old APC unit in my equipment closet that has my Roon core, NAS, router, switch, and Control 4 components. We shall see..

Yeah...it's REALLY good. I've got the unit that was sent to me for the commercial photography for the product brochure. So, I had it set up for photo, did all the shots and edits in C1 and PS, and then put it into the main system and...was just freakin' gobsmacked as to how good it is. 🤯

I'm going get another one of 'em, and put it on the home theatre set-up.

Yeah, let me know that goes for you. It made a BIG difference when I swapped all the system's "networked audio gear" in the remote server room (i.e. Roon Core, Pace router, EtherREGEN and its LPS) from the Hydra 4 to the PS10. It was not subtle...

You really should put that you work for Shunyata in your signature.

I'm not an employee, they are a client for some occasional commercial product photography I do for them. Just as they are a client for the two other commercial photographers they work with, as well.

And one more comment on the PS10, after a few months' worth of use and experimentation. It clearly slightly limits instantaneous current delivery to equipment that depend on it. For example, my Spectral SDR-4000SV CD player clearly demonstrates this with its small-capacity power supply, but not the Pass XP-25 phono with its much more elaborate and larger power supply. At the same time, the Schiit Yggy2 DAC also remains unaffected, but both it and the phono gain from the additional filtration, in terms of sound quality. So the Spectral is now permanently plugged into the Denali v2 instead (as are all other Spectral components), which is also feeding the PS10.

Great product, nonetheless.

Anyone using the PS10 with an Everest? If so, why? Isn't the Everest good enough? What does Shunyata recommend in this case?

The PS10 is essentially a Venom NR V12 extension cord. If one needs more outlets than the Everest provides, this seems like a good solution. Shunyata used to recommend the model the PS10 replaced to gain extra outlets.
