Shunyata Venom PS8 Power Distributor?

Has any one tried the new PS8 Power Distributor from Shunyata? Just picked a new viper ztron power cord, and was shocked by the difference it made on the amp! I have a cary tube amp and 303T SACD cd player. I am probably going to try Venom-HC Power Cord for the cd player or another viper. But need a power distributer/ surge protector first. I was in the dealer and he suggested the Shunyata Venom PS8 Power Distributor. Because of the current my amp draws plus the cd player and price! I was Considering the HYDRA AV POWER CONDITIONER over then the venom PS8 but people say the the Hydra AV is a power conditioner. Which most people say is not suited for tube amps.

-Has any one tried both the Shunyata Hydra AV over the venom ps8?
-Whats the differences?
-Would The Ztron Viper power cord make the venom ps8 perform better then the Venom HC cord that is matched for it?
