Shunyata Venon-8 Power LC: Is it worth the money??


I have read many members's comments on Power Line Conditioners. Some claim they compress the dynamics of an audio system

I had Audio Prism's Audio Wedge 16 which weighed a ton but seemed to work at least in cancelling out noise and RFI interference

My question is the Shunyata Power Line Conditioner the Venom 8 worth the money at $695.00 There are ad ons which supposedly further raise the unit's performance.

I am asking because the unit is small,and lighter than the Audio Prism boat anchor I used. Please let me know if you have tried the Venom-8 PLC and whether the worth without the other upgrades; or recommend a PLC that provides better performance and....VALUE. Thanks

Jednite: You are a prince. I discarded all of my TAS , except for the 2014 Components guide and 2014 Golden Ear Awards. Too much weight to ship back to the mainland from Hawaii.

Also, I posted the thread because I gave the Audio prism Wedge 16 to Good Will. It weighed 25lbs. So I will be looking for something lighter and of newer design. I am not sure the Shunyata's price of the Venon PS8 is within, my budget especially since their add-ons can push the price over $1000 to enhance the performance of the condition

Yes, time to move from the beautiful Hawaiian Islands; unfortunately, it is too expensive to live here. So it is back to SoCal. I lived in San Diego before, but I think Los Angeles offers more cultural things to do, and great restaurants. Thanks for the links, and Aloha for now.
