"It's not a giant killer, but some may find it to be a fine slayer of humdrum and/or colored mid-fi level power cords."
I kind of prefer giant killers relative to colored mid-fi. Did you intentionally temper you enthusiasm?

The term giant killer is a notion that's often not met in reality. Too often hype is involved in such a bold level of enthusiasm. The Venom3 is not a giant killer. It won't out-perform true giant killers such as the VH Audio AirSine power cord which is in a much higher (and pricier) league.
Yes, it's difficult to grasp a notion like giant killer if no example of a giant(VH Audio AirSine) is expressed.
When you say, "...some may find it to be a fine slayer of humdrum and/or colored mid-fi level power cords.", I think it would be helpful to identify them for the sake of clarity.
I don't like to put down specific cables. By humdrum and/or colored I would generalize the notion of power cords that fall short of satisfactorily delivering various audiophile listening cues, including coherancy and dynamics, and/or may emphasis and/or veil particular frequency regions, etc.
All cables and power cords for sure are system and gear depended. The AC9 could work extermely well with some gear than with others where it might not work as well.
I do own the AC 9 and it took a month to the burn it in and before that was slow and sluggish. then thin to forward then settled in between the two extremes.
It's not the best out there, but it is not garbage either. I love it on my video gear and on Plasma it really did well as good as my $$$$$ power cord did.
