Shunyata Research

Do Shunyata sell the power connector/noise filter on its own?  If so, I could plug it into a spare socket and still get the noise cancelling effect. 
As you are a certified distributor and have the ear of Caelin, could you suggest this to him and convey his reaction to this proposal, please?

Actually this already exists, just not in UK spec. It's called the Venom Defender:

I use a couple of NEMA 240V versions with my US sockets. I'll ask Caelin about a UK version, and far as I know there aren't any plans to offer one.

I wonder why they don’t do a U.K. version? IMHO, they are missing a trick here as there would surely be a market for it. If Caelin (or you) could do a demonstration with the Venom Defender, in a similar vein to the demo he does with power cables, and the price was around the £200 mark, I think he’d be on to a winner.

Hi Axel we are only really starting out in the UK market and there are still many products that haven't been ported to UK specs yet. So far we have all of the power cords and the UK6 power distributor (and obviously all the signal cables). The next stage is to bring the Denali to the UK and this is currently undergoing testing for certs... it's crazy how much time this takes. This unit has been ready to go for several months now.

I agree it would be great to have a UK Defender, however I understand there are a number of issues surrounding the design of such a unit due to the nature of the UK plug, then we have the small matter of certs.

As the UK market develops I am sure we will be able to look at more products. I'm all for this as you can probably imagine! 

With that said I don't know of any other cable manufacturer that has put quite as much effort into developing a UK plug, I understand this took over 2.5 years to develop. Most other companies are using Furutech connectors to terminate their "high end" UK power cables.
