Shunyata Venom NR-12 power cable, C15 with Australian power plug, in the standard 1.75m length. The V12 cable is ideal for lower power applications such as DACs, preamps, linear power supplies, audiophile switches and routers etc. Excellent value for money cable, original owner purchased from aut...
This looks like a buyer’s market for this cable category, and A$450 feels a touch ambitious rather than a clear buy. New pricing for the Venom NR-V12 sat around the equivalent of roughly A$600–A$650, while recent used examples in Australia have shown up closer to A$700, so A$450 is not outrageous—but it’s not an obvious bargain either.
The appeal is straightforward: the NR-V12 is one of Shunyata’s better-regarded entry-level noise-reduction cords, often liked for cleaning up source components without flattening dynamics or tone. If it’s the standard 1.75m length, has the correct AU plug, and comes from a careful owner, it’s a solid piece to try in a system that benefits from quieter mains. At this price, the main thing to confirm is that it’s complete and genuinely in good shape; otherwise, I’d want a bit more discount.

Shunyata Research emerged in 1997 from the vision of founder Caelin Gabriel, a former U.S. military researcher specializing in ultra-sensitive data acquisition systems. Based near Seattle, Washington, the company traces its roots to Gabriel's passion for hi-fi, sparked during his deployment in Germany, where he began exploring signal and power line interference to enhance music reproduction. This blend of scientific rigor and personal drive propelled Shunyata from modest origins into a global force in high-performance electrical systems.
The brand focuses exclusively on advanced cabling and power solutions, pioneering technologies that minimize noise and optimize current delivery. Renowned for aftermarket power cords—now legendary in design—Shunyata also produces speaker cables like the Omega series, alongside conditioners and distribution systems. These custom-engineered products serve not just audiophiles but recording studios, film production, and medical environments, where measurable reductions in distortion are paramount.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Shunyata commands respect among discerning buyers for its patented innovations, backed by over two decades of research. Gabriel holds more than ten patents, earning endorsements from mastering engineers, heart surgeons, and elite studios worldwide. For the serious hi-fi enthusiast, Shunyata represents uncompromised purity in signal transmission, elevating systems to reference levels.
