thanks.
Get Shunyata Venom V16 power distributor....it's better than either of those two.

Plus, it has a sophisticated ground-plane noise reduction (GP-NR) stem as well.

Look at all those big-*ssed coils/chokes/inductors, whatever the frick they are, inside the Niagara 5000...gaaaahhh!!!

Trust me, you don't want these inside a power distributor....



Just ask MasterLu, he's got a couple Venom V16 power distributors he's been using; they're...great.

Had one here a while back for shooting the product shots for it (which are in the Shunyata ad in the current issue of TAS, BTW). Trust me when I say, it is...VERY impressive.

Plus MasterLu can get you one at a great price; at less than half the price of the MPC1500 or Niagara 5000. Put the savings into a good Shunyata XC power cable for it.
