It came out of power cords developed by Clear Image Scientific, Shunyata's sister company that sells power products for medical digital imaging, and it was designed for cardiac digital imaging devices.

If your device is a DAC, preamp, amp, that operates at any level in the analog domain, you should ideally use a Venom NRv10 or NRv12 power cord, or higher-specification.
Still I find it strange that the value increases on my EMI device when using the V10 NR powercord compared to a standard cord.
The device is measuring the EMI in the electrical system, I know it's just a simple device giving a measurement in mV, I am not fixated on the number displayed but I can see the change during the day, low numbers in the morning, slowly increasing during the day.
My system sounds best in the morning and late in the evening. So for me there is definitly a goal to get the readings as low as possible.
Thats's why I don't understand the higher readings with a powercord designed to reduce noise.

The EMI device is measuring upto 10mhz, the shunyata power cord specifies-12db@1mhz NR

Here's a suggestion: put it in an listen to it.

That's a fine suggestion, but not the question answered.

After two weeks I have taken the Venom V10 NR out of my system, it will be going back to the dealer, after burning in it sounded "flat" compared to the Ansuz C1 powercord I am using now. The treble is grainy with the Shunyata power cord and the soundstage compressed. I understand the Ansuz C1 is a more expensive powercord, but somehow this experiment has put me off trying the more expensive Shunyata offerings.

The base of my system is all Ansuz, D2 distribution block and D2/C2/C1 powercords, that probably influenced the outcome a bit (synergy)

It is all about synergy. What works well, exceptionally well, or not perfect in one person's system does not mean universally that it will or will not work well in another system due to differences in components and hearing. You start to get used to that in this hobby after trying out a lot of things. Once you establish a baseline signature sound for your system, it becomes easier to hear if a change is better or not, or simply a lateral move, just sounding different.

agreed, many times a change is not more then a side step, this time it was a step back.

Ivan’s shipment of two V14 NRs for my streamer and switch completed NRs for all the components connecting to my P15. I’m hearing bass more clearly and more nuance on voice. Another layer of grime I didn’t know was there gone.

Quick reminder about what Puma’s been saying on having noise filtering to prevent component noise going back to regenerator/whatever.

Yes, a major source of noise in a system is from the power supplies of the components themselves. If you are interested in a even higher level of performance and a more engaging presentation, consider a Shunyata power distributor. These work in tandem with the power cord to enhance and extend noise attenuation while concomitantly not impacting dynamic transient current delivery (which is a difficult engineering trick to pull off).
