Complementary power conditioner for recent Hydra ?


I am not interested in power regeneraters.
Comments from those who have some experience with complimentary "filtering" or "conditioning" with the Hydra;
or some other highly effective, duo or more (enacoms for example as a third unit) would be very much appreciated.
It's just not practical for me to audition them. Thanks.

Lacee, I agree anything that slows the sound is not useful.
Any combo I use has the opposite effect. Even down to the use of a single AC Enacom.(I don't even know if they are made any more and my use is unique- in an unused outlet of a power conditioner :)
Well, not exactly a power conditioner for the power conditioner but rather a different kind of filtering of the ac noise.
I have not found any product to be perfect.
For example an Equitech balanced transformer is very effective but with additional MIT products and cables I use the results of the combination exceed either/any of the products on their own-by far..
My experience is that digital benefits from exceptionally clean power supply along with total isolation from the pre & power amps- mine are Spectral.
With the ever evolving knowledge/science I am always interested in improvement for ac power.
Thanks Jafant. Interesting about the plamsa tv. I have a 4 yr old Sony that's still for me, but I expect Plasma would be my next move. In dealers they seem great right out of the wall. Hard for me to imagine improvement.
Thanks Mross and Lacee.
I have upgraded all outlets to 20 amp industrial grade, leviton, I think. Cosidering an upgrade to all Hubbell HBL5362, their top industrial grade and having them all cyro'd to -300 as there's a lot of positive talk about cyro generally, and I recently discovered Ed Meitner has been using it for years.
I have dedicated lines, one digital one amp+pre.
Lacee. did you experiment puttng your other conditioning units before the Furman. I have heard it may be better. Did you compre with equitech?
With great respect for your dedicated, creative and productive research resulting in "excellent" products my experience remains valid. My ears have told me and other listeners the immense benefit of complimentary conditioning/isolation for my Spectral based system. You did say "in general" and I don't dispute that; merely mentioning there are "possibilities" and you won't know if you don't try. I have a variety of items and think a next experiment will be a power cord from you to replace one of the MIT Oracle AC3s I use. I feel privileged to have you contribute your experience & knowledge to the forum. Wishing you continued enjoyment from your dedicated research & creativity, patents, profits and contribution to our enjoyment of recorded music. I live near Vancouver,BC and certainly hope to visit your facility some time. Pete
