Hooked up my DNA-0.5 Rev A Gold and McCormack ALD-1 preamp to the Hydra 2 and I can honestly say it sounded as if I ha upgraded either or both components! The bass had more impact and definition, background was quieter, decay of the notes was much more noticeable. The Hydra 2 definitely worked for my system and is here to stay permanently.
Do I need power conditioning
Hello everyone.
Need some help here. My system - Esoteric P700 transported modified with Trichord Research clock & digital board with power supplies; Musical Fidelity Trivista 21 DAC; Krell KRC-HR pre-amp; Krell FPB300c power amp; Monitor Audio Studio 20SE speakers; FPB fed by dedicated mains supply; Rest from a home made distribution box (which outperforms a VH Audio Hotbox) fed from the wall by an Eichmann Express power cable; then Pure Note Sigma power cable to KRC-HR; & VH AUdio flavour 4 to rest of components.
Problem - sometimes, the system sounds wonderful with a sound stage so encompassing that you hear ambience & echoes clearly from behind the listening position. Othertimes, it loses its magic.
Question 1) - Do I need power conditioning;
Question 2) - If yes, which conditioner would you recomment.
Any help & advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
