Does anyone own a Shunyata Hydra?


I, pretty much, have decided on the PS audio 600, but have heard from dealers, mind you, that the Hydra "blows it away." Anyone have first hand experience with this baby? The Hydra that is..

If one takes into consideration power consumption, heat distribution, potential parts failure, complexity, and wattage rating (as well as sound quality) then it is easy to say the Shunyata Hydra "blows the PS Audio away".
You may also want to consider the Welborne Labs "Gatekeeper" - In my experienced opinion, the Gatekeeper is a "mini" Shunyata Hydra.
Try either for reduced "glare" and digital "hash", as well as reduced power line "noise".
BTW - I have owned all three so my opinion is truly based upon experience. ( I currently own the WL Gatekeeper and Hydra - sold the PS-600 because it consumed more wattage, made more heat, and was more complex than the simple SE 2.5 w.- based system it was powering!!)
