Equi=Tech or Shunyata / Hydra

Try the Ensemble, good price & will blow away the high price PC's. 1 meter is only about $480. It is even better than the King Cobra's.

Good Listening

If you are looking for the king of PLCs, you should also put the Sound Application CF-X on your list. I own 2 Hydras as well as a CF-X, and in my estimation I think the CF-X beats the Hydras. The Hydras do lower the noise floor, but to my ear ther is a slight dulling of the highs. The CF-X lowers the noise floor even more so than the Hydras, however it actually improves the highs in the process. I do think the Hydra is good, just not as good as the CF-X.

I have had a number of the different power devices in my system and so far the HYDRA is by far the best.

I have had quite a few through here and all did something well, but ultimately, they left for a reason. Whether it was loss of dynamics or slight coloration, I simply was not satisfied until I put the HYDRA in my system.

Beleive it or not, there is a break-in period with it. The first 3-4 days it is not even close to at it's best. Once it has been on for a long enough period of time, with devices plugged into it, the HYDRA is wonderful. It lowers the noise floor quite a bit without limiting dynamics. All components are greatly improved when plugged into it.

As far as the equi-tech, I have not heard it for myself, but I have friends that were not crazy about it. They now own the HYDRA.

Hope this helps.
