hydra 8 vs hydra 6 differences

Shel50 -

do not waste any time, go for the V-Ray v1 or v2.

The Hydra 6 uses less of the ZrCa-2000 noise reduction compound compared to the Hydra 8 II.

There is no ZrCa-2000 noise reduction compound in the Hydra 6.

I'm in the process of getting some of your products.
My options are: Used Hydra 6 or New Venom PS8 + Defender.
Which one is the best option?
Thanks.

The Hydras model 2, 4 and 6 are very similar in concept, design and material
construction as well as performance. They are purposefully specialized, direct devices intended to provide circuit to circuit noise isolation and system protection without interfering with peak or continuous current delivery.

The Hydra 8 and Hydra 8 V-Ray both v1 and v2 models are far more complex in material construction. They use direct independent circuit wiring instead of buss straps, an inner chassis housing the ZrCa compounds and large copper buss array, in addition to more elaborate filtration methods. There are definite and obvious sound differences between the 8 outlet models and the 6, 4 and 2 that are best qualified through evaluation. If you have specific questions feel free to contact us directly.
