One unit you want to take a closer look at, in addition to the ones you listed, is the Exact Power SP15A, alone or togehter with its balanced brother, the SP15 A. I had the same choice at my time (three or two years ago), and think the EP is superior to the Shunyata and PS Audio, esp. as far as practical considerations - e.g. plugging in power amps, space, and money-performance-ratio are concerned. Take a look at the archives here, and check out their site exactpower.com
Hydra vs PS Audio vs Equitech
I am looking for something to clean up the sound on my system and let the music shine through. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience between Shunyata Hydra, PS Audio, and Equitech? What are the strenths and weaknesses of each?
I will be using the units to plug in the following
Ayre V-5Xe
Arcam AV8 Pre/Pro
Arcam DV-27
Marantz MA-500 monoblocks
