I looked at the PS Audio, Richard Gray, and the Hydra. I settled on the Hydra. It made a hugh difference, both in soundstage and clarity. The Hydra comes with a Shunyata Sidewinder, which is, I think, their lowest end cord, and I'm sticking with cords in that price range or lower for now.
As an aside to functionality, it is a beautiful, extremely well-constructed piece of equipment and comes in a small crate that challenges the package throwers ability to damage.
