Power Plant Premier vs. Hydra V-Ray Comparison

I want to buy a power conditioning system and I would like to understand which would be a better performer - the PS Audio Plant Premier or the Shunyata Research Hydra V-Ray. As they take a very different approach to solving the same problem it is hard to understand which will have a better result. Anyone had real experience comparing these two?

I have not tried the Hydra V-Ray.
I have the PS Audio Power Plant Premier and it works very well. Very dynamic, black backgrounds, transparency is great, all the detail and texture is there. The unit is very rugged and very well built. I had to give it at least 300-400 hours before it opened up. Sounds kind of dry at first before break in. It was worth the wait... Also, I think the P3 is much cheaper than the Hydra.

No fan noise at all on my PPP. Mine is silent all the time. And I have my entire system connected! I heard PS Audio has a replacement for the noisy fan and fixes the problem for free. Contact PS Audio directly.
