PS Audio Quintet with Shunyata Hydra

Get into 4 or 6 or 8,(lots of them out there).If your ears and system are half descent...your in for substantial upgrade,cant tell you what a differance it made.all system dependent i believe in that,Its always worth trying.

I have a feeling that changing to another PS Audio cord won't give me a big different like changing to Shunyata. I upgraded from PS Audio Prelude SC to Plus SC but I did not hear any differences. Changed to the Python give me a lot.

I changed from the hydra 2 to the 4 and the differance was Quite substantial.Someone took the veil off my system,Not to take away from psquintet but i think rcrerar got it right.The hydra two i believe is evey bit the quintet and more acording to reveiws.Leave it up to your own ears,But for my experience the two isnt even close...imho.(stick with shunyata cable).

I don't think the Hydra is over the Quintet. Just that the Plus SC power cord is NOT a very good cord. You need the Statement SC to bring out the best of the Quintet.

You need to make a fair comparison between power cords. I think the Python Helix Alpha is way more expansive than the Plus SC, more than double?

The PS Audio Quintet is an excellent entry level product,but the Shunyata Hydra series is a whole other level, and would be a significant improvement over the quintet in every way.
