Recommendations for Power Conditioner Upgrade From Old Shunyata Hydra 8


I have a 19-yo Hydra 8 with a Taipan cable that I'm considering upgrading.  My recently upgraded system is about $60K in value. I do mostly streaming.  System is:  Levinson 585.5  integrated, Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers, Naim NDX2 streamer with Naim XPS DR power supply, and an old Audio Research CD3 I use as a transport into the NDX2.  The current setup with the old Hydra 8 sounds great.  I've talked to different dealers who say I can improve the sound of my system with a modern-technology power conditioner.  Dealers have recommended: Isotek EVO Aquarius or Sigmas, another recommended Audioquest Niagra 1200.  The world of power conditioners is confusing to me so I'd deeply appreciate your thoughts.  If the sonic gain is there, my budget could be $6K.  Thank you!

I agree with stereo5.
The Niagara 7000 is quite impressive especially with power amps!

Before doing that you might want to experiment with power cords for the Levinson amp. Unless you can do both at the same time.
You may have to try dozens of the power conditioners to find the right one. I’ll just add two more names that could be worth considering - PS Audio and Accuphase.
You may want to check the Naim forum as there is a lot of discussion about whether to use a power conditioner at all with a Naim power supply. I have tried my XPS DR both plugged directly to the outlet and through a power conditioner with little audible difference in the NDX 2.
Remember, the Audioquest PC will only achieve its full potential when used with one THEIR power cords ('nother $2000?)...
