In my experience with all Shunyata power conditioners (I've owned the last 4 Hydras/Triton--now the Triton 3 ), an amp always sounds better plugged directly into the wall. Even though Shunyata reps told me that amps benefit from the Triton, this has not been the case for me. Everything else I own, however, benefits from the Triton.
Should I bypass my Shunyata Hydra power conditioner?
I live in an apartment building,so I thought a power conditioner would be benificial.I'm running my Shunyata Hydra HC power cord through a Shunyata power conditioner.O.K. ,sounds pretty good. Recently bypassed the conditioner,and pluged straight into the amp ( Hegel H20 ) The music seems to sound better,especially the bass. Still using the conditioner for the DAC, and the CD player. Looking for feedback on this.
