Shunyata Hydra

There is a recent post(last week)in the "Cables" forum that provided a few good reviews of the Hydra. "Seeking Opinions .... ", or something like that. I would add more, but after reading the descriptions of the break-in necessary, I think I should wait a few more weeks before giving my listening experience.

I really didn't mean to leave that impression Meta. My problem is that I have a hard time formulating an objective opinion when listening to slow changes during break-in of equipment. I put about 150 hours with 3-100 watt lights on it prior to installation, however, one post seems to indicate that this is not enough of a load, and it certainly isn’t enough time. (In fact, 200 hours is the minimum recommended by Shunyata.) I intend to remove it next week, and re-discover the old sound. I think the folks that posted on the other thread have more time on the Hydra, (apparently) done some decent A/B-ing and may have a better perspective.

My opinion, for what it’s worth.
