Shunyata Hydra 8 vs Audio Excel. World Power Wing

Check out the forum discussion where Dave, 'Calloway', says that he compared them and bought the Power Wing.

I auditioned the Hydra 6 against the Power Wing and the Hydra 6 wasn't even in the same ballpark. I've had my Power Wing XP for a year and a half, and just had it upgraded with the Oyaide outlets.

I've never really had a thought of replacing it. The blackness increased, and I never even dreamed that it could. The soundstage also deepened about another 50-75% with the artists and instruments layered and separated within it.

What power cord are you using for the power wing? I to was concidering a Hydra then came across some good reviews on the Power wing.

I own the power wing as well and it is the best power source I have ever used. Krell Mans experience matches my own

Just to be fair - the Hydra 8 and the Hydra 6 are very different animals (very different materials used) ... Moreover, why would you ever compare the $1000 Hydra to the $2600 power wing?
