Very timely post from my perspective, as I just purchased a Hydra, and was wondering how far to go with cord upgrades. Thanks to above posters for the info.
Shunyata Hydra Info Available
Website now has product info posted for "hydra" http://www.powersnakes.com/hydra.htm Unit has six outlets and retails for @$2000. Hydra contains enhanced "stardust" technology found in KC2, viper, black mamba. Now the question is if you have 4 KC2s in your system your cost new is over $8000. If you buy hydra and 4 sidewinders you have spent @$3000. Is it possible that hydra/sidewinder sounds the same or better than KC2 by itself? Comments from members please.
