Shunyata V Ray

Analogtroll,

What is the percentage improvement on this piece?

At this point there is no way I can improve my system by 100%. That being said, the system is more quiet and the sound stage more defined. I guess there is 20 to 25 % improvemet in those areas. With the law of diminishing returns, I think that's pretty good.

I just replaced my Hydra-8 by the Hydra V-Ray. My immediate impressions are,
same as those of analogtroll, though I will venture to say that I feel improvement of around 35%. Maybe my power supply is lot more dirtier and V-Ray turns out to be more effective in this case.

Analogtroll: Any experience with the breakin/runin of the unit.

This is a really beautiful power supply. Now, I have to figure out if I can afford it?

Indirstr8s,
Yes, the V-Ray really has a break in period. My soundstage is the deepest and most focused it has ever been. The amount of nuances and micro details I am hearing from my familiar recordings is also improved. This upgrade was very much worth it for me.
