I just went to the Shunyata Research website. They all do not have the same parts. The 8 has a FeSi-1002 noise reduction compound and a massive cryogenic grade CDA-101 copper bus array. The 6 and 4 have 7 guage wire and a solid silver distribution bus. The 2 has 10 gauge wire. The only difference between the 6 and 4 is the venom filter element. The 4 has 7 elements, while the 6 has 10 elements. Everything else--surge protection, etc--is the same for the 4 and 6. I've got an original Hydra that I'm very happy with, but I've never heard any of the new models. However, it stands to reason that with differences in design, there will be differences in sound. You could contact Shunyata Research. I've talked to them recently. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. Best wishes. Stan
Which Shunyata Hydra is best sounding?
Hi
I am planning to get Hydra 4 but not sure which one is the best sounding.Somebody told me that it is Hydra 2 because there is no curcuit breaker in chain.Can go as far as Hydra 6 though due to money shortage.If anybody out there experimented with Hydras i would appreciate some feedback.Thank You in advance.
