Is this my Imagination? Shunyata Hydra 6 Delta and some power cords transformed my system.


No this is not product placement advertising, I recently built a new audio rack and decided to upgrade the power distribution feeding my mono block amps, Lumin streamer, and ARC CD9/ DAC. Previously I was only using PS Audio High current ultimate outlets for the amps. My system was great but had a noticeable background hiss / hash noticeable very close to speakers or on very quiet passages. Not a huge issue because I usually like loud Rock N Roll.

I have read some very impressive reviews on Shunyata Research products, but I thought that their prices were a bit wacko for power cables and conditioners. Having survived C-19, my audio motto is F-it go for it.

So, I get this power distributor with the recommended Shunyata cable and added some high end power cables from Kimber, Harmonic Tech, etc. and gave it a shot. The hiss and background hash is 100% gone. This seems to have elevated the system to a new level of clarity and detail. I can hear background vocals more distinctively, and there seems to be a much clearer decay in instruments too. More lifelike. Overall micro detail seems so much clearer. How is this possible? Has anyone else experienced similar things?

power products are highly situation and location and system dependent... if you are hearing an improvement, that is what matters
Shunyata is on the curing edge of power issues.
Like very few other companies, they have a separate division for medical and military. Ie.: power for MRI machines.
Not weird at all & great to hear. Power cables (& the right conditioners) can substantially upgrade your sound quality. It has in my system. BTW, you probably got some improvement with the new rack as well.
