AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra?
I agree with John’s thoughts and statements. I would have never known there was a slight difference in sonics when using my Voodoo adapter (which I still own and use on an as needed basis) if not for eventually having one PC in the 20 amp version ...

AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra?
I own the 15A>20A adapter from Voodoo. I do like it however I noticed that it tends to color the sound. Be aware of that characteristic.

Upgraded power cords or high end conditioner next?
What Maich says is true and I agree. There have been many posts regarding this. One of the best bang for the bucks IMO. Or one can come out of a 120V outlet into an isolation transformer and modify the other end with an outlet and plug into the is... 
Upgraded power cords or high end conditioner next?
