Hydra 8/Hydra 6 vs PS Ultimate outlet?

Currently using PS Audio hc Ultimate outlet on preamp/cdp with VD nite replacing stock input AC. Any experience/comparison to the Hydra 8 or Hydra 6 and any rec's on input power cords incl non-Shunyata? I only anticipate using on preamp/cdp. Thanks.

I just replaced a Power Director with a BPT 3.5 Ultra and am very impressed. I have not used the Hydra. So, I cannot help you there. However, if you go to Audiocircle.com, you will find a comment from a guy who had the Hydra 8 for a month and sent it back after he heard the BPT for 2 days.

That's really good to know. The Clear Image T4 is much better built than the BPT's. If you can find a used one don't hesitate.

I had the PS Audio P300 for a few years. Just sold it and bought the latest Hydra. It sounded much better than the P300. But the P300 couldn't accomodate my Mark Levinson power amp. I can plug in everything from source to power amp into the Hydra. My system do sound better IMHO. Perhaps someone out there who have the PS600 and the Hydra could give you better assessment.
