Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner

I will admit I have not tried this Noise Destroyer.

But, it sounds strange to me that it would improve your audio and video if the ND is plugged into Hydra8. By the time current gets to it, it had already passed through all the internals of the Hydra.
This makes me think of a possibility that your Hydra8 was not performing properly or actually Hydra8 is not performing as advertised because it did not clean up the power enough to improve your AV set up performance, creating a need for additional filtering.

I personally find it not very likely.
Could your enthusiasm about it simply be an initial reaction? Sometimes we tend to hear and see things we think are there when something new is introduced into the system simply because we pay a bit more attention to certain things that we are used to already.

Can you have someone unplug it without you knowing it and see if you can tell? If you feel like it.....just as a sanity check before you order the second one......Would be interesting.....

Ozzy,
Should it not go before the Hydra or at least be pluged into the wall together with the Hydra?
Have you tried this?

I agree it really should be plugged into the same wall outlet as the Hydra 8.
However, that wall duplex outlet(wattgate) is also used with my APL 3910 which I do not plug directly into the Hydra.

By plugging the Noise Destoyer into the the Hydra's first outlet (closest to the IEC jack), I believe that outlet has a direct path to the incoming signal from the wall. Thus helping to reduce the noise going into the Hydra.

The second Noise Destoyer is plugged into another dedicated outlet with my Amp.

I did notice that with using the Quick silver Gold paste on the Video connections, even more improvement is noted on the Video.

That is how I use one of my Power Enhancers. I plug it into the same outlet as my RSA Haley, not into the Haley itself. I was advised this would be better. Since the Noise Destroyer works on the same principles I'd be inclined to think it would work better in this manner as well.

Well I just tried the (ND) Noise Destroyer on the wall duplex outlet with the Hydra 8 plugged into the other ,and the Sony HD is still plugged into the first outlet in the Hydra 8.
The result: HD TV not as good as plugging the ND into the first duplex outlet in the Hydra with the Sony HD plugged into the other.
The difference is quite remarkable.

Perhaps the improvements I am seeing is with the Sony HD and the Hydra outlet being isolated from the other outlets, in the Hydra 8 it is concentrating all the ND energy into that one duplex outlet.

So,one ND will remain in the first outlet on my Hydra 8 and my other ND will go into the wall outlet that my APL 3910 is plugged into.

I plan on purchasing a couple more and will play with additional placements with my Amp outlet, etc.
