Shunyata Hydra

I have perhaps a dumb question as to the connections for the Hydra. Do you guys run all your gear (amp(s)/pre-amp/sources) through a single hydra which is obviously connected to a single wall outlet?

I run all my front-end gear through the Hydra 8, plus the subwoofer sections of my loudspeakers. The Hydra 8 has its own dedicated 20A circuit. My power amp plugs directly into the wall, no conditioner. It also has its own dedicated 20A circuit.

Not a dumb question, I asked the same when I purchased mine.
I plug all my gear into it and it works great for my system, it's a non-current limiting (passive) device.
Other sytems and preferences may vary.

Thanks everyone.

I wired three independent armor shielded 10g – 20amp circuits to my A/V closet where all my gear is. I don't have a lot of stuff (minimalist approach), but I figured one circuit for the front power amp(s), one for the sources & pre/pro, and the last for the rear and side amp(s) [this being a home theater and listening room].

I am still trying to figure out the differences between the various shunyata hydra models currently offered other than the number of outlets, and their respective prices. However, maybe all I need is one, and run everything through it.

I used to have the Hydra 8 and have had the PS Audio P1000 and now have the BPT 3.5 Signature. The BPT is so much more quiet and transperant than the other two, it really is in another league. It is by far the BEST PLC I have ever had in my system. I could not be happier.....I even have my VAC amp plugged into it. I draws 500W a channel and I finally have no limiting of dynamics that I noticed with the Hydra and it does not add anything, like I noticed with the PS Audio.
