Shunyata Power Conditioner advice

I have noticed that a number of well respected reviewers have Shunyata Power Conditioners in their reference systems. The reviews are quite glowing. In some cases the reviewers list two seperate conditioners within their systems; I assume one for amplification and one for source components. In Robert Harley's case, for example, he lists both the Hydra V-Ray v2 and the Hydra 8 v2. My question is this, "would you use the higher quality V-Ray for source or amplification?" My assumption is that you would use it for source?

I would always use the superior product for the source. Whatever qualities the source presents will be further amplified down the chain. Kind of like what Ivor T. thought about turntables.

Hi, I'm using the Shunyata cords and vray. I'd put the best you can on the source end.

I like my amps using Shunyata cord right to the wall-seem to have better dynamics, although seems like the amps are more quiet via the vray

If one has higher current capabilities, I would use it for the amp.
