Shunyata conditioner

I have a Hydra 4 and a Hydra 2 in my system. The only difference between the Hydra 4 and 6 are the two extra outlets. The noise floor dropped to zero once the Hydra was inserted into my system. I have a tube preamp and can turn the volume all the way up with absolutely no hiss. I mostly buy used so I would say to go with the Hydra 6.

Leog2010,

I recommend you call Shunyata Research and ask for Grant Samuelson. I can't tell you how many times Grant has advised me to go with the "cheaper" option because it was best for my system and needs. He will give you honest advice that is not motivated by a "sale first" mentality. Every system is different and the correct choice here depends upon many variables and your own personal tastes. Shunyata is a special company and they strive for life-long customers as opposed to the quick sale. They also fully support second-hand owners of their products. It's definitely worth a phone call.

Consider the V-Ray v1 or v2.

Sound Applications. I tride both and if you can find a Sound Applications, you will be happiest. Check on AA. I saw one there a while back and he was ready to deal....
