Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner

Krell man,

I have mine plugged into my Hydra 8 in a outlet that my Sony HD Shares. My Audio is on different circuits.

Everything matters in Audio and probably Video.
With my Video set up ,I am using Quick Silver Extreme Gold contact Silver paste on all my connections (F connectors, AC plugs, etc. )
My HDMI cables have silver conductors.
My Hydra 8 is on a dedicated circuit.

So, perhaps all this has allowed the Noise Destroyer to bring out additional information.

Everything matters, there is a marked difference with the Noise Destoyer on my set up.

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.
