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.
