Tvad, I have not. This is more general mr shunyata. By the way the Shunyata Hydra crapped out when used with my amplifier. So will be donating the Hydra to the needy. Joe
Joefama, I use the Running Springs Audio Jaco line conditioner, which is non current limiting, with my Pass Labs XA-100's and Threshold SA-1's with great success and no sonic downside as far as I can tell.
You will get many different opinions regarding ever to put power amps on line conditioners, so you will have to experiment/audition a few to see what happens in your system.
Tvad- No puzzling situation here. Just a little sarcasm on your end. Just wanted to get a feel on other's suggestion on using Big SS power amps with a line conditioner.
Thank you Teajay. Great to see another Vintage Threshold & PASS owner. Very happy with my amps. Joe
I've ran my DNA 500 through a Hydra 2 and preferred it that way over running it straight into the wall. I noticed a slight decrease in dynamics and top end extension but the benefits were a quieter background and a lot less hash. The Hyrda's I had never gave me a problem.
