BPT vs. Hydra 8- Your thoughts?

I have owned both the BPT 3.5 Sig and the Hydra 8, and they are great conditioners, but the BPT beat out the Hydra 8 in my system on all counts by a fair margin. Neither gave me any troubles with power limiting with high current amps.

I also preferred the BPT 3.5 sig over the Hydra 8. The Hydra sounded a little dark with rolled off highs in my system. On the other hand I do use the Hydra 4 on my digital, none of that darkness. Perhaps the Fesi and copper of the Hydra 8 vs. no Fesi and silver of the Hydra 4? I've also found no current limiting with the BPT

I suppose there's nothing wrong with reporting/describing one's impressions of two (or three or four) different "power treatment" devices; but unless they are all (operationally) the same kind of device, I think making any comparisons between them is inappropriate.

So for instance, saying the "BPT beat out the Hydra" is not a revelation. I'd always expect a balanced power unit to trump a conditioner of reasonably equivalent build quality regardless of brand.

Tvad, I've found the same using the GFCI outlets. As usual, preferences are all about synergy.
