Shunyata V Ray

I already upgraded from the HYDRA 8. After 2 weeks I feel my system's noise floor has again been lowered and the bass is tighter. Imaging is also more focused. It basically took what the HYDRA 8 was doing to the next level.

OK, They almost doubled the price on this unit. My question to Analogtroll. Was it worth it?

Analogtroll,

What is the percentage improvement on this piece?

At this point there is no way I can improve my system by 100%. That being said, the system is more quiet and the sound stage more defined. I guess there is 20 to 25 % improvemet in those areas. With the law of diminishing returns, I think that's pretty good.

I just replaced my Hydra-8 by the Hydra V-Ray. My immediate impressions are,
same as those of analogtroll, though I will venture to say that I feel improvement of around 35%. Maybe my power supply is lot more dirtier and V-Ray turns out to be more effective in this case.

Analogtroll: Any experience with the breakin/runin of the unit.
