Shunyata V Ray

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.

This is a really beautiful power supply. Now, I have to figure out if I can afford it?

Indirstr8s,
Yes, the V-Ray really has a break in period. My soundstage is the deepest and most focused it has ever been. The amount of nuances and micro details I am hearing from my familiar recordings is also improved. This upgrade was very much worth it for me.

Does anyone also compare Hydra 8 + Python Alpha vs Hydra V Ray + Voodoo? I mean to compare the price/performance.

Klinsmanner,

The huge difference is in the power conditioner's. The power cord difference isn't as noticeable.
