If the Shunyata Black Mamba is snake oil, then put me down for 55 gallons!
Yes, I have three Shunyata Power Cords in my system. I will buy a new one as soon as I can for the Amp. Drop dead quiet with the Hydra six and the DAC and CD transport.

I’m using the McIntosh MA252 as the power source, with Telefunken 12ax7’s and 12at7’s. Shunyata power cables hooked to the Hydra 6. All other cables are Straight wire Virtuosos. Not to bad, at times it sounds some what bright. Then again it dead on! 
Luxman - Shindo - Mcintosh ?
I I have done some upgrades to the McIntosh MA252. Added Telefunken 12ax7’s and 12at7’s, they dropped the noise level down a bit. Then I added Synergistic Orange Fuse to the fuse holder. The pop’s now!

Yes, with some upgrades. I have the MK2,which I had many upgrades added to it.Better Caps, WBT's, WBT RCA's and better wiring. BDR cones added for the feet, yes all this work helped me get more from this amp.

After adding the WBT RCA's and Binding Posts and Cardas wiring to the Amp, the sound just took off!The service tech had a problem with the WBT RCA's, they had to be cut or drilled to fit. I used Cardas 19AWG wiring to the Binding Posts and changed... 
Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.
Yes,I think the Quantum Physics Noise Disrupter works a little better! I found that the Stone made the sound of my equipment lifeless. It cut into the soundstage to much for me. The Quantum did less to change the sound. My system had a deep black ...

I have changed all the RCA connection and the binding posts on the amp. Added WBT's, this was also a great upgrade to the amp. The sound is much clearer now. The highs have a little air now.
