| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? Sean,Thanks for referring me to this thread from my own.Your suggestion for parallel line filters at each of the outlets that feed the amps sounds great. Simple. Cost effective. Less is more. BUT, like many others, I don't want to fool around with... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Rgs92,Thanks for your observations about the analogue outputs on the Hydra 8. If I do get the Hydra 8, I'll keep that in mind.John | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Ozzy,Thanks for sharing your experience about using one Hydra versus two in your system.Is here a sonic difference in using the APL with Hydra 8 versus with Hydra 2? If so, is the cost difference worth it? Or, let me ask it in another way. What mo... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Tvad,Besides the FeSi-1002, the differences in the filtering are also in the Venom Noise Filters. According to the specifications on the Shunyata's product page: Model 2 uses a 4 element Venon Noise Filter, while Model 4 uses 7, Model 6 uses 10, a... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Tvad, At each step, as you go from Hydra 2 to 4 to 6 to 8, additional filtering is available that is not available in the previous. According to the reviews, each successive model provides additional sonic benefits. If I recall correctly Hydra 8 i... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Ozzy,I'm curious about your experience in using two Hydras instead of one. What sonic and musical benefits do you notice when you plug in the amp into the Hydra 2 and the APL into the Hydra 8 instead of plugging in the amp and APL into the Hydra 8... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Sean,Although I started this thread with the aim of determining a short list of PCs for the APL 3910, the related subject of power conditioning is also of immediate interest to me. So, I appreciate your expertise.Your comments regarding Hydra's de... | |
| Review: Denon APl 3910 CD Player Brent, While waiting for my APL 3910 to arrive, I'm trying to come up with a short list of PCs for the APL as a starting point to find an optimal one for my system. In view of your dramatic results with the Elrod EPS sig 2, I'll give it a try. Giv... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Steve, Thanks for joining the thread. This is Cantate Domino John.For everyone else's information, this thread was inspired by my experience at Steve's house. Steve was gracious to allow me to come to his house to audition the APL 3910. I drove 25... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Tvad,I read the comment about the Hydra on the webb. I've read dozens of threads on Audiogon and AudioAsylum in the past two weeks and I simply don't recall where I found it. If I should run across it again I will let you know.Your comments about ... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Howard,Your elucidation was helpful. In particular, I think your statement "The music feels slower, more open, with the energy of the players, and either it or I am more relaxed because I feel like I've been let in to the music." conveys the spiri... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Tvad and Ozzy,Thanks for your input. I'm contemplating on getting a Hydra 4 or 8. Which one? That will depend on whether or not I will also use the Hydra for my amps. I read that Hydra 8 limits current. If that is true, I would then get the 4 for ... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Boa2, Thanks for your descriptive comments about the sonic synergy between the Mini Khan Plus and the APL. I also appreciated your relative rankings of the four PCs.I agree with you that the end result is a product of all the elements in the syste... |
