the Shunyata Hydra crapped out when used with my amplifier. So will be donating the Hydra to the needy.Be sure to contact Shunyata for warranty coverage. BTW, if your Hydra was operating properly...(and it's rated up to 20amps)...then you might have a dangerous situation with your household wiring or breaker box. You might consider having it checked by an electrician. Do you ever trip circuit breakers? If the Hydra's protection circuitry kicked in, then it's odd that your circuit breakers didn't trip without it...unless your circuit is rated higher than 20 amps. Anyway, yours is a puzzling situation. Something seems abnormal to me, but I'm no electrician... |
So, you didn't have a Hydra crap out on you? You were just havin' a little fun? You ought to indicate the joke with a smiley. Many people read these posts and take them at face value. Yours could be easily taken as fact and send the wrong message. Mr. Shunyata. :) |
Joe, then I go back to my earlier suggestion that you take a look at your electrical system. Frankly, I'd be concerned about a fire if one, 100 watt, Class A power amp is blowing a 20 amp rated power conditioner. I don't work for Shunyata. Don't sell Shunyata. I own Shunyata. I've owned or auditioned Audio Magic, BPT, Sound Application, OneAC, Brickwall and Panamax. So, I offer opinion based on my experience in my own system. Opinions are all you can expect here on Audiogon. You and I had a discussion in a thread in which the author specifically asked a question about Hydra conditioners and to which I responded as a Hydra owner. Then you asked me a specific question about the Hydra and your amps. Accusing me of being a shill for Hydra is a bit disingenuous based on this exchange. I went to some length to research an answer for you. Frankly, it doesn't matter which conditioner you choose. I want you to be satisfied and have as much info as possible with which to make a good decision. The Panamax, OneAC, Brickwall all have worked with a 600wpc Bryston 14B SST which I sold years ago. The BPT, Hydra and Sound Application were all used with a 110 wpc KT88 push-pull tube amp. BTW, if you're aware of the many other companies that make a better product than Shunyata, it's curious that you continue to seek advice here. You would seem to have the answer already. Remember to contact Shunyata for warranty on your Hydra. :) |
