I've gone from Hydra 8 to V-ray and then Sound Applications RLS.
My experience is that the Shunyata products are very good. They help with soundstage focus, lower the noise floor, etc. However, in my experience their downfall is that they sound too thin and clinical. I should note that I ONLY used Anaconda pc's to and from their powerconditioners.
Elrod or Kubala Sosna pc's and Sound Application conditioners sound much more natural to me (in my system).
I have also heard the Foundation Research conditioners in friend's systems and will agree with pretty much everything that was said here about them. They are as good as it gets.
Good luck.
