shunyata hydra 2 vs. ps audio ultimate outlet

I've compared both a Hydra 2 and a high current UO in my system. I tried them both on my amp, pre-amp and CD player seperately and then in combination. Power cords on all components were VH Audio Flavor 4 Golds. I ended up liking the Hydra 2 on my pre-amp and CD player best. My amp remains plugged straight into a dedicated 20A circuit with no filtering.

With the Hydra 2 on my pre-amp and CD player the music has more bloom and body, almost like tubes, yet remains crystal clear and with quiet backgrounds. Imaging also improved as did the mid-range drive.

The PS Audio UO helped with a lower noise floor but sounded almost sterile in comparison.

Call me crazy, but I can't see where you will hear much difference between the Hydra 2 and PS Audio UO when used strictly in the low frequency spectrum of the subwoofers. I'd suggest using the PS Audio UO strictly from a lower cost point of view.

thanks guys! i can get either a hydra 2 or uohc for a bit over $300 new. currently i am pretty much sold on the hydra 2.

I'm curious about the Hydra and PS Audio UO as well, along with the Chang Lightspeed, for my own two systems--integrated tube and SS amps, Sonus Faber speakers, redbook CD players, various power cords. Aren't these power conditioners all about the same price retail? How might you compare their performances?
