Mating power cords with APL 3910

Tvad, Thanks for your suggestions to look at the PS Audio Ultimate High Current conditioner. I did some initial checking and read some reviews. It has a small balun type of a filter. I'm hoping someone familiar with this type of a transformer could shed some light.

Sean, can you weigh-in on this, or if you have already done so in another thread, would you be so kind as to provide a link.

Ozzy, Thanks for your response. You maxxed out the Hydra 8!

Rgs 92,
Your set up sounds great! I have run across reports by others who have been equally pleased with such a set up. Four Anaconda Alphas for my 3 amps and for a Hydra 8, together with one Anaconda Vx for my APL, plus the Hydra 8 itself will all weigh-in in the neighborhood of $12,000 at the retail level. And that's without taking the big advantage of my multiple dedicated lines. I'm just doing my homework (something my students shun) into the different possibilities before I can make such a commitment.

John, this page might be useful to compare power conditioners from several manufacturers. Also, the UPC-200 competes with the Hydra 4 and other products in this line are forthcoming.

Just FYI...

Tvad,
Thanks for the links. From my first quick read, the UPC-200 is more promising than the Ultimate High Current Outlet. However, the PS comparison tool does not yet list the UPC-200. So, I was not able to get a quick comparison with the Hydra 4. I need to do some research.

Also, I'm waiting for Grant from Shunyata to respond to my email regarding my questions about the nature of filtration and duplex/outlet isolation within the different Hydra units. Since I have multiple dedicated lines, I would like to isolated the high-current amps from the low-current APL. And, if its is not too costly to isolate the right channel from the left to reduce cross-channel talk and contamination.

John, I look forward to Grant's response, too.
You asked: "I would like to isolated the high-current amps from
the low-current APL. And, if its is not too costly to isolate the right
channel from the left to reduce cross-channel talk and
contamination."

The UPC-200 has two isolated power cell modules that I believe
accomplish what you wish to do. From the PS Audio website:
"Each module is connected to a rear mounted Power Port and is
isolated from the second internal UPC module.  This arrangement allows
the user to separately power their equipment, providing isolation for
digital and analog, or power amps and source equipment, or video and
audio."

The PS Audio product comparison chart lumps all the Ultimate Outlet
products (including the UPC-200) into one category: Standard/HC/UPC-
200.

Regardless, having read on another thread about your system and your
power cord short list, it appears you are focusing on a certain price point
which is above PS Audio and other products I've highlighted. My posts
were attempts to offer value-per-dollar alternatives to the most
expensive Shunyata products, and other stratospherically priced power
cords. I'm preaching to the wrong congregation here, so I'm going to
wish you good hunting on your power cord/conditioning quest. I'm
certain your APL is going to sound terrific with whichever product you
choose.
