Shunyata Hydra 4 vs PS Audio UPC 200

I am running a PS Audio UPC and it works well. Though I am saving up for an ExactPower or maybe a BPT. I dont think you will go wrong with either the PSAudio or the Shunyata. But dont expect miracles, that is, unless your power is rather dirty.

If your A/C is clean, I would recommend trying your power Amps direct from the wall and your Preamp and Source from the Power Conditioner/Surge Protector. That is how my system sounds best.

Thanks guys !
Btw what kind of feets do you have under your CD33 Davt ?

I have a Hydra 4 with a Jolida cdp connected to it. It definitely improves sonics, however I have never compared it to any other plc. Your best bet is to try both plc's in your system and decide for yourself. It's very hard to make suggestions between 2 plc's unless you've compared them in your system.

Here's a review that may help - although it covers the Ultimate Outlet and Hydra2 and not the UPC vs Hydra4.

Grisslehamn, I have a Billy Bags Pro1.5 rack. I do not have any isolation under the Arcam at this point, other that the stock feet. I may try a set of Still points without the riser attachments but have to spread my funds out a bit as I am looking to upgrade my TT and considering new speakers.
