| Approaching Nirvana? Where is My Achilles Heel? I'm thinking that to best utilize my two dedicated 20a outlets, the Ultimate Outlets might be the better choice. Using dedicated outlets removes the issue of contamination of digital noise, and provides the benefit of not limiting current (which I... | |
| Approaching Nirvana? Where is My Achilles Heel? Plato, thanks for your reply. I actually misunderstood which product you were talking about...I mistook the Power Cell for an Ultimate Outlet High Current conditioner. Thanks for helping me clear that mistake. | |
| Good musical speakers that go low? Help Drken, you have another thread asking about Vandersteen 3A speakers. Are these being considered in addition to those mentioned in this thread? If so, you might think about consolidating your request, including speaker performance, size and placem... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Ozzy, now that's what I call full use of the Hydra 8!John, you might take a look at the PS Audio Ultimate High Current conditioner as an alternative to the Hydra 2. Does not limit current,filters common mode and differential mode noise, does not u... | |
| Approaching Nirvana? Where is My Achilles Heel? Hey, Plato, thanks for mentioning the PS Audio conditioners. I'd forgotten about those! But, a look at your virtual systems shows none of the PS Audio products listed. Do you use PS Audio yourself? Does your recommendation of their products come f... | |
| Good musical speakers that go low? Help Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III SE...goes to 16hz...46" tall...around $4k used. | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John, as you said, Samuel may have identified the two key points that explain the Hydra 8 vs. Hydra 2 observations that were made by Mr. Perry. An explanation in Mr. Perry's review as to the causes would have been educational and avoided some need... | |
| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? Good point, John. Well said. Sean...?By the way, Chris Venhaus of VH Audio does basically this exact thing in his Hot Box w/Filter upgrade. He might be willing to rig outlets with filter caps. Not sure how easily they'd fit into a gang box, though? | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John, you may be correct, but I don't agree with you at this point in time. If your theory is correct, it seems to me there would be a substantial drop-off in performance from the Hydra 8 to the Hydra 2. If this is true, then Clement Perry's obser... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets Sean, there is no black and white. We agree on that account. Yes, I prefer to rely on manufacturer claims until those claims are indisputably proven false or incorrect. I'm not generally prone to conspiracy theory. It's part of the innocent until ... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John, I believe the number of Venom filter elements directly correlates to the number of duplexes in each Hydra unit. Therefore, it makes sense the Hydra 2 would have fewer Venon elements than the Hydra 4, and the Hydra 4 have fewer Venom elements... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets Gladstone, it's not about blame. It's about product claims made by the manufacturer and whether they hold up under real world use. Frankly, I tend to side with a manufacturer until the claims are proven untrue. I have yet to see any empirical evid... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets Assuming the reason for plugging amps and analog gear into outlets separate from digital gear is to eliminate digital hash in the power supply to the analog equipment, and assuming the back filtering Venom technology in the Hydra conditioners work... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? I like the way you think, Rsbeck. | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John, other than the use of FeSi-1002 compund on the Hydra 8, I have not read of filtering increasing through the Hydra product line either on the Power Snakes website or in reviews, although I have read Clement Perry's Stereo Times review in whic... |
