Default Transparent Audio PIR exposed
Well, this is how it look inside of this power conditioner.
I was trying to replace sockets with Furutech GTXs, but the center
screw were of different sizes, didn't want to enlarge these holes.

>$3,000 on my case.
But have you seen inside Hydra ?
I can say all passive line conditioners have basically the same parts inside, some may use bus bars rather than wires, some use more expensive C, L. But there is nothing special inside, TR may sealed it to prevent vibration. However, these Transparent PIR did improve sound on my system, can't remove it once tried, until RSA Maxim came.

Ha, This rekindles memories of the infamous cutting open of a MIT speaker cable box by Corey Greenberg many moons ago-found couple of resistors and a cap or two for mega $$$$'s--ha!

$1500 Hydra 6 I once opened:



Shunyata even went as far as to claim 'no point to point wiring', 'solid copper bus bars'.

Not everyone charges those kind of prices. Now compare Hydra to Gigawatt, which in EU costs 990 euro (1500 euro for the Hydra 6) and that includes a high quality PC, which sells for 300 euro by itself.

There was a LOT more than just a couple of caps and resistors.
