Advice on changing power conditioners
I'm currently using a 7 year old Hydra 8 in my main system and would like to create some extra shelf space by going to a floor stander behind the rack. Anyone have any thoughts on whether a new PS8 with Defender would provide similar performance to the older Hydra? Would this be an upgrade, downgrade, or lateral move? Or do I need to step up to the Hydra AV? Thanks for advice and recommendations.

Use the money you save to buy a better power cord or just have a cool one and enjoy the music. Cheers!

The tweaker in me wouldn't allow me to just stand the Hydra on its face. I'd have to make a base with some outriggers and spiked feet.

I have actually seen a Triton installed behind a rack due to space constrains and it actually worked quite well!
This would be my preference with the Hydra 8 compared to the purchase of the Hydra AV. Save you money for more music! |
