I'd like to second an earlier post asking for a listening omparison between the Shunyata Hydra and the Exact Power EP/SP combo. Has any one auditioned both?
It doesn't appear that the two power solutions compare like apples to apples. The Shunyata webpage says that the Hydra filters noise and isolates the components from each other, but does not claim that the unit regulates voltage.
Shunyata doesn't say how the Hydra's component isolation is accomplished, but apparently it does not offer a dedicated iso transformer for each outlet, as with the PS Audio Power Plant Premier. From the ExactPower webpage, the EP15a only separates the digital outlets from the rest. Can anyone make the case for the further isolation of EVERY component from every other component, via separate iso transformers or other filtering methods; or should it be sufficient to isolate the digital gear only?
