The Hydra 8 provided the best sound in my system. Audio Tekne is also very good if you can find one. I plug the Hydra in the Monster AVS 2000 which keeps voltage at a steady 120. A must if you have tubes. The result is greater dynamics. I have had ps audio and tice products which did absolutely nothing IMO
Best Power Conditioner
Hi Folks:
I've been out of the audio upgrade path for a while, but now want to invest in a power conditioner (I'm thinking it may be the weak link in my system). I want to spend under $1k used. Last time I looked at the topic, it looked like Audio Magic Stealth was king of the hill, surpassing the likes of PS Audio, Shunyata and Sound Application. Is that still the case? I'd be using the unit to power a pair of Blue Circle BC2 amps, Supratek Syrah preamp, Bidat DAC, Pioneer 525 Transport, and likely a Marquee CRT Projector. Let me know if you have advice or recommendations! Thanks!
