I currently live in an apartment so re-wiring the building is out. I would imagine that this also adds to the garbage in the power system of the building as there are a lot of appliances going at all times, etc. Thanks for your feedback, Dave.
Help with Hydra Power Conditioner
I have a rather modest stereo that I am pretty happy with. Rotel RX1052 reciever, Rotel RCD1072 CDP, VPI HW19jr. TT, and Dynaudio 52SE speakers. I use Nordost Cables and interconnects. All was happy until I hooked up a Shunyata Hydra 4 to the system that was loaned by a freind. I was shocked. The improvement was very surprising, I was hearing background instruments that I did not know were there, I could hear notes and instruments in more of a three dimentional position, base extenstion was very surprising. AND, the cost of this little experiment was rather, well, costly. My question, is this a bit much of an upgrade for my system? Do I need to spend a huge amount on power cables or are the more modest after market cables a good choice. Any input would be much appreciated. thanks, Dave
