P1200 vs Shunyata Hydra


Has anyone owned both or tried them out. I have read about the P300 vs Hydra but what about the PS Audio P1200. Also has anyone tried the Hydra 8 vs the Hydra 6 ?

Cheers!

I am using a P600 conncted to all my equipment (except VPI SDS). It can easily handle this load including my Mark Levinson 23.5 without any loss of dynamics. This amp is driving Thiels w/ a load somewhere between 3 to 4 ohms (about 400WPC continuous with the ML amp). I can tell you that the P600 does not overload/clip (it is actually a power amp used to "drive" your equipment) while playing as loud as I would ever desire in my ~1850 cubic foot room.

I have the digital gear seperated from the analog gear by placing an Ultimate Outlet between the P600 and the transport/DAC. I am also using a high current 20 AMP Ultimate Outlet between the dedicated 20 AMP wall outlet and the P600. I have been very pleased with the result.

I'd imagine the P1200 should be enough to handle just about any power amp around.

Good luck!
