Shunyata Hydra 8


Can i use other brands of power cord (such as Cardas, Kimber, VD,.....)connecting the hydra from the wall?

Yes of course, as long as the IEC connector is of the 20 amp variety, you're fine.
Yes, yes, yes.....I would specificilly suggest a Elrod EPS-3 Signature, or Statement of you have the cash. I've personally found this to work better than the Shunyata Anaconda Matrix Alpha or Vx.

A 15 amp cord won't fit into your Hydra 8 w/o an adapter. If you plan to keep the Hydra 8, I would recommend a 20A cord, as I feel adapters veil the sound slightly.
