I have an 8-year-old Hydra 8 going strong and think it's great; really reduces hardness. I use it all everything but my power amp. I also have a Vray II for a headphone system and it's also great for the same reason.
Shunyata Hydra: lifespan, new models?
I've been using Shunyata Hydra conditioners for quite a while now; an 8 for everything except my monoblocks, which are run off a 2. They have worked well in my system.
1) Do these components have a lifespan? Mine are about 6 years old, with moderate use (mostly on weekends).
2) Since I bought mine, Shunyata has introduced the V Ray and recently another one (Talos? -- not sure of spelling). Has anyone compared the newer vs the original? Worth the upgrade??
