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??

I went from the Hydra 8 to the first series of V Ray and got small but important improvements . Most impressive was the additional drive and momentum produced . I have not tried the new series but when my dealer gets a demo unit I will tote it home for an audition .
I'm not sure if these units have a life expectancy , but Iv'e not heard of one breaking down .
More to discover
