Anyone have experience in comparing the Shunyata hydra 6 vs the Auduence AR6 power conditioners?I have heard both are quite good-any advantage of one over the other?

Neither. The one you want to demo is the Synergistic Research Tesla Powercell 10SE; my friend had the Shunyata and after my recommendation to try the SR stuff he dumped all his Shunyata. I owned the Audience 12T and while a great unit pales in comparison to the SR.
Jafant, the Tesla Powercell makes the soundstage come alive and more 3D. The noise floor is lowered allowing more detail and fullness of the notes to pass through without sounding analytical. I can't think of anything it does wrong. It doesn't protect equipment like the audience in case of a spike, but I am not worried about that. Everyone friend who has tried the Powercell has purchased one. Add the Galileo speaker cells and it gets even better. This is by far the best tweak I have ever added. If it's child's play, so be it, it sounds awesome.
