Shunyata's Guardian 4 vs Hydra 4s

I Had the opportunity to hear these side by side & i much preferred the Hydra 4s refinement, more detailed and more blacker than background advantage compared to the Guardian 4.
Guardian 4 is no slouch though.
I'll probably get the Hydra 4s.

Thanks Cerrot, yeah, have the same observations.
I will be using the Hydra4s with the python powercords.
Looking forward to having these in my system.

Now have the hydra 4s along with python 20amp cord. Nice ! Nice! good stuff & many thanks for those recommendations.
