Equitech 1.5Q or Shunyata Hydra 8?


Has anyone compared these two power conditioners? Both seem highly recommended. Is the balanced power approach of the Equitech audibly superior to the noise reduction approach of the Hydra?

Just a little FWIW: you may want to think about the Audio Magic line. I have the Eclipse, but went by way of the Stealth, Digital Mini Stealth and the Matrix. You'll want to keep your analog and digital apart. The Eclipse is the only one box unit I know of that can do this better than any other due to the requirment of two power cords- I also plug into two dedicated outlets. I'm a bit of a nut job with my electric, but it's one serious component of your system. Jerry's (the Audio Magic man, himself) new Stealth and Eclipse casings are heavy duty and much richer looking and feeling than his previous stuff. I love mine, Just something else to think about. The only experience I have is with the Hydra. You know what I chose. peace, warren
