Any one tried to used the Hydra 8 with power amp? or even the whole system? (CDP, Phono, Preamp and Power Amp). What is your opinion on the Hydra 8?

I am using the Hydra 8 over a year. It sound much extend and refine after use. Very good compare with my previous Isotek.

I bought hydra 8 3 times la.
It is very good at this price range.

The only problem is that it is use 20A power cord.

Shunyata Hydra 8 = 靚聲的基礎


(聽過的發燒友用上Hydra 8無一會衰聲﹐包括香港HiFi巨人亦系用Hydra 8)

How about Hydra 2?

呢位香港HiFi巨人就是用Hydra 2接駁power amp﹐而Hydra 8接駁其他器材(總之不駁power amp)。

I find that the new hydra 8's packing Box has a label that is marked CRYO.

Is that means 冷凍?

其 實 Hydra 8 接駁 Power Amp 有 無 問 題? 會 唔 會 有 壓 縮 的 感 覺?

Depend on the grade of the power cord for the Hydra 8.
For power amp, sure have quite background.
But may be lack of some powerful.

甘 hydra 8 係 唔 係 插 Power amp 都 有 filter ga ? Thanks

This is an interesting article on Hydra. Believe it is true. Some of the venome, fang, rattle snake things are probably hype. While I am a Hydra user, but think it is like many HiFi things; cost is one thing and mainly it is how much they spend on marketing and what price they dare to ask.

I plug the whole system to the Hydra 8. Seems OK.

我就十分喜愛hydra 8, 之前在二手舖用dac 64作平台,比較左hydra 8 同CSE RK-100. 只聽左唔夠2分鐘. 即被錢抬走hydra 8. 最近放走它, 但結果, 都係買番!
重發現新板(面板同Vray 一樣)多左冷凍!

uncleseven ,
想 問 多 少 少 Hydra 8 熟 於 什 麼 聲 低 ?Thanks

同RK-100比,就清通自然好多!

I have used Htdra 8 for 3 years, very excellent in performance. Absolutely better than than my previous PS Audio Power Plant, CSE Isoation Transformer TX2000 and Isotek Sigma.

Philipsfan32,

What do you like and don't like about PowerPlant except the pre-Premier versions are pretty limited in power?

BTW, aside from Shunyata's 20A plug power cable, what other cables work well with Hydra 8? Do you DIY your own 20A power cable?

BTW,

Should try their power amp as well if you can find one. Their power amps are some of the most musical you can find. Not cheap but is still reasonably priced.

pls do not use Hydra 8 for Power amplifier

but the website said ""non current limit""
