Shunyata Hydra V-Ray power conditioner
This hefty 40-lb. line conditioner excelled at lowering the noise level in a number of systems, but was especially effective with SET amps and other types of valve-based designs. Noted for its ability to make systems sound more three-dimensional, we felt that removing the V-Ray from the chain was the sonic equal of replacing a new set of tubes with old, worn-out ones.
