I am the original owner of this beautiful Shunyata Hydra 8 power conditioner. I'm moving and have to sell off my downstairs stereo. This power conditioner has been widely reviewed and praised, and rarely comes up on the pre-owned market.
Marc Mickelson a reviewer for Soundstage noted that "...It's easy to become cynical about high-end-audio equipment, what with the often small improvements that are wrought for escalating prices. But Shunyata Research has seemingly done the impossible with the Hydra Model-8: improved upon a very good existing design in terms of its functionality and performance, and lowered its price as well. The Hydra Model-8 can now be used in a wider array of systems, and its heart as a true high-end product has been enhanced. I especially like the clarity the Model-8 bring to the music -- a holdover from the original Hydra -- but the new unit offers an enhanced sense of ease and tonal naturalness as well. As I noted, if you want to wring every last iota of performance out of the Model-8 you'll need to add one of the upscale and pricey Shunyata Research power cords, but don't feel that you need to do this or you'll suffer. The Model-8 weaves its sonic spell no matter which power cord you use to feed it."
The Shunyata Hydra 8 was awarded Soundstage's "Reviewer's Choice Award."The Hydra 8 does not come with a power cord. Shunyata recommends the use of one their 20amp power cords.
I accept PayPal but the buyer is responsible for paying their fees. I also accept USPS money orders. I will only ship within the US.
FWIW I have great feedback on Ebay as Gelajoy (600+ rating at 100%.)
