Unclestu52, here my experience on plugging the amplifier into the Hydra...

67.80.188.20

Hello my friend: interesting what you comment about plugging more current draw into the Hydra so it works better. Now, regarding to plugging the amplifier into the Hydra, I respectfully disagree: the power amplifiers works better when plugged directly into the wall outlet (or equivalent), so bypassing any Power Line Conditioner, either the Hydra or any other p.l.c.; I have tried several times my McCormack DNA225 "Platinum Edition" into the Hydra and something is missing, specially clarity and "slam" and dynamic authority. When plugged directly into the outlet of the Richard Gray Power Company 240 Volts Sub Station it works much better, with more air and room to breathe. By the way, although the RGPC Sub Station is fed with 240 volts, it is actually a step down transformer and it has four Industrial 120 volts outlets. Best, Antonio Machado.
