  I don't have one now, but listened to it somewhat recently. It's dated, to be sure, but was never offensive. In the systems I have used it with, it added a warmth that was pleasant, but ultimately a coloration. Not the greatest in resolution either, but I prefer it to the Audioquest conditioners, for example. However, at least with non-amplifying equipment, it is not in the same league as any of the top quality regenerators.
  
  In short, not bad for a budget office system, but I wouldn't use it for a real high end system.

  I have an original Hydra in my all-digital home-office system, and a purchased-used Hydra 8 v.2 "fuels" the living-room audio-video-TT system. My streamer-server-sourced "reference" bedroom audio system is fed by a Shunyata Delta D6.
  
  The original Hydra performs well, but is outclassed by both the Hydra 8 v.2 and, significantly so, the Delta D6.

  I have had it for years. When I first got it, I did some listening with and without. I thought I could hear subtle improvements with. Now days, I just have everything but the amp plugged into the Hydra.

  Bought the original Hydra with the wooden faceplate when it first came out. Sold it after a couple of years and bought the newer Hydra with the aluminum faceplate. It has worked perfectly.

    Thank You -denden11
    Did you notice an upgrade in sound quality by moving up to the Alum faceplate (newer edition)?

      The wooden faceplate was a piece of art...absolutely beautiful. I thought the newer model sounded significantly better---cleaner---more detailed without sounding bright.
