PowerBlack Hydra or Block

I'd take the Hydra every time. Works really well with Naim equipment and minimises audiophile neurosis over what order to plug everything in...

Have a block - great piece of kit. 

Just to add - a Grahams Hydra, not the Powerblack version. The 4 way plug isn't the best on the CHC made hydra and the Hydra is far better value. 

Sean made me a 4-headed Powerblack Hydra a few weeks ago. And a 12 socket Powerblack block. It 's the best money I've spent. And I've spent a lot! Added more body and weight to the sound; bigger soundstage; but still all under focused control. Dealt a blow to some of the brightness issues I'd been plagued with. Very well built and finished; each cable even has an RFI choke as belt and braces. All true star earthed.  

Thanks guys.  I'm going to add one to my list of upgrades 

Incidentally, I have a balanced mains transformer at the moment, but I think the impedance is constraining the dynamics 

I would tend to believe that the hydra, and Graham's for that matter, was a great solution until the Power-Line came out. What the latter brings is beyond all the hydra alternatives except maybe for the Powerigel Plus. 

Chag -
