next contender

i have heard many success stories with shunyata hydra products, yet i can't lay my hands on one because the local dealer is not very keen on loaners.

its latest hydra called the v-ray, again piques my interest not the least because it is a passive device. my love for passive conditioning devices stems from the fact that my system has a lot of brilliance in the highs and upper-mids, using active in-series devices would very likely mask out/dull this brilliance.

at more than twice the price of the richard gray 600s, v-ray should even be better than the richard gray.

if you know anyone who owns one and is willing to loan for a couple of days, do let me know. if the owner doesn't like me blogging about it, it is ok.
