Oyaide palladium/palladium combo is too much of a good thing...

A palladium Oyaide P-049 AC plug mated with a palladium Oyaide SWO-XXX AC outlet resulted in a presentation that was "too cool and austere" (ruthlessly over-the-top) to my ear. Too much of a good thing, in this case. Use of a gold Oyaide P-079 AC plug is way better mated with the palladium Oyaide SWO-XXX AC outlet; sweeter, fuller and more musical with an open soundstage. A great synergy match.

Ask Chris if the rhodium Furutech might be contributing to the issue or not, since I could be wrong about my opinion of how rhodium may affect your digital device as fed by the PLC's rhodium power cord. I'm sure Chris can re-terminate the rhodium AirSine instead of you having to sell it.

At this point (after reading your reply); here's what I think you should do before anything:

Upgrade your two Hubbell outlets with an Oyaide SWO-XXX and an Oyaide SWO-GX outlet.

If you plug the Hydra 8's rhodium AirSine into the gold Oyaide SWO-GX outlet, it will likely do a world of good and enable you to keep the rhodium AirSine placed on the Hydra 8.

Your amp will love a palladium Oyaide SWO-XXX AC outlet / gold Oyaide 079 AC connector AirSine combo.

Place the gold Wattgate AirSine on your CDP as mentioned.

Cheers
