I'm putting my Hydra up for sale. Comes with the original power cord, spare fuses, solid copper slug fuse replacement and manual as shown in the pictures. This is a wonderful and beautiful power conditioner. No longer made due to the high cost of manufacture.From the Shunyata website: "ORIGINAL HYDRA
Retail Price: $2495
Dates of manufacture: 2000 -- 2002 Description: All Corian chassis. Polished granite side panels. In-laid South American Amaranth Wood and logo on front panel. Features:

The ultimate purists power conditioner. The original Hydra is still very popular on the used market. Its success cemented Shunyata Research's reputation as the top reference-quality power-distribution product company." Also please see the review link. It really does a great job but I need the money for other things at the moment so it has to go. There are some scratches on the top and bottom corian slabs. I suspect with the right polish/scratch remover they could be cleaned up though. Functionally it is perfect. I use the copper slug instead of the fuse as the fuse is only there due to UL regulations (or so I understand).
