How does the new Hydra Alpha compare to the Denali?  With the Alpha having more outlets (which would be useful to me) I am a little confused by the range.

I don’t know is the honest answer since I haven’t received an Alpha A10 yet!

Obviously the form factors are very different - the Denali 6000/T has its own massive stainless steel isolation platform which means it can go on the ground next to the rack, which can be pretty handy for those with less rack space or perhaps those that have their Devialet wall mounted.

The main difference on paper at least (apart from the number of sockets and zones) is that the Denali has patented QR/BB tech - this is the technology that effectively stores energy without use of capacitors/coils/transformers. Details of the patent are here. QR/BB will remain in our “Reference” range whereas the Alpha is part of our “Performance” line. 

So in terms of UK range there are now three products: UK6, Alpha A10 and Denali 6000/T. 

Cheers,
