Is there something going on in those tubes or are they just some kind of shield? What's the purpose of the pc boards behind the outlets?

Those are the Notice Isolation Chambers

I think it's Noise Isolation Chamber

Steve,

As far as I have read the big cylinders are the Noise Isolation Chambers. The PCBs are probably the multiphase differential array (MPDA) parallel microfilters.

What does NIC actually mean? Is it keeping noise in or out? What kind of noise are we talking about here?

Thanks Steve. I read your comments earlier and that's why it peaked my curiosity. The linked review doesn't really say anything of value and from what I see in the above picture he got some of his technical descriptions wrong too. The only thing I can take away from that article is that the Hydra is just a passive filter and that there's some kind of compound in those tubes. But it doesn't say wether the conductors are passing through this material or is placed inline somewhere. Maybe Shunyata people can chime in on this.

Yes, some questions were answered regarding the NIC but they were specific to the Triton and Typhoon, this is a Hydra, are they more or less the same thing?
