The designer of audioquest niagra left furman then made the 3000,5000,7000 series .upscale audio interviewed him .watch that .I use furman and audioquest cuz i have big monoblock amps.they have capiticors in furman and the aq models 3000 and up furman 20 I has 80 amps of transient.aq call it a magic box but it's a capacitor. The aq differs in that he put some magic ground purifier in it.looks like a series of coils with more in the 7000 model.i do like the fact that shunyata cryo all thier stuff.that puts the atoms back in thier lattice structure and rids impurities so electrons flow better. I would plug the amps directly in wall but we have power issues 2 x a wk and I can't afford to fix several big amps.some of my emotiva xpr 1 are unobtanium.wish they still made them.this is my most important aspect I have had all the models trip and protect the equipment. Happy hunting,my no good gofers pinball machine states what's all those wires down there. I think those gofers were on to something.happy listening. I'm a believer in 7 gauge wire from pangea.im sure there is better but great price point.i do belive in the twist.not the dance.in power cords and speaker wire and nothing less than 10 gauge for speaker.audio is based on science and ohms law with power meters and dB meters of meters ect it's all stimulates the brain .good luck on your quest
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
And I realize that there are those that don’t believe in either
Assuming you use a power conditioner and after market power cords, do you feel that the power cord from the power conditioner to the wall might be a limiting or even a negating factor to the performance of the after market power cords that run from the power conditioner to the gear?
The reason I ask is that I was about to embark upon some more experimentation with different power cords and where I plugged them into when I discovered that the aftermarket cords I had purchased before and some recent arrivals are actually a meter shorter than the ones that came with the gear. This doesn’t matter for the amp due to its location, but when I did my last power cord upgrade I ran my CDP and pre into a conditioner so the length for those didn’t matter either, but as I was doing the musical chairs with power cords thing today, I also was intending to run the CDP and pre straight into the wall on separate dedicated circuits, but I found out that I am a tad short on those two.
Which doesn’t preclude me from moving my dedicated circuit outlets up a couple of feet, and I suppose I probably will, but I was curious as to the opinions about the limitations of a power conditioners power cord.
