A 3000 and 5000 is night and day better much more intensive grounding ,and more octaves of filtering , I have the 3000 had the 1200 the 3000 have power factor correction for your amp,integrated amp on 1st two and a switch for it which should be on . , the 5000 better still ,at minimum a blizzard power cord Thunder I would say best match for 3000, 5000. For sure though a bit bright for the first 4-5 days the Isotek run in cd is great and track 3 a 5 minute system tune up .
AudioQuest Niagara 1200 vs 3000 vs 5000 for Sources Only
If I am only using a conditioner to connect a media streamer and a turntable, will the higher end AudioQuest conditioners perform better than the 1200?
I currently have my sources connected to the 1200, and yes, I hear a definite improvement compared to connecting the sources to the wall. Wondering however if the 3000 or 5000 will be even better, or do those models only help when connecting higher current power amps?
