Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000

Anyone have any experience with either of these two Products? I find them intriguing and might consider buying one.

And the capacitor burn-in machine in a different part of the building. There’s a lot of stuff that goes into those boxes! If any of those are assembled in Taiwan, it would have to be the 1000.

They are terminated (at least the upper lines), packaged and serviced in their USA headquarters. Not sure about their current high-end connectors (which are wonderful, across all types of cable speaker/power/IC), but when they used the Bocchino audio (RCA/XLR), those would have been made in Australia. The 5000 and 7000 are definitely assembled in USA, and it appears to be quite a job.
