When it comes to amps, I plug into the wall directly. But, I do have a whole house surge protector.
The AQ Niagra 1200 does offer high output plugs for amps, and since it was designed with Garth Powell, I would expect it to perform well.
I use the 1200 for my front end, and love it.
PM Johnny Rutan (audioconnection), he sells Vandy, Belles and AQ, and can give you the best info., and not try to sell you something.
