The Niagara 5000 has transient power correction which gives 90A of current reserve on the high current outlet, this is something Audioquest 1000/1200 does not have, and will make a huge difference to amps.
Gryphon Amp Owners: Results with AQ Niagara?
As many know, amp vendors including Gryphon urge power cords to be plugged directly into the wall. I also read a review of an account where a Gryphon Diablo 300 was underwhelming at a show, until they removed the power conditioner and connected the amp to the wall.
I’m not looking to debate whether that logic is correct or not, but rather, to see if any Gryphon owners have had good real world results when powering their amp(s) from an AQ Niagara 5000 or similar.
Another option is to have the Niagara power my source only and keep my Diablo 300 powered directly from the wall. However, my worry is that the Niagara is not a passive device, and might consume additional current from the AC circuit that won’t be available for my amp, since I am doomed to having everything on a single AC circuit (don’t ask, not easy to change to dedicated lines in my house).
Thoughts?
