Just got AQ Niagara 1200 ...


and WOW ... what an incredible difference this has made in sound quality! ... I am becoming a convert of power conditioning :)

Now I wonder if the following "upgrades" would make any further improvements:

- Power cord. Currently AQ NRG-Z3 to say AQ Thunder
- Power regenerator like PS Audio Powerplant as a Niagara replacement?

Appreciate advise.

@fuzzypoodle,
Yes, moving up the AQ line offers amazing benefits.
I own the Thunder and can attest to its' positive abilities. If I had the funds, I would get the Hurricane. But, for the money, the Thunders will smoke just about anything out there.
As far as power regenerators/conditioners go, PS and AQ use different ways to supply power.
Here is a link I found a few days ago:

Both seem to perform admirably, though the AQ seems to give the PS a run for the money- especially as it is almost half the price. Also note how power cords affect the performance.
