Hello Coto37. I have a Powerquest 2 that I use for TV, router, etc. I bought it mainly for the quality of its surge protection but it adds value by having a dedicated connection for TV which provides excellent filtering for 4K picture quality. I have a Niagara 1200 for my hi-fi system. The noise floor is amazingly quiet and added a superior sound quality. As others have described it, music against a black background. The Niagara 1200 achieves its maximum performance when using Audioquest AC power cables. It's an engineered system concept, and it definitely works. I also use the Audioquest NRG Edison Duplex all outlet. If you are going to bring AC to your power conditioner than you should begin with proper connection. Those $2.99 wall outlets that all houses have are worthless for delivering high current draws. That said, be aware, when purchasing the Niagara 1200 it comes without a power cable. They do this so you can buy a power cable that fits your need in length as well as budget. I use their model, Monsoon, for connecting the 1200 to the wall outlet (the NRG Edison Duplex). I use Monsoon for my phono stage and theater processor, and I use Tornado High Current and Tornado Source for my power amp and preamp. The 1200 also provides 2 dedicated high-current plug connections for power amps. I connect my main power amp and my powered subwoofer to those outlets. Again, the noise floor is zero and the music to black background is superb. I can't recommend it enough. Hope this helps you in your decision making process.
Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other?
Hello,
I know a lot of you do not like or believe in power conditioners. But I want to protect my system and improve sound and video quality.
I am trying to decide between the ISOTEK evo3 Aquarious and the Audioquest Niagara 1200 for my main system. I have read good reviews about them both, asked a couple of shops and one recomended the Niagara and the other the Isotek. Both gave the same reason: "it souds better".
First system: Power amp, preamp/dac, tv, computer, computer motitor, ruter, nas. (Probably will plug the last 4 on a different power strip)
For my second system, I am thinking about the Audioquest Powerquest 3, but I can not find any reviews. So, can any one tell me about their experience with it? I am open to other sugestions also.
Second system: Power amp, preamp, network player/dac, tv, computer and network switch. (These will all be plugged in to the Powerquest for example). I also like the powerquest3 because of the on off switch. I do not use this system as much so I like to cut the power off completly.
If you need specifics on my systems, I will give no problem.
Right now I am using 2 Salicru safe7 surge protectors, they are cheapos and probably not the best in protection or for my system.
Thanks.
