The FULL REVIEW: Inakustik’s AC-3500p power station and LS-4004 Speaker Cables


The Inakustik AC-3500P power station and LS-4004 Air speaker cables could be the Valedictorians of Power conditioners and Loudspeaker Cables!  Howard Milstein disseminates them and takes a serious look as to why!

Being a reviewer and commentator within this illustrious, though maybe sometimes, laborious hobby, I’m fortunate enough to be able to listen to some of the most demanding and exquisite audio components produced by some of the finest designers in the “high-end” community. Unfortunately, sometimes this can take its toll on the amount of time I spend listening to music.!

On the other hand, when new products are presented for me to evaluate and listen to, one usually finds that the time and effort spent was well worth the awards and satisfaction we may have gained in the process.

A few months ago, The Inakustik AC-3500P power station and LS-4004 Air Reference speaker cables were given a short preview in the Sound Advocate after having been immensely impressed from their initial auditioning within only a few weeks of introducing them into my system for testing.

As promised then, here is a full review of these 2 consummate audiophile products. I will outline some of their technical aspects while interpolating the various audible listening impressions I have perceived in the few months I’ve had the AC-3500P power station and LS-4004 Air loudspeaker cables installed in my system. If you would like to read more specifics about Inakustik’s background and products, please see the above link of my preview or at the Inakustik website.

You should post pictures of the insides of the unit.
There is one very small circuit board inside a big heavy empty metal box.

milpai,

Yes thanks.
It just seems to me that the unit could have been made with a IEC and a single duplex outlet. That way, it could be placed before a power strip / other conditioner etc. and would be much smaller, lighter and hopefully much cheaper.

tablejockey,
Actually it sells for $3500.

twoleftears,
Pitiful, then compare that to the inside of a Audioquest Niagara 7000

Milpai,

I would like to try it.
That is why I think that with the relative few parts involved it could have been made much smaller/cheaper by omitting the huge chassis.

Says a guy who has purchased many SR fuses for big $$$. LOL!

milpai,

Thanks, I will try to get a unit to compare to my present conditioner.

I wanted to do a head to head trial with my Audioquest Niagara 7000. Keeping the best unit.
Unfortunately, my attempts to get a trial unit has been unsuccessful. 

"You must first buy to try." I guess I understand, it is a risk for a retailer to send a unit. Although, I have done quite a bit of business with Worldwide (the USA distributor).

The Audioquest Niagara 7000 really is impressive with my mono blocks.
