Looking for the best power conditioner or regenerator or any product like it for under 2k.


As usual I can find a ton of things recommended without much comparison between them. I am currently looking at the equi=core line, deep=core, niagara 1200, nordost QB8, and the MC line from high fidelity cables. Completely open to any other recommendations. If anyone has had the chance to compare any of these, please let me know your findings.

I first bought the EquiCore 1800 and it performed very well lowering the noise-floor. I then added the DeepCore 1800 (on sale at Underwood) which added an even greater benefit at lowering noise, RFI/EMI, plus added surge protection. It was a dramatic improvement which made my system more revealing.

I also have 4 HF MC-0.5 power modules plugged into my 2 dedicated line receptacles. These provide remarkably improved soundstaging and imaging, smoother digital playback, and increased detail and realism

I have no experience with the Niagara but I know it’s highly regarded. One of the High Fidelity power conditioners should also be considered, they're priced over $2000 but are on sale periodically.

 

@lowrider57 Thank you for the reply. I have heard some others who love to use many of the MC power modules, even stacking  MC-1 pro double helix plus signatures on each other. Why did you decide to use multiple 0.5s instead of one of the more expensive ones?

@mgkaye ,

I got in at the beginning as soon as Rick introduced the new product line. I bought a pair of MC-0.5's on sale. He hadn't introduced the more advanced Helix yet. I added the DeepCore and system was sounding great. I eventually added two more MC-0.5s and a  CT-2 digital cable which was not cheap. So i didn't have any more funds.
