Should I update my manufactures power cords?
I am using a AQ Thunder 2m (20A) power cord from wall to Niagara 5000.
Do I upgrade equipment using manufactures power cords plugged into Niagara 5000? Streamer (HIFI ROSE), McIntosh MC611 mono-amps (2 plugs), McIntosh ref. preamp 12000st +12000C (one plug to preamp), McIntosh MEN220 room equalizer (1 plug).
Please advise which AQ PC's to use and where or manufacture PC will work.

@farne230 - Take a look at Audio Envy - they are a great place to start. For better performance on amps take a look at Zavfino - a little more pricey but worth it for amps like yours If you want to get some knowledge about cable science, take a read of this thread

I have a pair of 611s and a C2700. I found the most significant gains in my system were from the PC and interconnects connected to my DAC. I am powering my DAC with AQ Dragon and the monoblocks with AQ Hurricane. The C2700 is being fed by an Audience Front Row PC. The Thunder is a good cord, and the Hurricane is probably the sweet spot in their lineup. |
Those amps will benefit from upgraded power cords Also try the amps plugged directly into wall and not into power conditioner. I had AQ Thunder and upgraded to the Hurricane. The improvement was not subtle. However, in the end, I sold the Hurricane cords. They made my system sound a bit too syrupy and dark. Home audition is a must. |
