@ozzy From what I understood from Jays utube video was when the power correction switch was engaged that he heard the buzzing from his speakers. I originally also of using it for my Audio Research Ref 750 mono blocks but Audio Research responded to an email from me and they said they don’t recommend using a power conditioner for those amps. But for my ARC ref cd9 and Ref 6 se that would be fine. That question was for the 5000 not the 7000. Maybe it would be ok if the ref 750s went into the 7000.
Audio Quest Niagara 5000
I’m very interested in purchasing a AQ Niagara 5000. I’ve read and heard that there is a buzzing noise from the transformer. And on a utube video from Jays audio lab when he demoed the AQ 5000 and Shunyata Denali he said the hum from the AQ 5000 was also going through his speakers Does anyone own AQ 5000 and can tell me how bad the hum is ? Also this is a power conditioner / surge protector. But I’m really wanting it for the power conditioning. If there is a hum from the transformer and it’s supposed to take all bad dirty electricity from your line why would anyone want this power conditioner that the transformer hums and u can here it from up to 2 ft away.

Jay used to have a thread here and a few users and myself figured out he had some pretty big problems with his AC lines. He couldn't imagine that his electrician got it wrong and left A'gon got in quite a huff. I actually think Jay is probably a pretty good guy. But, like a lot of these YT "influencers," he thinks he's beyond reproach. They're just not a reliable source of information - consider that their whole premise is built on lossy audio. That makes no sense, but I guess they provide drama and "excitement" of the vicarious sort. |
@gpgr4blu Yes. I’ve also was told that from Audio Research and there was a utube video from Jays Audio lab and he also said that. |
