| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @analogj, I appreciate the question. To give you a short answer there isn’t anything or difference that you’re going to be able to hear because a good power cord and conditioner doesn’t add anything. All it does is take away RFI and EMI that will ... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @buddyboy1, to my understanding there is no difference structurally between the old Niagara 1200 and what is on the AudioQuest website now other than AudioQuest having raised its prices this year. https://www.audioquest.com/ac-power/ac-power-c... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @analogj, the PowerQuest2 to my understanding was not designed by Garth Powell. For me it acted as a really good surge protector with some adequate noise filtering that made it a much better choice for an audio or home entertainment system than yo... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @buddyboy1, oh god yes, I immediately noticed an improvement in sound quality when I got on board the Garth Powell from AudioQuest’s clean power train. Powell designs all of the power conditioners and higher end power cables at AudioQuest. I notic... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @buddyboy1, +1 on the AudioQuest PowerQuest 2. I used one for over a year before I got an AQ Niagara 1200 power conditioner, and I still have it. | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? @duramax747, I’m a huge fan of Sir Lewis Hamilton, who I consider the greatest Formula One race car driver of all time. Do you have a link to the work that you’re doing in racing or other endeavors? | |
| new headphones recommendation? grado gs3000e or… @cinnamonandgravy, for years I enjoyed my Grado RS1i headphones, and I still have them because they’re very musical and fun to listen to. Then two years ago when the pandemic started I got audio gear upgradeitis and bought a pair of Grado GS3000e ... | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap @incorporeus, as you well know, having clean power running through your mains is critical to getting the best sound out of any hifi system. To that end I use an AudioQuest Niagara 1200 power conditioner in conjunction with an AQ Thunder power cabl... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. @wc1, I really love the user interface of Roon. So going from a MacBook Pro to a Nucleus to run Tidal and Qobuz was a no brainer. I feel that I’ve really helped the sound quality by adding a 19v Sbooster linear power supply to the Nucleus, and usi... | |
| The problem with streaming I’ve found that with a dedicated music streaming system like mine, the sound quality exceeds that of any analog setup that I’ve used over the last 50yrs. As a result of slowly coming into the 21st century, I now have thousands of LP’s and CD’s lan... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) @loxo, I also use a Roon Nucleus with an aftermarket LPS(linear power supply), except mine is an Sbooster, which I’ve found to work quite nicely in my system. I’m often amazed at the number of folks who not only recommend to others music servers t... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) @naperaudio, if you value plug and play ease of use when listening to music, and you intend to use Roon, then I highly recommend that you look at getting a Roon Nucleus. I have one running off of a 19v Sbooster linear power supply that’s plugged i... | |
| Thinking of taking the plunge. Thank you @mwinkc for correcting me. | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject @ghdprentice, I definitely have to agree with your assessment sir. Having bought and used every high end music reproduction format in the last fifty years plus, streaming is absolutely the way to go now in 2022. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I’m a huge fan of @richtruss and Rob Osborne’s ENO Streaming System, which I incorporated into my listening chain this past fall. Both Rich and Rob were extremely helpful with answering all of my questions and concerns about their products and how... |
