AudioQuest - Niagara 1200 Bundle - Power Conditioner with NRG-Y3 7FT Power Cord Included

Moved to a new to me house so still getting used to the room and have done only a little experimentation with speaker placement. My venerable APC S15 died in the move, APC tech support was great but they could not revive the 17 year old machine. So chose the Niagra 1200 which the book says will improve slowly over the first 2 weeks. At day 10, yes the Audioquest is better than the Dollarama power strip I used to give life sustaining music once I had system in place. Is the Niagra 1200 better than the S15, I will never know for sure. Based on what I hear the Niagra has improved with age and works, good dynamics and clear high end without being fatiguing. The blue pilot light is way too bright, seems like space lasers, pew pew pew.

We live in a house built in 1935. While we have grounded our outlets, the wiring is still quite dated. Unit seems to do its job. No flashing lights, bells or whistles. is a solidly built unit. No heat problems. No noise.

Good protection and to my ears cleans up the sound. Jay I recommended it on YouTube.

Very pleased.

I had big noise sounding issues with my Yamaha hs8 monitors and has8s sub. When not playing music the noise would emanate through the speakers and when playing music you could hear it . Not so much the sub but I connected all three and my RME dac into this unit and it complety eliminated all sounding noise coming from my speakers. I couldn’t believe it. I had been looking for a resolution for years and this was it. I disconnected everything again and back into the wall and the loud noise issues came back immediately. Connected everything back to the Niagara and zip nothing. It’s outstanding . Aside from that the sound became more powerful to put it simply . I can turn up the volume on my dac to full volume when silent and the noise does not move. You have to put your ear next to the tweeter or dome to hear the slightest hiss. Move back and there’s nothing. Thoroughly impressed and it’s staying with me. I have read tons of snake oil about this and on you tube and they are lies with flawed tests and reviews. If you have noise issues then buy it. The worst that can happen is you return it. When I first plugged it in, it took about 5 -10 minutes to completely drain all noise. That was a really weird phenomena if you would which they call a break in and that it needs to do that. It hasn’t come back since it’s first plug in.
