Was hesitant for many years that power conditioners and PC cords would make a difference (engineer in me) - speaker wire and interconnects certainly do - but AC power? Yep, of course depends on your system and many variables. Tried a couple other brands of conditioners and finally surprised myself when auditioning the Niagara 3000 on my $20K system. It works! And was amazed so does the Thunder cable to the wall - although the price points are high and at my limit. There is a point of diminishing returns and system balancing.

I wonder what would happen if you plugged in a PS Audio Power Regenerator to this.

I sold Audioquest for years. Where it makes sense is a tough call for me. I go back even longer with Furman. I am a bit practical and this kind expense is not where I am at. Though intriguing, not sure Audioquest is it for me. It has nothing to do who is repping it or not. It is the sensibility, and it is allot of money. You have to decide if it makes sense for you. For me? Not a reality. For you? That is up to you.

I’ve owned a share number of power conditioners over the last 20 years with little to no effect. Two months ago I installed the Niagara 7000 in my system, and immediately heard a significant change. A friend was over when I installed it and he said it’s almost like the system was broken before. After 3 friends heard it in a system that they were familiar with they either bought one or are planning to order it. BTW my system is a high end system from manufactures that pay special attention to their power supplies. This is NOT snake oil but a real breakthrough in conditioning.

I have had a number of PS Audio regenerators over the years culminating in a P-20. Since I had several reliability issues with the P20, I sold it and bought a Niagara 7000. I was simply astounded at the SQ improvement and zero issues in 2 years of ownership. My core system: Vandersteen Model 7 MkII speakers driven by M7-HPA amps, all Audioquest cables. Everything plugged into the 7000. Totally agree with Thomas Casell that this is anything but snake oil. I don't really understand the negativity towards Audioquest and Garth Powell.

Unfortunately not true I just traded in my niagara 7000 after having it for 1 years and half. My sub was humming 24/7 even though my system was off. Btw 80% of my cables AQ. Bestbuy and I tried everything from isolator to taking off all cables 1 by 1. At the end they told me leave it alone. Just swapped it with galileo synergistic sx powercell and everything works better and no humming. Can you explain that? And 80 pounds in compare with 20 pounds. Very disappointed

I have a McIntosh gear. All cables from AudioQuest. 1. I think AudioQuest is a very selling company. great exterior design. Don't sure what's inside their products. 2. Lately added the McIntosh MPC500 - indeed huge better audio results and Power protection. 3. Wish I could replace my AudioQuest Cables but it's too financial situation now for me. 4. Mr. Garth Powell to me is a very talented and I really appreciate his work, I'm sure he believe what's his doing , maybe I don't have positive cytological approach to AudioQuest's products. To mr. Garth Powell I do !

I don't know boys. Come over to the house and demo it on my $50k system before speakers or cables. Not clear what I am expecting to hear? If I like it, I will buy two for my mono amps! =)

If I wanted a power conditioner, filter, etc. I'd get a Furman or anything else over an Audioquest product. I'm kind of surprised Upscale Audio carries such things as I think it is the antithesis of what Kevin always says about his company.
