Amazing how the noise floor just disappears! I am using it with a Primaluna Dialog Premium amp feeding a pair of Magnepan 1.7i and a REL subwoofer. I also use an Audeze headphone connected to the Primaluna. Before using the Niagara I could hear a hum/buzz - it was too distracting on the headphones, and with the speakers it became distracting at higher volumes. Now with the Niagara and the monsoon power cord, complete black silence on both the speakers and the headphones.

Very nice piece of gear, well thought out and fits perfectly in the space I have. Have it standing on floor between audio racks.

There are many of these products on the market; but check out this deal. It has alot of the goodies of the unit costing thousands more. I only needed the two high energy outputs and thats the reason i opted for this rather than going on up the chain. I live in the country with a/c utility affected by everything in the world around me. I have brand new mains into my home, but the wire that runs through my old farm house is from the 60s. I thought this piece of equipment an invaluable asset to offset the aged power grid, and wire in my home. At this price point, I'd kick my own butt for not buying it. My system is new Prima Luna EVO 400 tube stuff, and I wanted to break it in and feed it the best a/c i could. This is the best grand and bang for the buck I could hope for. I am elated. Superb!!!

I am not good with descriptive audiophile words but I must say it tightens the sound. Everything sounds more crisp.

Flawless integration into my system. I was unaware that it came without a power cord. It is definitely more flexible to be able to purchase the length of power cord that you need, though it does add substantially to the total cost. Wish that it was described as not including a power cord.

I purchased an AQ 1200 to replace a Monster Cable HTS 3500 that I had for many years in my AV system but it finally failed as several outlets did not function. I initially tried an AQ 1000 last year and while the product was much better sounding than the MC, I was really disappointed in the general build quality and that even one of the outlets was poorly constructed and won't accept a plug. The AQ 1200 is superior in every way. MUCH better construction, one extra outlet and sounds exceptional. My AV system is much more transparent and three dimensional, has a larger soundstage and is more natural sounding. I took it a step further and installed an AQ Edison Outlet and was surprised and impressed with even more clarity and dynamics. The AQ 1200 and the Edison are highly recommended! Also Upscale was great to work with.

Impressed with the quality of construction. My audio gear appears to have a more openness to music. All background noise and hiss is gone. Thanks Audioquest!
