@stevebohnii - thanks for your additional comments. Interesting that you're getting more detail with the Equi=Core. Seems like it is doing a better job than the Audioquest at lowering the noise floor. 6 oulets is all I need so would probably opt for the E=C 1000 if I go that direction instead of AQ.
Equi=Core 1000
I just bought an Equi=Core 1000 which will be here this Friday. I am currently using an Audioquest Niagara 1200 which I like but don’t truly love. So, I started looking for a new conditioner and found the Equi=Core on the Audiogon website. I read many articles about the 1000 and the 1800 and everyone of them stated how great both conditioners are especially with the new transformer. Many compared the 1000 and 1800 to conditioners costing $3k-$4k. Also, I chatted with Walter a few times before purchasing and he took the time to answer all my many questions. So my question is (even though it’s too late), does anyone use the Equi=Core, and if so, how do you like it?
thanks

@marco1 - yes, you might want to go with the 1000 if you only need six outlets. Just remember the wattage and take it into consideration when buying. If you are leaning towards the Niagara 1200, I can give you a good price on the one I have. |
@marco1 - I sent you a pm |
My 1800 is an earlier model, it's not from Core Power but from Walter's introduction of the unit. Your model has some improvements. In any event, my 1800 certainly made my system more revealing. The highs didn't have increased extension, there was more clarity. It showed me how much grunge is on my mains. Realise that you're in a break-in period. Adding the Deep=Core resulted in a blacker background, I believe YMMV in this area. The result was mainly in the low-end. The bass was more detailed resulting in more separation of bass guitar, double bass, etc. There was more space between the bass and drums. I'm using the Gold PC (paid $99) between the EquiCore and DeepCore. It's a very good cable. I tried it one night on my amp, the result was more transparency than my current PC. The best place for it in my system is on the power conditioners. |
