Just got AQ Niagara 1200 ...

Has anyone compared the AQ Niagara 1200 to the Shunyata PS8/Defender?  Similra price points.    

Check out Less-Loss C-Marc power cable.

I love my Torus Power RM20 Plus! Tons of power and headroom and extremely black background.

Now I have not tried the Torus but I must say that most modern conditioners that I have owned/tried did make the music cleaner and provided that black background that we all enjoy.

But the Niagara goes a step further, the dynamics of the system seem to be like its on steroids. There really is something to the way the seemingly limitless power is available instantaneously when needed. Its not just when there are loud peaks, but during all music passages. I call it the "Boogie Factor".

@nasaman Your experience going from Thunder to Tornado is very interesting, i would not have expected such a huge change just one level up. What power cables were you running from your power conditioner to the rest of the systems? Did you upgrade those as well to achieve the same result or was the tornado feeder cable the only one you changed?
