Amp ac cable connection

benjie,

I think knownothing said it best. Hopefully you will understand that one.

I will add that of reviewer friend of mine asked some of the proprietors of top equipment companies at RMAF (that did not offer power enhancement products in their line) why they did not use power enhancement products in their show systems and they told him that they felt that it was more truthful to show their equipment sans power enhancement gear so as to not mislead potential buyers regarding the sound quality of their gear. All polled agreed that the best power enhancement products would further improve the sound of their equipment had they used them.

The last year I attended RMAF (2012), the Synergistic Research room won the "Best Sound" award from The Absolute Sound and the "Best of Show" award from Marc Michelson plus a very favorable mention from Stereophile.

I agree with ebm that the Audience unit he has(so do I) isn't limiting anything on my Agostino amp. Just sounds fantastic. I'll leave the science to others. 

benjie.....   I've never had any luck with conditioners either.  They all change the sound but include warts I can't live with

I find with the recent addition of 2 Audioquest Niagara 1000's for my audio system with excellent results.  I am using Audioquest power cords as well.  In fact I am using my second one for a pair of Martin/Logan SL-3 electrostatic speakers.  Using An Audioquest NRG 100 from the wall to the conditioner and a pair of NRG 10's from the Niagara 1000 to the speakers.  Previously I was using an inferior power conditioner and ordinary power cords to the speakers.  The changes were simply incredible.  Anyone with a speaker such as my Martin/Logan's, which themself need to be plugged into current to power the subwoofer portion of their speaker will need a combination such as I have to achieve the full potential of their speaker system.  But, again the addition of some of the very latest power conditioners, such as the latest offerings from Audioquest really work.  On most audio products, as well-unlike many of todays competing products that will work for some products but not for others.  Anyway the Niagara only runs $1000, plus it has spike protection s well.  That is all I can say on the matter, except they really work.

So now we have four (Tara Labs, Synergistic Research, Audience, and Audioguest Niagara) that have been recommended as non-current-limiting options.
