Amp ac cable connection

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.

I've been a firm believer in good power filtering since I moved into my Chicago apartment as a kid and couldn't listen to my rig due to the line noise or watch my projector due to the power fluctuations. My first piece of real gear was a power conditioner and it was a revelation. I recently have put my dream system together and spoken to the Benchmark, Pass and SVS and all of them say to not use a power conditioner because their internal filtering is so good. I listened and can't hear the slightest hiss or pop out of my 20.1 Maggies, Kinnergetic or SVS subs. I did want surge protection and have bought The Yalu Bulala from Blue Circle Audio which I put in the outlet of each circuit and it will sacrifice itself, take a lightening strike, and save your amps. Since it is in another socket on the outlet it is non current limiting as well. I also bought an FX2 X0E line conditioner for my smaller sources which are not current hungry. Blue Circle also makes a Sillycone Filter which draws the noise out of the circuit if it is plugged in near the amp (also non current limiting) if you have an extremely noisy environment. These products aren't going to win any industrial design awards but they work great and don't break the bank. Just my 2 cents. . . 

Good luck! 

Just to conclude my personal findings on this subject, i have my amp directly into the wall. The greater soundstaging and detail on most recrdings was too irresistable. Now i need to upgrademy wall socket. Does it ever end? I think not
