Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000


Anyone have any experience with either of these two Products?  I find them intriguing and might consider buying one.

Joesek: On the fence on buying a Nigeria 5000. 
4000.00 is a lot of money for " slight " improvement in sonic clarity! My question is if the 5000 were removed from your system equation, would you perceive a major reduction in performance! Whole lot cheaper to boost db levels in a processor for slight change! Your thoughts please!
The honest answer is ........no. I would not perceive a major difference.  Subtle.
It's pretty easy to determine.  

Listen to your system over a few weeks at 2AM or another time when electricity usage is low vs other times of high usage like 8PM on a weeknight.  If there's a significant difference and you'd like your system to sound more like the low usage times all the time you get a quality power conditioner.  

I live in a city; the difference was pretty dramatic.
I simply changed from using an Audioquest Niagara 1000 and Torus RM15 to the Torus RM20. Not a night and day difference,  but significant. I don't know why, but I'm happy with the results.
