Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000

slaw,

I have 16 of the HF MC-05's in my system using 3 dedicated lines.
I also have the Core Tech CPT 1800 balanced power.

@ozzy ,

Right now I have a total of 6, three on each of my two dedicated lines. A 2nd generation Hydra on each.

I've been impressed with what I've read regarding the Core Tech, I'd have to change out too many power cords with the way I have my system set-up to integrate one. I felt the HFC MC-05s were the best option for me and after I heard what just two did, I was hooked.

Also saw the new Storm series cables are made in China, as printed on the box. Hmm...

@hamburger
Audioquest’s wire and cable braids have been made in China for many years now, since the cat-series interconnects. They are terminated (at least the upper lines), packaged and serviced in their USA headquarters. Not sure about their current high-end connectors (which are wonderful, across all types of cable speaker/power/IC), but when they used the Bocchino audio (RCA/XLR), those would have been made in Australia.

The 5000 and 7000 are definitely assembled in USA, and it appears to be quite a job.

Thanks! for posting hamburger
this confirms the rumors that AQ cabling is sourced to china.
Good to read that the 5000 and 7000 conditioners are made in U.S.A.
Happy Listening!
