Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000

@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...

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!

1000 is definitely "assembled in Taiwan".
