Shunyata or Synergistic for power conditioning?

@hamburger 
Congrats on the new power conditioner!

The Niagara 7000 does have more parts than the Isotek.

The hum is a negative, as you're adding to the noise floor. So is stripping the plugs, as they could now oxidize.

If you're happy with the sound, that's what counts.

@hamburger I'm sorry if I missed it earlier in this thread, but could you list the components you are plugging directly into your AQ Niagra 7000 and whether or not you still have any components directly plugged into the wall (besides the power conditioner)?
Thanks

Hi astewart,
Every item in my audio chain is plugged into the Niagara.  Nothing is directly from the wall.  TT, phono-amp, CDP, integrated-amp and a subwoofer (5 items).

Hi jay23,
"If you're happy with the sound, that's what counts."... Precisely! ;-)

Has anybody checked out the new PS audio p20? I’m just not sure the passive devices Ike the Demali do much for the quality of the power rather than just filtering it. 

A fellow Niagra 7000 owner here - I liked the improvement to sound that it made but loved it once I used the new AQ Thunder and now Hurricane cables - they should really sell these as a bundle offer as it unleashes the Niagra IMO.

3-d depth, breadth of sound stage and attack were obvious initial improvements. I am now hearing finer detailing, and micro transients which make the music live.

Have all my items plugged in  - SME 20/3, MBL 1621 Transport and Devialet 800 Dual Mono Amps. Did try the amps initially straight from the wall but preferred the sound when they were attached to the high current outputs of the Niagra - far more vibrancy and dynamism to the sound. I guess the Devialet likes having the 70 amp reserve the  Niagra holds for demanding passages of music as a hybrid AD amp?
