power cord with Niagara 1200

Hello all-

I am tired of worrying about summer storms and am thinking of a Niagara 1200 for my system.  I have now Triode Wire Labs power cords running from components to the wall outlet.  (Big fan of TWL.)  What outlet should I purchase to run between the Niagara 1200 and the wall?  Audioquest?  Which one?  Or would it be better to stay with Triode Wire Labs for the whole system?

Thanks!

Margot

I've used the NRG-Y3, Monsoon, and Blizzard with my AQ 1200. The Blizzard has been my favorite so far. I moved from one to the other over the last year, mostly out of curiosity. None of them were disappointing. I think you'll be happy with whichever one that falls in your budget.

I kept my TWL PCs on my integrated and SACD player plugged into the Niagara 1200 and used an extra Cullen Cable 10GA PC I had lying around and it works fine. My system never sounded better.

All the best,

To be honest, no power conditioner will protect you from a lightning strike.
The AQ will probably do a better job than most,
but, yourbest bet is to install a whole house surge protector. They aren't very expensive to install, but provide peace of mind.
Of course, if you don't own your own home, then ignore the above.

I agree, even though I have 3 of the Audioquest Niagara power conditioners on my 3 dedicated lines I also have a whole house surge protector.

But, if I'm home and the lightning is close I still unplug.
