Equi=Core 1000


I just bought an Equi=Core 1000 which will be here this Friday. I am currently using an Audioquest Niagara 1200 which I like but don’t truly love. So, I started looking for a new conditioner and found the Equi=Core on the Audiogon website. I read many articles about the 1000 and the 1800 and everyone of them stated how great both conditioners are especially with the new transformer. Many compared the 1000 and 1800 to conditioners costing $3k-$4k. Also, I chatted with Walter a few times before purchasing and he took the time to answer all my many questions. So my question is (even though it’s too late), does anyone use the Equi=Core, and if so, how do you like it?

 

thanks

Please get back to us and let us know your thoughts regarding the Equi=Core vs your Niagara 1200.

I have an Equi=Core 1000. I got it because I'd gotten a tube headphone amp that had an unlistenably-bad noise floor through my previous power strip. I got the Equi=Core as that's what the amp-maker said he uses. It improved the noise floor ever so slightly but it was still unlistenable so I returned the amp (this is due more to the electrical source in my apartment than the amp). Still using the Equi=Core with various components plugged into it, but I don't know whether it makes any difference or not. 

Hmmm, the name EQUI=CORE looks and sounds very similar to a company that's been doing balanced AC power for a little over 20 years now; EQUI=TECH.

If you're interested in balanced AC power, here's another company that manufacturers balanced AC transformers:
