Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics?

Yep. Glad to see people finally asking this question.

Nothing to do witht the abiltiy of the filter to "clean up" power.  It limits rapid current changes which limits the amp.  

Anybody who has one should plug their amp directly into the wall for an immediate, enjoyable experience.

@audiotroy You answered a different question than the one I asked. I asked about how a consumer could measure the existing noise on their home line and you posted that you had tested many conditioners and have dedicated lines.

You cited me in your post and then posted something tangential -- which also helps you sell power conditioners. My question asks how one can test if they need to buy anything at all.

To put it another way, your post adds "noise" to this conversation.

My Niagara 1200 resulted in a noticeable improvement in noise floor reduction and increase in inner detail while not limiting dynamics at all, replacing earlier generation PS Audio gear. Big thumbs up.

@hilde45 my PS Audio P10 would show me the oscilloscope on its screen to show how much distortion was on the line. I had a low noise, but it still made my system sound cleaner. I moved to a Shunyata Denali and it's even better, but I did lose the oscilloscope which was always fun to check out what harm fans, air conditioners and vacuuming did to the line. 

The 1200 is OK, but as above, the Puritan PSM156 is much better, its certainly better than the Niagara 3000
