Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200


Like to upgrade stock power cable. Any suggestions and will it make a difference?

Are you really suggesting a $5000 power cable for a $2000 Power Conditioner? Unless the costs I see online for these two items are wrong, does this really make sense?  Just seems to be backwards in terms of where to invest.   IMHO. 

 

The way to look at power cord, is that it provides power conditioning, so, it will improve the sound significantly. 

@bigtwin For someone with a Niagara 1200 yes it would be ridiculous, IMO, and obviously beyond the budget. My comment was tongue-in-cheek, but in line with your first post- there are plenty of power cord threads to read. 

To answer the second question, will it make a difference with a dragon? I think absolutely. Will it make a difference if he gets a $100 power cord? Maybe not. 

 

@mclinnguy  For me, this just seems to be putting the cart before the horse.  Since the idea of the Power Conditioner is to "Condition" the electricity feeding your components, and in some cases radically converting the electrical  supply as is the case with something like a regeneration unit, it would seem to me that any decent heavy AWG cable, that is transferring current from a wall outlet, may 3 - 6 feet to your power conditioner, would be more than adequate.  I could see the use of the really good cable on the other side of the conditioner but not before it.  IMHO

I would rather an AQ Niagara 5000 with an AQ Thunder than a 1200 with a Dragon, though certainly the Dragon is a super cord...
