Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200


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

@10024skip, I use an AudioQuest Thunder power cable with my AQ Niagara 1200 power conditioner, and they work exceptionally well together for my dedicated headphone system. At the time I purchased them they were about the same price from my audio gear dealer. Having been bitten by the clean power bug, I also demoed an AQ Hurricane, and just for kicks an AQ Dragon power cable in my home. I really didn’t notice any difference in SQ when using the Hurricane or the Dragon, even though my mind absolutely wanted to. In my opinion the higher cost AQ Storm cables would have more benefit if one was using an AQ Niagara 3000 or 5000 to power their hi-fi system.

I would not spend dragon money for the 1200. If you’re spending that kind of money, you’d be better off to upgrade to the 3000
as indicated by others the thunder or one of the other less expensive Audio quest products would make a lot of sense for you

Any power cable you put in your system 

will sound different and will not have a jaw dropping effect no matter which one you pick 

I like the Synergistic Research SR30 for around $400 bucks

Good luck Willy -T
