Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?

When power conditioner threads come up someone usually makes a statement that one of the functions of a well thought out transformer is to eliminate or at least significantly lessen the impact of noisy power on sound quality.

Then inevitably no one continues discussing this concept further.  Can someone expand on whether the elimination of noisy power’s impact on sound is, in fact, one of the functions of a good transformer.

We have tested many of the leading power conditioners regenerators are not the panacea they do truncate dynamics

we have found  isoteks and audio magic products  conditioners really improve a systems performance without limiting dynamics

The PS Audio Regenerator 12 has a dial on its home screen that shows improvement on a scale from 1x to 100x. Typically they show around 10+x. Has anyone hooked up a PS Audio  12 to a PS Audio 12? I'd expect to see the improvement of 10x on the first unit & 1x on  the second. If the second shows 10x that would lead me to believe that the meter could be just pasted onto the unit.

As quiet as your system may seem without using a proper Power Conditioner, believe me, it can get even quieter.  Over the years, I've tried  several conditioners, and the one that ended up being a keeper for me was the Audioquest Niagara 3000.  The Audioquest Niagara 3000 is a non-power restricting device that has two special "High Current" plugs on board, which are designed especially for amplifiers.  I have everything plugged into my Niagara 3000, including my amplifier, with excellent results.  If the Niagara 3000 is beyond your budget, just go for the the Niagara 1200, which is just a downsized version of the Niagara 3000.  I'm pretty sure that my Niagara 3000 will be my last Power Conditioner.  Happy listening.     

I use a Niagara 5000 and 7000 in a couple of my rigs.

If you don’t feel like spending all that much, get the powerquest 707.

In addition to the filters and protection, these units maintain/supply a current reservoir on the high current outlets for your power amps. It is like an adrenalin shot for any poweramp and can make your amps slam like crazy on demanding tracks at high spls. After you get used to it, you won’t be going back.

P.S. Only the Niagara 3000, 5000, 7000 and the Powerquest 707 offer the above mentioned. Other AQ models don’t.
