My brother has this conditioner and is very happy with it. Not crazy money with very good performance, that’s great!
 
Lots of great reviews... I think this months The Absolute Sound has an excellent review. Mine does everything I could want out of a power conditioner!
 
I just purchased a Niagara 1000 off Kingsrule recently (thanks!). Had a Thunder power cord coming in as well to complement this and plugged the cord between the wall outlet and the Niagara 1000. This is replacing a PI Audio Uber Buss with an older custom power cable to the wall.

"What the hell is this I'm hearing???" was the first thing that I thought. This was madness! I listened for about a couple of hours on some very familiar tracks.

I switched back to the PI Audio Uber Buss. "Whoa..." The loss in presence, details, specificity in instrument and sound placement was noticeable. I didn't expect this kind of change to come from a power cable and power conditioner change, as opposed to completely swapping out an amp, preamp, or even speakers. The audible differences are not subtle. They are a different character, flavor, whatever you want to describe it. It felt like I switched ice cream flavors from lavender vanilla to tropical passion fruit. :panic:

Sorry for resurrecting an older thread but had to post on here my impressions. I'm afraid what lies in wait if I go even further up the chain but, for now, I'm going to enjoy what I currently have for now. It's THAT good.
