I can’t speak to the Niagara 1200 directly as I have a Niagara 7000. The way my dedicated power circuit is run, I can either power my ARC Ref75SE from the high current outlets of the N7K or the from the same duplex wall outlet as the N7K. There are no downsides and significant upsides of powering the amp from the Niagara 7000. Noise floor decreases and dynamics improve, whether due to the improved noise floor or because the dynamics actually improve or both. There is absolutely no compromise powering the amp from the Niagara 7000’s high current outlets. While not a direct answer, hopefully this data point is useful in some way.
Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics?
Hi, I have a Belles 150A Reference amp driving Vandersteen 2E sig speakers, which I don't play loud at all. I currently have everything else plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 6, but felt it limited the amp's dynamics, so it's plugged directly into the dedicated line outlet. Would an Audioquest Niagra 1200 do better?
