@ozzy what amps are u using with the AQ 7000 ?
Audio Quest Niagara 5000
I’m very interested in purchasing a AQ Niagara 5000. I’ve read and heard that there is a buzzing noise from the transformer. And on a utube video from Jays audio lab when he demoed the AQ 5000 and Shunyata Denali he said the hum from the AQ 5000 was also going through his speakers Does anyone own AQ 5000 and can tell me how bad the hum is ? Also this is a power conditioner / surge protector. But I’m really wanting it for the power conditioning. If there is a hum from the transformer and it’s supposed to take all bad dirty electricity from your line why would anyone want this power conditioner that the transformer hums and u can here it from up to 2 ft away.

Presently I am using the Michi 8. (1800 watts per channel!) (Read my current review) Audiogon Discussion Forum Previous to that I used Bob Carver M350 (tube), Pass Labs X350.8, X350.5 (solid state), Atma-Sphere M60 3.3 (tube) ozzy |
I have the 7000 and while with certain gear there can be a quiet hum near the unit, it hasn’t been through speakers. I have my entire system going through it, with BHK300 monoblocks as well. I find extra dynamics with the units added storage for transients. I’m going to experiment adding an older Furman reference 15 to see if having some gear on that provides benefits. |
