Thank you Shane and Audioquest for this product. Looks like a great combination of practical design, balanced number of sockets, and prices. The 707 is the one and for me and while personally its a little high, its not outside of achievable. Unlike some other products that are sooooooooo out of my range in the thousands of $. The 707 could see me pull the extra shift here or there to obtain one.

Amir takes all the joy out being an audiophile and his sheep just regurgitate whatever he says without question. Some things can't be measured. I put a power/line conditioner on a system years ago in a home with shotty electrical and it cleaned up the sound, bass got tighter, mids and treble became more clear. I would regularly show people the difference as I plugged my system into the wall and into the conditioner and everyone noticed the difference. Amir can't reproduce every situation.

@crodoc69 7 месяцев назад

You showed us device that picks up signal (EMI) of certain radio station because cables in walls are acting as radio antenna, right? However, you forget that radio frequencies range is 88-108MHz while what we hear is 20Hz - 20KHz. Mega vs. kilo! Ring a bell?? 100$ made in China device you used transformed that picked up signal in MHz range into audiable sound that is amplified (in this case to max.) in order to be heared like any pocket radio would do. You proved that PowerQuest 707 filters that signal and that's fine. However, be kind and tell me what that tiny signal has to do with electric current flow in power cable and how our gear performs, based on some proper measurements, shown in comparison graph, table or anything concrete. Also be kind and tell can that tiny signal somehow disturb 110/220v current flow in cables so our gear perform worse and exactly how. As we all know our gear works on electric current, not on any kind of signals or noise. Answering those questions will show are there reasons for buying 1300$ power conditioner (noise filter) from AudioQuest.

@gingerninja7187 10 месяцев назад

conditioners put series inductance in the path of the AC current. This can definitely impact the di/dt of the current, which reduces transient current to the device. The result of this is usually reduced dynamics, particularly high frequency. Taken from the web Usually with a good there is a bad

@GameSack 10 месяцев назад

This is a bit more expensive than my whole-house power conditioner at my panel. However I really like that test you did. I wonder how much difference it would've made if your refrigerator and garbage disposal were running.

@bigjack79 10 месяцев назад

@TokeBoisen 10 месяцев назад

Amir has tested several power conditioners. Several of which did indeed reduce noise in the AC power. However, no testing done or measurements shown indicated a change in noise or output from the attached equipment, which I think is much more relevant than whether you can prove mains-lines pick up noise that you can filter out externally. Your equipment does this perfectly fine by itself.

Amir's conclusion on the Niagara 1200: "If you want to spend $1000 on a sturdy box with surge protection, go ahead. But please don't assume it does something for your sound. It does not."

However, the mechanical noise coming from the unit with the power correction circuit engaged was a big no no for me... As far as I know the power correction circuit on the 707 is switched on permanently... Very curious about your findings on the mechanical noise coming from the 707 compared to the Niagara models...

Hey Shane - QQ: when you tested the line noise on the powerquest 707, did you let the unit burn in? If so, for how long before you tested the line noise? I ask because I got the powerquest 707 (from Crutchfield) a few days ago, and as soon as I plugged it into the wall, I got no decrease in the line noise from the back of the unit. I used the exact same line noise analyzer as yours.

I ended up ordering another Powerquest 707, this time from safe and sound, to determine whether I got a bad unit from crutchfield. I just got it. When plugged in and turned on I still get no reduction in the noise, using the power line noise analyzer. When I turn the knob on the noise analyzer to the right, the red light comes on indicating it is out of range. No

Without mains power, no audio or audio visual component can function. Your musical enjoyment is reduced by mains noise contamination .. this can be from either differential or common mode means noise. Differential noise is created by the power supplies in all electrical devices, while Common Mode noise is introduced by RFI and the wireless communications that are becoming increasingly Common. Since my purchase of an audiophile grade power conditioner my system has significantly better sound quality with more detail and greater dynamic range. Something to think about.. individually filtered and handmade components doesn't come cheap. So if it is, maybe one should think why.
