AudioQuest Niagara 1000

Low Z Power Noise-Dissipation System

Designed by Garth Powell, the Niagara 1000 embodies the very same design philosophy and incorporates the same patented technology found in its larger sibling, the Niagara 7000, but packs it into a smaller, sleeker enclosure—at a fraction of the price.

Much like the Niagara 7000, the Niagara 1000 uses ultra-low resistance solid-core wiring optimized for low-noise directionality, capacitor forming technologies that vastly improve linearity and minimize distortion, and low impedance AC inlet and outlet contacts with heavy silver plating over high-purity Beryllium Copper for superior noise dissipation. Similarly, Niagara 1000 features our non-sacrificial surge protection, Zero Ground-Contamination Technology, and over-voltage shutdown, ensuring that your customers’ A/V systems are thoroughly protected from AC surges and spikes.

The Niagara 1000 employs our patented Ground-Noise Dissipation System and Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology and fits six high-performance outlets into its sleek chassis. In addition, input current maximum capacity is 15 amps RMS in the 1000. The Niagara 1000, is designed to be placed on a floor or atop a rack, beside or behind a hi-fi system, measures 4.75” W x 4.0” H x 20.0” D, and weighs a  manageable 5.5lbs.

"In listening with the Niagara 1000, to some degree all the usual audio review clichés applied: It was like removing a layer of dust from a vinyl record’s surface, wiping a dirty window pane clean, etc. And it did seem that some bad stuff was also being cleared away from the signal path, allowing more musical information to be heard. On well-recorded source material, this often translated into greater clarity, detail, and the enhanced expression of the artistic qualities of the music. Image outlines were clearer, more convincing. All of these factors contributed to greater realism and more involving listening."

I am selling to upgrade to a larger unit. This unit is as-new and sealed in the original factory box.
