Power Cords


I currently have Wireworld Silver Electra power cords with upgraded Platinum plugs. I had two 1M Wireworld Platinum power cords, but rearranged my system and required longer cords. Yesterday I borrowed two Shunyata Sigma NR power cords. On the first note my wife softly said, "that sounds better". She said it was clearer. I listened for a couple hours, changing the power cords a couple of times. In my system and to my ears this is my conclusion:
The Sigma's are cleaner, definitely has more bass, a dead silent and completely black background. The Wireworld cords are more detailed, with a wider soundstage and better spacing/separation of instruments. All things considered I'll keep my Wireworld, but I'm curious to listen to other power cords.
After inserting the Sigma's I just don't understand how anyone that listened to different power cords could conclude that they can't hear a difference. There is a difference, but like any other component the individual has to decide if the change is worth it. $6K for two power cords is relatively expensive. Expensive, but oddly maybe a good value? In my system there was a definite improvement with better bass impact and articulation. Would spending $6K or just changing amplifiers yield similar results? As with most components there are trade-offs...is there a power cord out there that has the benefits of the Sigma's and Wireworld Silver Electra's? If so, at what cost?

I tested and compared Shunyata powercables. I also test each powercable on all the properties they own. Shunyata powercables are all limited in individual focus of voices and instruments.

When you compare them with Purist Audio powercables you will directly hear that voices and instruments become bigger in size and are also less tangible.

I started to test powercables in 2002 and have done many tests with them. They can make a huge difference and are more important than most people think.

I tested all the Audioquest powercables. They were not bad, but not good enough either. Recently they brought out new powercables.

3 weeks ago I received 3 Hurricane powercables. And they are of a totally different quality than they ever made. And are 3 times as thick than in the past.

I am not allowed to talk about them in details yet. But for the money they cost they are the best I tested sofar.

I would give them a try. They are superior to all the Shunyata I auditioned.
We are AQ dealer in Europe and we are told not to give details untill the official release will be given. I respect that.

Most people have no ideas what the properties are of each brand and even cable. Differences are huge. When you have no idea what the properties are of each single part in your audio system you never will understand which properties they own. And why the stage and sound of your audio system is what you hear.

Shunyata is incomplete based on the fact that sound owns more different properties. We have ideas to demonstrate audio to a new and superior level. Then we can proof based on facts what is missing.

We want to use and compare real music and sound vs audiosystems. The way how we work and think we can get a lot more closer to how music sounds in real.

There is so much more information and diversity in recordings than most audio systems can reveal. This information what is often missing creates a much higher emotional experience during listening to music. When an audio system is able to let you hear this extra information.

For example the new AQ conditioners are also found incomplete during my tests. This means that I was missing essential parts on which sound is founded.

In the past we tested the Anaconda and Phyton. The Purist Audio Limited Edition were superior to these cables.

For the first time I think I found a good competitor to the Purist Audio powercables and that are the new AQ powercables.

In 2010 I already said to AQ that they need to use more AWG. I am glad they changed it. Their technique and material were already good, but they were much too thin.


You need to be sure that the powercables you get are burned in. It doesn't make sense at all to listen to brand new cables.

The Hurrican were good even brand new. But when they were burned in they were playing at a much higher level.

You need to focus on the individual focus of instruments and voices. There are many American brands in powercables who have no F. idea hoiw smaal and direct voices and instruments are.

That is a main reason why we want to give demos at shows with real music and instruments to make people aware of how small and direct they are in real.

The AMT tweeter of the Pl-500 is abel to create a stunning level in diversity in height of voices and instruments. But most audio products and even cables are not precise enough to create this.
The older AQ powercables doesn't make sense to test at all. They are all inferior compared to the new ones. If you have an option try Purist Audio as well. 

In the past I did many tests with many different powercables. Often the Purist powercables were the best by far.
First of all I never wrote that the Pl-500 is the best loudspeaker. Because it is not. The thing about audio is that most people are only able to use a very small part of the quality it is able to deliver.

Electricity is the fuel to your system. You even can describe it as the oxygene to all your parts in yoyr system. It makes a huge difference. But a powercable is only a part in the whole system.

First you need a separate audio group for the electricity. What kind of conditioner do you use?

The things most people have no idea about are: SMOG, HIGH FREQENY NOISE AND MAGNETISM.

And mann they have a huge negative influence on your system.

I see you use a Marantz for surround. We did recently did test a 8801 pre map. And mannnn it was extremely poor in all parts.

Marantz is for 100% a 2D product. No one can change that. The other part in which Marantz is very poor is the quality of their videoscaler inside.

We use the best and most expensive Calman 2017 software and the new 2017 tools to calibrate screens and beamers.

Even the LG Oled 2017 topmodels gave a very poor result even with the 8801. It lacked 3D image, the colours were not that natural. And the details were rather poor as well. The best AQ HDMI cables were not able to solve it.

When you take a look inside the Marantz products you see the cheap parts. This proofs how limited they are. The company who does the technical support of Marantz in my country told me how poor the parts are they use.

Onkyo in 2017 do it even the same way. it shows how low quality you get for the money you want to spend. The reviews are often paid. So Ricred what would you like to hear?

The truth or the thing you would like to hear?
Since 2010 I said to Audioquest that competitors are better in powercables. For a perfectionist like me there is only one which counts. And that is the best one.

2nd best is for born losers in our world. We protect all our clients to the max. And we want them to receive the best quality possible. We don't care about a name.

I tested the Wel and Wild as well and they were not good enough. Based on 2 facts. They were to thin and silver soed not work that well for powercables.

They only cable I liked was the NRG-1000 with the new plugs. But I only used it for some powersupplies.

But the Hurricane is the same material as the NRG-1000. But it is 3 times as thick. And mann that creates a different league.

I also tested the new AQ conditioners, I don't like them. There are others which are better. When you compare the conditioners to the cables there is a difference in properties.

I am only interested in products which are able to reveal all details on which sound is being formed.

They are not good in individual focus, Shunyata products show exactly these kind of limitations.

Most people who have audio as a hobby have no idea on which parts sound is being founded. Then it is easy to buy products which are incomplete.

Most audio products are incomplete based on facts. We can proof this and demonstrate it very easily. We work by Tru-Fi and make all the systems of new clienst complete.

The first time when we audition an audiosystem of a new client it is always incomplete. I invite them or I send then to clienst who also own an audio system who can reveal all 8 parts of Tru-Fi.

It is very easy to understand what the differences are with your system. The level in emotion and intensity of each Tru-Fi audio system outperforms any audio system which is being created by trial and error.

Each single person on this planet prefers any sytem what can reveal more details and emotion compared to any incomplete system.
I did a lot of research in many brands and products. I know of most of them the DNA. All Marantz products proof to be 2D. I can proof this on facts.

I sold many Monitor Audio loudspeakers to Maranzt owners. But after a 3D demo they all wanted to get rid of their Marantz. Each person in the world will always choose directly for 3D sound. In both stereo and surround.

This is based on how our emotion works. Soon I will place many reviews of clienst who went from 2D to 3D image. They all use their systems so much more and longer at the same time compared to the past.

That is why I will never sell any kind of 2D audio again in this life. Over 99% of all audiosystems sold over the world are 2D.

I think it is time for only 3D image. Because it will bring people to a more realistic level in sound. And they will be much more happy with their systems.
The distributer of Monitor Audio in my country now does Torus as well. It is a brand I never auditioned. It looks like you have the right tools to get the maximum out of powercables.

I started to test powercables in 2002. We were NBS dealer at that time and I had the opportunity to test them. I was amazed by the impact of it. But.........I didn't like the fact that instruments and voices became out of proportion. But it was the opener to test many powercables. 

It was always a great experience to test powercables. Most people have no idea how big the importancy is of these cables.

From 2004-2006 I sold Nordost Valhalla powercabels as sandwiches that time. But....they were incomplete and I was already aware of that in 2004.

When you have no idea on which parts sound is being formed it is impossible to choose the right and best option.

I used 3 AQ NRG-1000 powercables for each a separate powersupply. When I replaced them by the Hurricane it brought me to a new level in sound and quality.

When AQ does the official release I will write a review in details what makes them different and superior to the old ones. 

Soon we will talk with different manufacturers about surround. We can bring cinemas as well to a new and mich higher level in real 3D sound.

We reached a level where we can proof that the stage is at a new holographic 3D stage. The stage is 4 metres behind the center en front loudspeakers.

With Avatar we are able to create a height at 2.5m on the rearspeakers. These speakers are at about 1.1 metre. 

You only can create real 3D sound when the loudspeakers, amps and sources own the DNA to create it. 

Our Strealth low frequency will bring the subwoofer to a much more important level in both stereo and surround.

In surround mode it can bring the energy where is it at the recording. From our seat there are movies where you can feel that the energy of the low frequencies can be felt at about 2 metres high.

We want to show the world what real 3D sound is. And with vision we can do the same. We invited the people of LG to our place. They never auditioned the level in details and 3D image ever. Also in Korea at LG they didn't experience the level we demoed to them.

We create both sound and vision, based on the fact that we use all the properties on which they are being formed. This creates a superior level in realism of both sound&vision.


When AQ gives me access I will write the review. And I will describe in details why it is that good and so much better than the old AQ powercables.

The older ones were in our world not good enough. I am not sure if the more expensive ones are better than competitors. Because AQ use silver inside.

All my tests with the Wel were not that good. I think I will prefer other brands more who also make expensive powercables with only the use of copper.

We work by facts and we are not here to be polite. We protect all our clients. For them we work this precise and hard.
I just phoned with AQ about the plugs. From the Hurricane and above they use Silver plated (over pure red copper) plugs.

I don’t like the shape and shiny new DBS of AQ. But they say it is an improvement over the old one. They improved the isolation compared to the older ones.
The Hurricane is of a different league compared to the NRG-1000. The thing what I will aks AQ today is what the material of the new plugs is.

Because this cannot be found. I think it will be similar compared to the 1000 plugs like the ones of the NRG-1000. These are silver plated
(over pure red copper)

You need to be aware of the DNA of each product before you are able to us them maximum. The AMT tweeter (totally different than a ribbon tweeter) needs the right cables and equipment.

The facts proof that most people have no idea and all made the same mistakes. The shows proved these mistakes. And I saw often the same kind of mistakes on photos. This proves over and over again that people have no idea about properties. Because when they would have understand this, they would never had made those faults.

I visited different 800D3 demoes. The facts proof that they are still 2D. We will give demoes in 2018 and will proof that they are 2D. My 800S had the same limitations. As the 800D1 and 800D2 had. These are properties no one can change until B&W will hire new people who can create better crossovers and faster materials.

For example: Playing Miles Davis on the 800D3 proved that Miles was nog standing 2 metres behind the front line. Beside this the trumpet was on the same height of the tweeter. What proves that the speaker cannot create diversity in height.

We create a superior level in stage depth, width and height. This makes music a totally different experience. It only can be created when you understand all the properties each part in your system owns.

Trial and error is like audiogambling. I discussed this with several people who own an audio shop and all agreed. The sound and stage always proofs the truth and the quality of each audio system.

When the stage is wider, deeper and higher you will hear more details tangible and free for eachother. This makes a huge difference compared to any stage what is more compressed. And the most common limitation at this moment is the lack in diversity. At shows most demoes proof that there is alsmost no diversity (layering) in sound.

When you would have known how voices and instruments can create diversity you would be aware of what you do wrong. That is why we will use real voices and instruments to proof that music is 3D and that it is very tangible and direct/ And that you can hear many layers.

We want all people to get closer to the truth and real music. I can garantee for 100% that each single person will prefer it. We have done this hundreds of times and the results are always the same.

The best and most convincing sound and stage will always be choosen!






I wil write a review of the Hurricane this week. First it will got to Audioquest to be checked. It will not be negative at all.

2 weeks ago we compared it in an audiosystem of a friend of mine. We compared it with the AQ NRG-1000 and Purist Audio Aqueous 2008.

Mann this is a different world. A few years ago we compared the AQ Wild powercable against the same Purist Audio Aqueous 2008. The Purist was the clear winner that time.

But the Hurricane doens’t even take the Aqueous seriously. It laughs at it and asks if it needs to take this cable serious and as a real competitor.

I was already very surprised with the Hurricane. But now even more. I will write in details why it is that different and unique.

Even compared to the NRG-1000 the differences are rather huge. The NRG-1000 was my favorite AQ cable. The Hurricane is in a different league.
People forget that differences between cables are a lot bigger than they think. You only can understand the DNA of a cable, when you can extract all the different properties of sound.

When you would use an audio system what is able to reveal all the different properties you can find in music and sound there are many cables where you will even loose properties of sound and music.

What we do is let people listen to a system what can reveal all the properties compared to systems which are incomplete and misses different properties. By focussing property by property people can easily understand what is missing

Audio only can be controled and guided when you are aware of all the properties of each individual part in your audio system. When you cannot do this, audio is just one big gamble. Based on the fact that you have no idea which properties you take out when you change an amp, cable, source, or loudspeaker. And when you have no idea which properties you bring in when it will be replaced by another amp, cable, source or loudspeaker.

The Dragon powercables are using silver. Both the Wild and Wel showed the same kind of limitations based on the fact that it usses silver.

Silver is for powercables often not the right material. It works different than silver in interconnects and loudspeakercables.

Even Jim Aud says that copper works a lot better for powercables than silver. He only sells one pure silver powercables based on the fact that clients asked for it.

Both Wel and Wild did not convince in any test I did. The Dragon will be superior to the Wel like it is a dinky toy. Audioquest can create stunning powercables for the first time ever.

This is a great achievement. The conditioners I don’t like based on the fact that they showed not to be complete in properties. I said to Audioquest Europe that they should invite the person who created them.

I can easily explain and demo why it is incomplete. It is very simple like 1 and 1 is 2. Each person with a normal hearing will understand it.




I think even the more affordable will be great. It is the used technique and design what makes them so much better than the older ones.

The older ones where not good enough, because there were better ones. The only thing what I liked about them was that they owned the right properties.
We work by Tru-Fi. Tru-Fi are all the different properties on which both sound&vision are founded.

This is a different level than the trial and error (audiogambling) way all people choose there audiosystems. It is superior in efficiency based on the fact that you create sound by properties.

For me it is easy as 1 and 1=2 to explain to people that their audiosystem is incomplete. Trial and error will never make you understand why the stage and sound is what you hear.

You only can understand audio when you understand both sound and music. So you need to be able to know the full DNA of each individual part in your system.

At audioshows systems are in over 99% incomplete based on the fact that the people have no idea what the properties are of each individual part of the system they demonstrate.

Beside the properties they don’t understand the working of the acoustics. And second they do not know all the different parts which also have a bad influence on the sound and stage like the acoustics.

That is why they all do audio at the level of a child. And I can explain this why it is called the level of a child?

A child has a lot less experience and insight in many ’new’ situations compared to adults. When you have no idea about the properties you have no idea what you are doing. There is no effective foundation on which you select your audiosystem.

People believe that they can choose an audio system on personal taste by trial and error. I can proof and again on facts that this is bullshit. No person in the world will ever choose blind a system what is incomplete. This is based on how our emotion works.

Based on the fact that each single person will always choose the sound and stage what owns the most properties. And that these properties are filled in the right way.

By using Tru-Fi we also work on how the human emotion works. Both sound and vision is emotion. So you need to understand how the human emotion works regarding both sound and vision.

When an audiosystem owns more properties it is able to create a higher level in emotion for each single person. You will always choose the most emotional and intense sound you hear. People explain it as more attractive and intense during listening.

Beside this you need to understand how voices and instruments sounds in real and how big they are in proportion. It even goes furhter than that. Even a voice or instrument has a shape in the room where you audition it.

When you work that precise as we do, you can even hear the shape and right proportion of a voice or instrument like in real.

Tru-Fi is a control system that you use all the properties on which sound is being formed. And it proofs and shows that most systems are incomplete on properties.

We do a lot of research in both sound&vision all the time. And this for almost 20 years now. Tru-Fi makes you understand better how sound and vision is build and how it really works.

I started with sound when I was 6. I am addicted to music, so you want to be able to experience music as realistic as possible. I have done thousands of tests (many thought that this was a joke) in almost 20 years now.

For me music and sound are the most addictive things in life. A born perfecionist nevers stops untill he dies. I can improve sound and vision each 2 months over and over agian.

The thousands of tests gave me a photographic memory in sound. This makes it very easy to understand if a new situation is better than the old one.

I am looking for an improved level all the time. Both sound and vision are a lot more complex than people can imagine. You need to know exactly all the properties and all the parts who have a bad influence on both sound and vision.

This makes me able to understand what I hear and see. When you know all the parameters you can improve both sound and vision all the time by doing tests. It makes it so much easier to understand.

Audioquest owns all the different properties of sound and fill them in the right way. But I also found out that their conditioners are not complete. And it proves for me that the person who created it, does not understand all the properties on which sound is being based on.

Ricred1 bought a Fire and was amazaed how much better it was than his Wireworld. This can easily be explained. It owns more different properties. His speakers are able to reveal all part on which sound is based on.

Most people have no idea that they own an audiosystem what is incomplete. But Tru-Fi can easily proof it and even based on facts. People always understand what we mean and what is missing.

We don’t sell separate products, we create sound by Tru-Fi. I will never help any person anymore who owns 2D loudspeakers. This is based on thr fact that no person in the world will ever become happy and satisfied with this system.

And you know why?

Because we humans hear sound in a 3D spectrum. So it would be even insane to listen to music in a 2D spectrum what over 99% do in the world.

We brought many many people since 2009 from 2D image to a 3D image. They have one thing is common.

Thye use their systems so much more and frequently. Many call their systems addictive. That is what music can do when your system can reveal all the information of a recording.




hahahahaha........I don’t think it makes a big difference. I know some people who create their own jackets around cables.

They believe it makes a big difference. I never used it, so I cannot give any judgement about that.

I think light will influence sound. So when you create jacket what reflects the light it can make a difference.

I did a lot of research in smog and mann this has a big negative influence on sound and even vision. I can reduce smog thse days a lot and it makes a great improvement.

Even the level of humidity influecnes the sound and stage. The great thing about all the tests I did it gives you a great perspective of how many things can influence both sound&vision.

People have no idea how ineffective they use all the different parts in their systems. When you work an think by Tru-Fi (all properties) and the parts who negative influences the sound you can use each individual part so much more effective.

The pictures overhere on Audiogon proof that people have no idea about the properties. I know the DNA of many of them. When you would have know the properties you would never made the combination you created.

Also based on the placement of their systems it proofs that they have no idea how it influences the results in sound and stage.

There are many ways to improve the sound and stage. And even many have nothing to do with money.

In 2018 we will proof and demo that Statement Audio Pro-measurement is by far the most effective tool in audio. And it also proofs how limited audio is without it.

It is my personal goal to share it with as many people as possible. Because it will give many people a huge step to a much higher level in sound and stage quality and realism.

I see that most people in audio still think and work like it is 1980. This needs to stop. And you know why?

Because they way audio is done all over the world it will make the audio market within 20 years a lot smaller. You need to do it a lot differently to make the new generation also interested in both sound&vision.

These people all cannot change it, there is a big need to change. I am 45 years old, at audioshows I am one of the more young people at shows. This proofs how insane it is. The average age is far over 50 years old.

Only real emotion and intensity in both sound&vision can make a difference. And this is what we want to share with the world.
I will use 2018 to bring both sound&vision to a next level. I waited some more time. In the last 2 yearss I have done so much research that I can outperform any person in the world in both sound&vision. The level in realism and emotion is of a new reference level.

My personal goal is to be the best in the world in both sound&vision. And I will proof it with facts and real sound&vision. It will be a new world and experience for many people.

I can garantee you that all people still focus on products and brands. And when you ask them simple question, they cannot answer any of them. This proofs and again on facts that they have no idea why the stage and sound is what they hear.

And this also proofs that they cannot control and guide both sound&vision. There is not even a discussion possible. I tried it with many people who also work in audio. They all had to admit that they had no idea why the stage and sound is what they hear.

When you cannot think in properties of sound and you can’t tell how voices and instruments sounds in real and how they are projected in sound, you never can understand audio either.

The facts proof over and over again that both sound&vision what has been created by trial and error is in over 99% 2D. And it sounds and looks so much different than in reality.

That is why I will give demoes in 2018 with conservatorium students to show people how voices and instruments really sounds. This is the only way that the coloured and 2D audio en also vision will stop.

Many many people with expensive systems who were honest to me told me that they were not that happy with their system. Each stunning system will be used so much more frequently and longer at the same time.

When both sound&vision can be presented at a higher level in realism and emotion all people would want to own it. No 2D audio system or system with almost no diversity in sound can make us humans happy with it.

The emotion is inside the music and movies. It only can be experienced when an audiosystem can reveal all the information of the recording or movie.


Trial and error is creating audio by pure gambling. Most people have no idea how limited the endresults are of their systems until you present an audiosystem what reveals so much more information of a recording.

People have no idea how big the influence is of the acoustics of a room. When you think you can solve this by using bass traps and diffusers you don’t understand the level in limitation.

The biggest problem in audio is that people focus on brands and products. And that is why they always talk about a brand or a product.

But when you are not able to understand and explain what all the different properties are of that product or even brand you have no idea what this product really does in your system.

You only can judge a little on the endresult of your system. But when you replace a part of your system by another part of a different brand or price range you still have no idea which properties you took out and which you did bring in.

This is the 100% proof that you are just doing audio by pure gambling. And this is the main reason why trail and error is so ineffective. Because it lacks any kind of foundation.

Most parts in an audiosystem are used just for a small % of the whole quality it could create when it would be used so much more effective. Money does not solve these problems at all.

Even many systems of over 200.000 dollar were one big laugh. There is only one way to control and understand audio when you understand why the stage and sound of your system is what you hear.

So you need to understand all the different properties of each single part in your system. Because the sound and stage what you hear is being formed by all the properties of each single part togheter including the acoustics and the other parts who have a negative influence on the sound and stage.








Audioquest asked me not to write all the details over the Hurricane yet. I have to respect that. I am now busy in writting the review of the Hurricane. They want to check this first before I post it.

And it will be very detailed so all people will understand what it does and why it is so different to other powercables  and the older Audioquest powercables.

You only can get a realistic review when you can reveal all the information of the recording. What I said before the facts proof that most audio products and brands are incomplete.

Many systems which are used in reviews are incomplete on facts. These people cannot think in properties, so they write a review based on trial and error. This will never give any realistic information over the product which is being reviewed.

So you need to change they way you think about audio. Trail and error proofs that it is one big gambling. That is why a new mindset is needed to bring people to a much higher level in sound and realism than they own now.

What I said; the facts proof that most sold audiosystms are 2D. Most audiosystems proof that there is almost no diversity. Most audiosystems create a lot of acoustic limitations in a room.

All these limitations togheter are the main reason why many people are changing parts in their system all the time.

Because they don't realize that they cannot control and understand what they change. This is why many are in a circle and can't get out.

You only can break this circle when you understand why the stage and sound of your system is what you hear. 
Audioquest is not able to describe in detail over their cables. It is very simple to explain why. Most systems they use for presentation are incomplete.

They only talk a little about technical details, but this does not say anything about the real properties and what it does in your system.

I know exactley the difference between many Audioquest cables. When you test by Tru-Fi it gives you a very detailed insight of all the different parts in sound.

That makes is so much easier to understand what the cable does in your system. When you would like to change the sound and stage of your system you need to know exactly which properties you take out and which you bring in.

But people do audio by trail and error. But this does not give you any information about the properties you took out and brought in with another cable, amp, source, loudspeaker etc.

This is why it is one big F. gambling. You never can control and guide your system to the sound and stage you want. Even when I aks to people; do you have any idea how voices and instruments sound and how they are projected into space?

Most say that they have no idea. When I aks how they want to adjust and control their system they often start to laugh. And say: you are fully right that we don’t know what we are doing.

When you create audio by properties a cable becomes a lot more important than how all other shops and companies in audio sell and use them. For them it is often some extra money and they will say: it wil improve the sound and quality.

They cannot work and think in properties, it will be one big gamble for them. In our way of creating a system cables are equal important than other parts in our system. When you use a cable by Tru-Fi the level of effectiveness becomes so much greater.

Very simple to explain; we can use more different properties out of any Audioquest cable. Because most brands and products in audio are incomplete in properties based on facts. I can and will proof this.

Most loudspeakers are incomplete again based on facts, so you never can use the full potential of an Audioquest cable. You are limited by the fact that you use different parts which are incomplete.

It is very easy to explain. Because what is missing will never be there. Audio has nothing to do with brands, products or price. All these parts does not garantee you anything at all.

Music and sound are based and founded on different properties. This is what you need to understand and build the sound and stage you want. There is no other way to do it correctly.

All the other ways of doing it are pure gambling.




They do not match on facts. Tru-Fi did prove it. We tested both 1000 and the 7000. The Niagara 1000 we did test in different Tru-Fi systems ( in 2 months of time and then we send it back again). And our conditioners were superior in all parts. The Niagara 1000 did lack stage depth as well. And also did lose in each individual aspect/property of sound compared to the conditioners we use.

The 7000 had the same limitation in stage depth and width. And regarding intimate sound and individual focus. The conditioners we use were superior. I informed Audioquest Europe about this issue. I invited them and asked them to bring in their 7000. So we will show and make them understand the limitations of the Niagara 7000.

On the recording, you will find the details and aspects/properties of sound. And your system needs to be able to reveal it. All tests we do with Audioquest cables (loudspeaker cables/interconnects/power cables) always show us all the aspects of sound.

But when we connect the 1000 and 7000 2 aspects of sound are gone. Even all other demos I auditioned with the Niagara conditioners (during shows) showed the same aspects missing.

We love shootout and we work on facts. I will show Audioquest Europe which parts are missing. I will also go to their place. And I will also show them what is missing over here.

The sound always tells you the truth. And what is missing never can be heard. When an audio product does not own all the aspects of sound the end result will always be incomplete.

Tru-Fi always overrules each incomplete audio system. It always shows a superior level in emotion and intensity compared to each incomplete audio system.

In a few days, I will receive the new Audioquest Firebird. I think it will be stunning. All their cables can reveal all the aspects/properties of sound. It will not have the limitations as their conditioners showed to us.
