Having a non-sacrificial power supply and power conditioner is a great peace of mind to protect my system. The Niagra 1200 and the beefy power cord were sonically transparent with no background noise from any of the components and nothing was starved for power. This is a great piece of kit!

I was shocked and saddened when I connected my system to the Niagara 1200. When I switched the unit on, I immediately heard a slight buzz from my speakers. I had not been hearing any noise from my system; I just thought that maybe the Niagara would somehow improve things that, frankly, I wasn't having any problems with. I am aware that pretty much no one has ever reported this particular problem with the Niagara 1200. Perhaps it has to do with my integrated amp, which is a Belles Aria. That unit seems to have a unique design (I am woefully ignorant of electronics, so I can provide no details), and perhaps that has something to do with it. One example of its uniqueness is that when I power it off, after about thirty seconds the system makes a sound like a UFO-movie spaceship landing - apparently it is discharging its capacitors. I've not heard that on any other system. Anyway, my thanks to Upscale Audio for accepting the return without any hassle.

Upscale is awesome and easy to work with. With the audioquest in my ststem not sure I heard any difference. Still I kept it as it's well made and will absolutely protect my gear.

Fantastic upgrade. I have my entire system plugged into it including two large Parasound A21s. Initially it sounded a bit compressed. Bass lost some of its slam. 24 hours later things really changed. Black background, bass is back with a level of articulation that I’ve never had. Imagining is more focused and everything just sounds more realistic. Love it.

A great entry point for these types of products. This was my first Niagara product and this thing is huge and heavy and built like a tank. Thanks for the deal! Have a lot of power issues in my old apartment. This has made a huge impact.

The improvement of sound quality with this unit is exponential. It’s almost black magic and wizardry. It is that good highly recommend it.
