Anyone dumping their power conditiner?

Nope. I love my Niagara 5000’s. Great linear noise reduction. Totally neutral sonically. Outstanding dynamics. Tremendously transparent when used in conjunction with the Dragon Power Cords. No desire to try anything else.

I've only dumped one power conditioner - a PS Audio one. Physically noisy (it buzzed) and apparently no improvement to sound quality.

If you still have it, and you willing to apply some effort, you should consider trying it in a different room or a friends house to see if it still buzzes.

Long since ditched, but used in 2 rooms and at 2 homes. Luckily I could return it to the dealer, but attitude from PSA at the time not helpful. This was many years ago, but my view of PSA has stuck and not helped by it's owner's way of doing business.

Got it, at least you were able to return it. On goes the march [emoji851]

Everest 8000 w/Omega XC is what I’m looking for in a power conditioner.

My Niagra 5000 is in the HT and perfect for that system as it has 12 outlets and a top quality product.

Agreed on the Niagara 5000. Mine isn't going anywhere.
 
I had a MIT Z Stabilizer way back in the early 90s and also thought,at least for a while. it made everything better.
It did shave off more than noise though...kind of like the analogy of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly!
I think PC's have drastically improved since then.
 
I will never ditch my Shunyata power conditioner! It does a lot for my sound. Anyone that claims otherwise needs to get a more resolving system or a new set of ears :)

Classic. That is the "checkmate" audiophile statement after which there is usually silence. If it was only that simple...

I would agree with Marc that the Everest's capabilities were readily apparent to me. I also agree with you that one might refrain from questioning an others hearing in an open forum. There are plenty of times I may have thought this over the years but "normally" keep my fingers off the keyboard.

I guess I need to work on my restraint!
 
I dumped these two for the following reasons:

Equi=Tech 2Q - The Niagara 7000 was better in my system.

Niagara 7000 - Two reasons: It buzzed annoyingly at times and while I was able to eliminate most of it, eventually the buzz came back where I couldn't take it anymore. The GigaWatt PC-4 EVO+ was/is better in my system and it doesn't buzz!

Still running and happy with the Gigawatt PC-4 EVO+
 
Since I am always curious about how the mind works, if one "heard" a clear improvement yet read 100 others saying that product is junk, how long does it take before doubt sets in? :D

maybe it depends on the persons residence, be it an apartment, condo, home that you own and the condition the power and its ground is at the unit/home. A renter can't do anything to their power outside of the unit, pretty much the same for a condo owner when multiple units are connected and the group shares the same power feed into the unit. We don't know whom in the groups is a renter, or owns a single unit condo or owns their own home. A power conditioner might be able to provide some improvement in those cases. Its a mater of a persons perception. And or, a person having some weird feelings about taking a huge loss on a $4000 + power conditioner if it doesn't do a darn thing and they have to try to sell it.
