{"title":"All Power Products","description":"\u003cp\u003ePower optimization covers all the components that supply your HiFi system with clean, stable energy: mains filters and power conditioners, power supplies, and high-quality power cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy clean power?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery amplifier, streamer and DAC is only as good as the power it draws its energy from. The household mains is full of interference – from switch-mode power supplies, LED dimmers, chargers, and the neighbours' gear thrown in too. Mains filters and conditioners sift out this noise; the result is often a quieter background, more fine detail and a more stable sound picture. Clean power is the foundation nobody sees and hardly anyone photographs – yet you can hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll find here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the filtered power strip for starting out to the power regenerator that recreates the sine wave from scratch: here you'll find mains filters, power conditioners and DC blockers (for example from IsoTek and Vincent), linear power supplies as a replacement for noisy plug-in adapters (for example Merason), and power cables from AudioQuest, ViaBlue to IsoTek – all neatly sorted in one place. Which level actually makes a difference in your setup is something we size at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil according to your system, not the price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for – and straight talk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first decent stereo setup to a high-end chain with separate power amplifiers, almost every system benefits from clean power – the more resolving the chain, the more clearly. Honestly: if you invest four figures in amplifier and speakers and plug everything into the same power strip as the vacuum cleaner, you're leaving potential on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Power optimization isn't voodoo, but it's no miracle pill either. The effect depends heavily on your mains and your system. We won't promise you a whole new world, but tell you honestly which level pays off for you – and from what point your money is better spent on the source or the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVerdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e First get the supply in order, then squeeze the last bit out of cables. A well-chosen power strip with a filter is the most sensible first step for many systems; above that, the scale is open-ended. Tell us what's plugged into your outlet, and we'll find the right solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes power optimization really make an audible difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften yes – how clearly depends on your mains and your system. Typical results are a quieter background, cleaner fine detail and a more stable sound picture. We won't promise a miracle, but give you an honest assessment and, where possible, let you compare for yourself instead of just telling you about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMains filter, power conditioner or regenerator – what's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mains filter passively cleans the supply of interference. A power conditioner additionally separates and distributes the outputs in a targeted way. A regenerator like the IsoTek Genesis actively recreates the sine wave. More effort means more effect and a bigger budget – we recommend the level that suits your chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a filtered power strip enough, or do I need a big unit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many setups a good power strip with a filter is enough, for example an IsoTek V5 Polaris or Sirius. Large conditioners and regenerators pay off above all with extensive or very high-resolution chains. Tell us how many components you're powering, and we'll size it appropriately instead of oversizing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a linear power supply do for my streamer or DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA linear power supply replaces the supplied switch-mode adapter and powers the device with less interference and more calm – audible above all with streamers, DACs and phono stages. The prerequisite is that your device allows an external power supply, as with the Merason pow1, for example. We check the compatibility with you beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a high-quality power cable worth it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the final stretch to the component, a good power cable can be audible – what matters is cross-section, shielding and clean connectors. Honestly: get the filter and power strip sorted first, then the cable. We'll tell you on which component the extra spend is most likely to pay off, and where it won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I test this at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften yes – on request, and where possible, we bring components into your own system for comparison. We can't guarantee this for every single unit, since stock changes, but we usually find a way to let you judge the difference yourself before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy power optimization from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we see supply, devices and cables as one system and size it according to your setup, instead of selling you the most expensive part.

The result isn't some filter box with a marketing sticker, but an eleven-kilo unit that dissipates noise instead of choking your power amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Niagara 3000?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour wall outlet delivers a lot more than just power these days. Switch-mode power supplies, LED dimmers, routers, and the heat pump next door all dump high-frequency noise onto the line as well. The Niagara 3000 pushes back: patented Ground-Noise-Dissipation, filtering linearized across more than 18 octaves, and over 24 dB of noise rejection from 6 kHz to 1 GHz — without the resonance peaks that simple filter strips tend to pick up along the way. Two low-impedance high-current outlets are reserved for the amplifier. There, Transient Power Correction keeps more than 55 amps of peak current on tap for up to 25 milliseconds, so the bass never gets held back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven Schuko outlets with a clear division of labor: two for amplifiers or subwoofers, five linearly filtered ones for DAC, streamer, transport, and preamp. Plus destruction-free surge protection that absorbs spikes up to 6000 volts or 3000 amps without giving up the ghost itself — unlike the sacrificial components in hardware-store power strips. The power cable to the wall is deliberately not included: the Niagara has a C14 inlet and expects a 15 A-rated cable of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Niagara 3000 for — and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: if you're running three devices in the living room and mainly want surge protection, a PowerQuest strip serves you better. If you're powering several hefty power amps and a dozen sources, the Niagara 5000 is the smarter reach. In between — an ambitious stereo or AV chain, good components, audibly noisy mains — the 3000 hits the sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Niagara 3000 doesn't make anything louder — it makes everything cleaner. That's the least spectacular way to make a good system better, and one of the most effective.

Filtering runs both push-pull and common-mode at over 22 dB each — the common-mode stage is exactly what the smaller PowerQuest 2 doesn't have, and it's what helps against RF interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides the outlets, you get feed-throughs for coax, RJ45, and RJ11 lines — that's antenna, network, and phone. Four USB charging ports with a combined 4.8 amps sit on top and on the side. The removable stand allows horizontal or vertical mounting, and an AudioQuest power cable, 2.1 meters long, is included.

Second, the broader filtering: in push-pull mode, the 707 already starts at 8 kHz instead of 30 kHz and attenuates by more than 22 dB up to 1 GHz, and in common mode from 30 kHz to 100 MHz. Combined, that's roughly 20 octaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2U metal chassis in full rack width, mounting brackets included. Three low-impedance high-current outlets for amplifiers, active speakers, and subwoofers, four ultra-linearly filtered ones for sources, internally wired with 2.5 mm². The surge protection works destruction-free up to 6000 volts or 3000 amps; at 270 volts, the unit disconnects. The PQ-716 power cable with ZERO-Tech and RF\/ND-Tech is included — two meters, direction-controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PowerQuest 707 for — and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: if you're running several large power amps or continuously draw more than 10 amps, you're better served by the Niagara line — it offers more capacity and more outlets. But if you want the dynamic reserve of Niagara technology without its format and budget, the 707 is the most sensible compromise in the whole brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 707 is the PowerQuest where AudioQuest stopped cutting corners. A quieter background, noticeably more command in the bass, reliable protection — and a power cable in the box you won't want to replace right away.

The 707 starts in push-pull mode already at 8 kHz, covers roughly 20 octaves, and brings Transient Power Correction along. It's also a bit deeper and weighs a good 2.5 kilos more. The 505 remains the more affordable step without the power reservoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much can I connect to the PowerQuest 707?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total of 10 amps RMS at 230 volts, spread across seven outlets. Amplifiers, active speakers, and subwoofers belong on the three high-current outlets, sources on the four filtered ones. If you regularly need more current, you should consider a Niagara instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the PowerQuest 707 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause at this point in the line, the question of 707 or Niagara genuinely deserves advice — and we answer it instead of simply boxing up the more expensive unit.

Straight talk: it's not a cure-all. Older 230-volt models first need a motor conversion kit, and even the best power supply can't compensate for a worn-out drive belt – that needs replacing instead. Workshop tip: route the connecting cable loosely and without any tension, so no micro-vibrations travel back to the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a P3 owner in Wädenswil asks us for the most worthwhile first upgrade, the Neo PSU MK2 is almost always the answer.

First, the copper: Perfect-Surface Copper has such a smooth surface that considerably less distortion occurs at the boundary layer – exactly where high-frequency content likes to travel. Second, the cross-section, which at 2.08 mm² offers noticeably more headroom. And third, noise dissipation: silver-plated drain conductors and AudioQuest's RF\/ND process carry high-frequency dirt specifically to ground instead of leaving it in the device.
