Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection, Superior Sound & Picture

Upgrade your audio/video entertainment experience with PowerQuest. AudioQuest’s power filtration removes more noise and distortion than most power conditioners, dramatically improving your system’s performance. Unlike traditional surge protectors, PowerQuest devices feature Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection, which prevents both high voltage and high current from damaging your equipment, while ensuring that your PowerQuest device won’t fail over time.

Additionally, the PowerQuest 3 features a slim profile and an optional base that makes it ideal for mounting behind cabinets. Power cords plug straight down to the top row of AC outlets, making installation trouble free. For use horizontally on a shelf, simply leave off or remove the detachable base. Standing or lying down, all 8 outlets are easy to use and ready to send clean power to your audio/video equipment. Performance, Protection, Versatility, Value. See and hear everything as it was intended with PowerQuest.

Customers are mixed about the noise of the power supply. Some mention that the sound is cleaner, clearer, and sweeter, with no hums or hiss. The internal speaker array sounded darker and fuller, while the digital output from the TV was improved. The sound stage widens and the high tones become more clear. However, others say that their product had a major defect and just average sound. They attribute this to the inherently lean sound and the deep bass being tight but light.

Customers are mixed about the color of the power supply. Some mention that the shades of color are richer and subtler, and the color seems to be a bit more transparent. They also say that the whites are brighter and the blacks are deeper. However, other customers say that it's quite dark and muddy sounding at first, and that it darkens the overall presentation.

You get what you pay for. Mine had a major defect and just average sound

You get what you pay for. Mine had a major defect and just average sound
I was excited when AudioQuest announced this unit and its bigger brother, the PowerQuest 3. Both are affordable alternatives to their big-boy power conditioners in the Niagara line. But, alas, as with everything, you get what you pay for.This unit is all plastic, as to be expected at this price point. But it comes with its own, captive power cord. On one hand, this saves you the expense of buying an after-market cord; but on the other, also prevents you from upgrading it to something better. I was pleased though to find it was a custom-made AudioQuest cord with a 3x14 awg rating. That's pretty impressive on such a relatively inexpensive unit. It has an on/off switch and a reset button, which protects the unit in the event it is tripped by an actual surge/spike.What makes this unit so enticing is that it offers:1) a high current outlet, which is very useful for those with high output amps/receivers; and2) a special plug specifically filtered for a high def (4K) television. The owner's pamphlet states that it may be beneficial for blu-ray players as well. I did not try it with a disc player, but it seemed to work wonders for the crispness of picture and richness of colors on my 55" Samsung TV.This unit did not fare nearly as well on sound, though. Right out of the box, it was ill-focused, dark, muddy and dynamically polite, to be expected. And after several days of constant use, it began to open up and dynamics and focus improved considerably. Unfortunately, what began as a rather dark sonic character eventually lightened up too far in the opposite direction. The resultant sonic palette was rather gray and washed out, lacking warmth and richness. It was refined and had a pleasant perspective (not too forward, not too laid back), but lacked fullness and power. I attribute this to its inherently lean sound. Deep bass was tight but light. This characteristic did not benefit full symphony orchestra recordings or movies.Worst of all, however, I began hearing distortion here and there on a variety of movies and CDs, which worsened as time went on. Combined with the thin sound, I soon began to suspect something was amiss. I removed the unit and upon close examination, I discovered a 1" long, deep cut in its power cord, which went all the way through to the wires inside. I do not know how detrimental this defect was to its overall lean sound, but I can state with almost certainty it was causing the distortion I was hearing (which went away completely once I removed this unit).It's disheartening to realize that even a reputable company like AudioQuest can fail at quality control. This is a serious defect which is, frankly, unacceptable. I returned this unit back to Amazon and received a full refund.Incidentally, the only difference between this unit and its more expensive sibling, the PowerQuest 3, is the number of outlets. The "3" offers two high current and two HD TV plugs, along with the identical 4 standard plugs.UPDATE: AudioQuest has commented on this review and kindly pointed out there is another significant difference between these two units than just the additional plugs I noted above. The PQ3 provides "Ultra-Linear" filtering, while the PQ2 offers just "Linear" filtering. This means that the PQ3 offers both Common-Mode AND Differential-Mode filters. Theoretically, the PQ3 should offer better performance than the 2.
