Niagara 3000 is Named Product of the Year (Again)

Truly great power does not go out of style or become obsolete. Nearly six years after its original release, Niagara 3000 continues to open the minds and ears of the world's most critical, skeptical, and respected listeners.

In 2023, it was named The Absolute Sound's Product of the Year. Now, Niagara 3000 has been named Stereophile's Accessory of 2025. 

In his original review, Alex Halberstadt memorably described it as "the first power conditioner I haven't hated," going on to explain: "The Niagara is the first conditioner I've heard that doesn't rob the music of excitement." Amplifiers plugged into the Niagara 3000 "...never sound compressed, rubbery, or otherwise compromised, but they do play considerably quieter."
