Audioquest NRG Z3 power cord

Is the Z3 still the go to cable for say an Expert 220 Pro if I was using it direct to the mains?

Not to be a troll here, but honestly, unless it's just a US thing and we have a gross, dirty power grid (possible), the Expert Pro benefits immensely from proper treatment and quality power. Game-changing.  If you're going to have kit like this, at least explore the Niagara 1200.  Forget the Z3.  It's a good cable, but we aren't here for good, or at least I'm not; I'm here for superlative.  The AQ Wind series fits neatly under the hood of the Dev.  I have been wanting to demo the Silver Cloud, which can be a little spendy, but currently run a Cardas Clear Beyond to a Niagara 1200 and then power the amp of the hour with a Blizzard with standard plugs.  I'm considering swapping the clear beyond for either a Silver Cloud in 1m with the better plugs or just jumping for the Dragon HC. 

Set your system up to win.  The Z3 is a great cable, but I would NEVER feed a Niagara 1200 or a quality integrated amp with the Z3.  And I think the guys over at AQ built a great cable,  But for 600 or so USD?  Get a Blizzard and stop the amateur hour, haha.

Ha Ha you hear the price :-)
