Balanaced Power Tech v. PS Audio

Hello.

I do not currently power condition,but will be living in apartment for next year, away from my dedicated line. I am contemplating units like the BPT CPC, and the PS Quintessence, both currently discounted here. Any thoughts on these units? The 700 for the Quintessence represents my high end.

Thanks,

John

I use a PS Audio P-300 regenerator on my front end devices. The older power plants are balanced, the newer ones like the PPP are not. I don't like regenerators for amps or high current devices. I could not live w/o my P-300 it makes a great difference. If I were you I'd pick up a used P-300. Realize there are many incarnations: No multiwave, Multiwave, multiwave II, upgraded w/gain cells and newer caps, better AC ports, remote control. I still believe the 120hz sine wave sounds best. Also my Oyaide R-1 WITH a WPC-Z cover plate makes a huge difference in AC delivery as well. Good luck.

Ait: no I mean 120hz, 120Volts. It doesn't hurt anything, I have no AC motors that need 60hz etc. 120hz jut pulses the current twice as fast. Really brings out the soundstage compared to 60hz in my setup.
