Power Plant Premier making sound worse?


I have 2 new dedicated lines installed using Telsaplex outlets. I have 3 Kubala-sosna Emotion PCs feeding an Ayre V5Xe, Ayre K5xe and Ayre C7xe. They were all plugged into the PPP, a Lossless PC feeds the PPP from one of the dedicated lines. I noticed a buzzing sound that went away from the PPP so out of concern I shut off the PPP and fed all the Ayre stuff to the outlets directly (amp to one outlet, preamp and CD player to other) via all KS PCs. It sounds much better, more texture and detail. I am very surprised so I am not sure if there is an issue with the PPP or should I just get rid of it? Please comment

I suggest calling PS Audio and discussing it with them, describing all of the details, as you did in your post. They are one of the most helpful and customer oriented companies around, and are usually willing to do just about anything to help you fix the problem.

From some of the above posts it sounds like your problem may be from incompatibility with some of your power cords, etc. Or a slight chance of a defect in the PPP, although not likely.

Also try some of the different settings of the PPP, accessed from the remote, including having all of your components turned on (not running) and activate the "clean wave" function. This will "degauss" all of the connected magnetics.

I have a PPP plugged into a dedicated 20A circuit, and use a variety of power cords, depending on the components (JPS Labs Digital AC for SACD player, etc.) and the difference in sound quality after hooking up the PPP is amazing.
