PS Audio Power Plant Premier THD Output Results

I recently purchased a used PS Audio Power Plant Premier.

After installing the unit and plugging in my LED TV, Oppo Blu-Ray Player, and Marantz Pre-Amp I checked the PPP's THD output results and I am getting a 1% THD on the output.

I sent an email to PS Audio and was told that the PPP should be providing me with an THD output of .4 to .5% in order to be working properly. The tech at PS Audio suggested that my PPP may need to have the regenerator rebuilt at a cost of $250 plus I have to pay for shipping both ways so I am looking at a $300 repair bill.

Basically, I would like to hear from any PPP owners to find out what your THD output readings are when you have your connected gear powered on and running through the PPP.

I am a bit skeptical that there is a problem with my PPP as I am getting a THD output of 1% which is only .5% higher than what PS Audio claims my PPP should be delivering.

Resurrecting an older thread here...

@southernphoenix, you mentioned 2.5% THD incoming is very low. Do you know what average and very high THD incoming measurements are?

I put a Power Plant Premier into my system this weekend. Very nice and well made unit and measured the following on sine wave mode:

Inputs: 115v, 6.8% THD
Outputs: 120v, .8% THD
