PS Audio Power Plants

I started with a P500 power plant, then a Premier Power Plant and now a P5. The P5 has revolutionized the sound of my system. Paul McGowan and the fine folks at PS Audio have been working on the regenerator for many years. The P5, 10 and now 20 are all manufactured in Boulder, CO where QC is excellent and the performance, exemplary. I am listening now to Arthur Rubinstein performing Chopin on an RCA Living Stereo SACD and the piano is in the room with me (or as close as I can imagine it getting). My input THD is 1.7% with the output being .1%. With my entire system connected, including my SMc Audio 200 watt/ch. amplifier, my P5 is running at 34% of capacity and the music is dynamic and clean. If your situation and wallet can accommodate a P10 or 20, well good for you!! Have at it. You will have great sound regardless of the day or time of day.

@keithjacksontucson  The P5 is a whole different beast than the PPP.  With the PPP I couldn't run my power amp off of it without shutting down the regenerator.  The P5 handles the amp and all other equipment nicely.  As I said previously, I am using only 34% of the P5's capacity with the amplifier.  Sound is great!

@twoleftears   Just curious if you ever contacted Paul McGowan about the "whine" issue??  The only time I hear a sound like that is during the "Clean" function.

@joeschmoe I had a much different conversation with PS tech. support. Perhaps the circumstances at the time affected our conversation. At that time, PS was offering over $1000 in trade-in value on a P5 or P10. Their advice to me was definite that the P5 would be a significant upgrade over the PPP and that I WOULD be able to run my power amp off of it, which I could not do with the PPP. The time I tried to do so, the regenerator went offline requiring me to return it to PS.

I did the deal and my entire system runs off of it using only 34% of its capacity! A great piece of gear.
