For anyone who uses one of the latest generation PS Audio power plants (P12, P15, or P20), do you power up your components by switching in the PS Audio regenerator, or do you leave the PS Audio in stand-by mode and power up your components individually? After two days with a P15, I am coming to the conclusion that it is best to leave the P15 idling at all times and to switch my components manually. Reason: It "seems" (and I use that term to reflect the subjectivity of my opinion) that the P15 takes a while to have its max effect on SQ, if you start it up from cold prior to each session. Thanks for any opinions.
PS Audio Regenerators - P5, P10, P12, P15
Currently I have the P5 powering my front end 2 channel system. Amplifiers running directly from the wall as is subwoofer. Separately I have a projector that I was running off of a Pure Power 1050. The Pure Power unit died and I don't want to get it repaired (too many horror stories). I am looking at either a used P10, new P12 or new P15. The P10 or P15 would replace the P5 and I would connect the projector and subwoofer (JL Audio f112 v2) to the unit so all my equipment except the 2 channel amps would be connected to one unit. A P12 would be for the projector and sub only (so I would have a P5 and P12).
Money is obviously a factor if I go for the P15 as with trade in it still costs $5,000. A used P10 is under $3,000. Any thoughts?
