I am panning to upgrade my Panamax 5300. Recommendations?


My Panamax 5300 is very old (approximately 20 years +/-), but seems to do the job. We just moved and we had voltage flux  which caused the 5300 to shut down three times in the past week. I am hoping it is doing a good job, but I am also concerned that it may be showing it's age. 

I would like to add something like the PS Audio Power Plant 20 but it will not fit in my system (12 inch maximum height). I am considering using two PS Audio Power Plant 12 units (stacked). I need 12 outlets, thus two PP 12's. 

I am also upgrading the circuit from 15 Amps shared to a dedicated 20 Amp circuit. This is being done by an electrician while doing other upgrades including two 50 Amp lines for a kiln and a hot tub.

What alternatives would you recommend to a pair of Power Plant 12 units that will provide a minimum of 12 outlets?

My equipment includes: Pass XA25, LTA MicroZOTL Level 3 preamp, Aurender N20, Bricasti M1S2, Technics 1500, SPL Crossover, a pair of Acoustat 1+1 speakers and one Rythmic F12SE sub (the other sub is remote and receives its signal from an SVS Soundpath Transmitter). There are two signal generators supporting the Aurender.

Take a look at the Audioquest Niagra 5000.  It checks your boxes with 12 outlets and is a 20amp device.  FWIW I think that the Power Plants are 15amp devices.  If you're not sure, examine the plug outlet in the rear.  15amp has verticle plug tines and 20amp has horizontal.  Good luck.  

Thanks rick_n. The Power Plant 12 is a 15amp device. I am meeting with the electrician today to discuss. Do you use Niagra 5000?

 

I recently upgraded the power in my listening room to dedicated 20amp service and got the Niagara to make full use of the new amperage.  I'm very pleased with the results.  Pro move by you to run the new power lines. yes
