PS Audio Power Plant Premier vs RGPC

I have had my PPP for a couple of months now. I enjoy it immensely, however I plug my 501's directly into individual 20 amp circuits. My dealer said the PPP doesn't have enough "juice" for my c2300, MCD 500, LCD tv, Sat receiver, and Blu-ray player and above all two 501s'. What are your thoughts?

Multiple PPP's :yes:
 
OK folks, I thought I would add to Serge's wonderful review!

If you didn't think I was crazy before, I will now remove all doubt.

I use 2 RGPC 1200's on each & every one of my Amps, one in series & one in parallel.

As for every other source & processor I go thru the following units in this order:

1) McIntosh MPC1500

2) PS Audio Powerpack 1500

3) PS Audio Power Plant Premier

The PS Audio Powerpack 1500 is a brand new device from PS Audio, it is in essence an audiophile grade UPS.

This configuration has yielded the absolute best possible audio reproduction from my System.

Yes, I have tried every other conceivable combination. This is my "Magic" recipe.

Crazy? No, that's dedication my friend. :yes:

PS 1500? :scratch2: So no brownout or even a full power outage can interrupt the music! :thmbsp:

Absolutely, they stack nicely, look awesome & perform flawlessly. :yes:
 
Good writeup. 'Blacker blacks' and 'increased resolution & detail' are some of the characteristics I noticed. Now, I can't give all the credit to PPP, because I made multiple upgrades at the same time (PPP, PC's, IC's, Speaker cables).

I have seen the video you mentioned, and seen 'before & after' O-scope displays (I've posted them on AK in the past) related to the PPP. I didn't need to give the PPP a listen before I bought it. I knew what I was getting. :thmbsp:
 
Thanks Serge for your review...

I do have a PS Audio Quintessence with the super nano crystaline filter which has done wonders for my system.
THD readouts can vary from 2.5% up to 8.0% (depending on snowbirds more demands on the power lines) but more often than not range 3.5% to 4.8% and I know the only Power Plant Premier can correct this.
You have done what I was hoping to read somewhere...and that is what
improvements if any would the PPP add to a system with allready good line
conditioners.
Perhaps as your PPP burns in your soundstage may mellow some without
losing any sense of dynamics..please keep us posted. BTW about how many hours run time do you have on your PPP ?

Best wishes
