@bazza You said: " You should remember that sinewave is the only safe mode for tube equipment ". Upon what is your statement based?

Tubes work best on pure DC!! the electrons and such know their valance bands and holes to jump or get pushed into amplifying fronm the filiment source. LOL. AC is just a more convient source of power in the home now. Ok OK the motors may need 60hz Synch but nowadays most all run DC PWM anyway. the physist in me had to let loose on you. sorry. |
The howl it made trying to handle a plasma TV drove me crazy especially considering that the PS Audio tech staff said there was nothing wrong with it.
switching power supplies dont like driving other swithcing PS cause the load changes inductance and capacitance so much depending on the varing Load. they like constant impeadances like a load resistor across the output.. like driving difficult computer systems. well known in the Server world look at the huge inductors on the main feedsw to smooth out the ride. |
I have used PS Audio Products since the 1980's so, yes, I drank the koolaid. That said it is a wonderful company. I currently own the P-10, a P-5 and a P-3. Like others my P-10 runs everything on my system except the subs. The sound is cleaner, blacker and more detailed. One benefit of power gen that is not often mentioned is the significant improvement to the picture quality to my big screen TV. PS Audio recently upgraded all their models, so you might find a good deal on a used P-10 or P-5. If you want a good deal on a new model visit https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/ps-audio.

Holy cow!!! that things expensive.... You guys got too much free $$$$. a pure sinewave UPS with an external THD and scope digital analyzer and protection from loss of power is like 1/2 that cost. the many utility transformers and line losses are irrelevent to your final load after the UPS also with better than 1 volt regulation. and you can run 5-7000 watts not only 2000. IM in the wrong business... LOL. If a digital bigscreen is improving from a line feed correction something else is wrong with your system. sorry. maybe if things were still analog you would have a excuse. I say do as you with its your money.. the intergrated scope and analyzer is calibrated to whos and what standards- NIST-MIl Std. with what traceability???? |
