I was doing some looking around and I really like the PS Audio Perfect Wave Powerplant 5. There is one up for sale right now on Agon for $2,750 with a new price of $3,500. I wanted to ask does anyone have an opinion of PS Audio's earlier stuff like the P-1000? It is huge and looks to weigh at least 75 lbs it has 10 outlets total and sold new for $4,000. They are asking $1,800 OBO for it. How does their older products compare with the newer stuff? Thanks, David |
Don't know anything about the P1000 but I have 3 P10's, two for my 2.2 system and one for the home theater. I am not far from Seattle either (Eastside) and power is poor in my area. I don't have dedicated circuits but am able to pull power from two different circuits. I am listening right now and looking at the P10 displays. One circuit has 6% THD in and .3% out of the P10, the other 4.7% in and .2% out. I have my entire system running through the P10's, Voltage out on both units is rock steady at 120.0V even though power in fluctuates between 115-119V. I couldn't imagine being without. They have dramatically improved my sound in every respect.. I went from being a clean power skeptic to a staunch believer. |
I did some looking around and found a "one owner" PS Audio P10 on Ebay for $3k. On Agon right now there is a "one owner" P5 that’s in great shape for $2,750 with a New price of $3,500. It is one of your regular AV businesses that puts ads up on Agon. It does have a "Make Offer" so I could try a lower price. The P10 is beautiful, but looking at my needs I think that the P5 would cover my bases pretty well. Actually if you compare the P10 with the P5 the front panels look the same. It is the number and type ie; High Current, etc outlets that make up the difference. The P1000, 600, and 300 were made some time ago as you can tell just by their shear size and weight. I do not know how well of a job they did but are definitely large and heavy. I will have to read some reviews on the P5 to see what I can expect from it. |
