PS Audio P15 power conditioner vs Accuphase PS 520/530?

The P15 is a regenerator not a conditioner.  Huge difference.

 I have a P15 and love it. Massive impact on my system . 

I had an original PS Audio Premier Power Plant. I suspect their new PLCs to be much better, however...

See Core Power Technology. I have their 300 powering  my TV and an 1800 in my main audio rig. Soon I will get their Deep Core to compliment the 1800

Thanks doitwithlife. I've been quite impressed with reviews of the P15. I figured that I'd investigate the Accuphase because I have their integrated amp.  But you're right, a regenerator is a different beast than a conditioner.  Seems to me that a reconditioner would generally be a cleaner option.Thanks.

tweak 1- I will look into Core Power Technology also. Thanks.

The Accuphase looks like an implementation of the Pure Power idea, one I first saw from the guy who makes Jensen audio transformers.


It's very neat and very efficient.


It tracks the incoming waveform and actively corrects it. As a result, it is high current, and high efficiency, without resorting to an AC--> DC --> AC reconstruction process like PS Audio uses.


I can't tell you how it sounds, but if it has the Accuphase label on it in the US I'm sure it's expensive as hell. :)


I'm not sure if PurePower is still selling or not, but if you are interested in that technology they are worth looking up.
