PsAudio 300?

From everthing that I have read; this sounds like one piece of very exciting equipment. Anybody out there have experience with this baby? The feedback I got from my Ps Audio UO post is not motivating me to go that way, but this, if found used, may do it for me. Show me the light! Please, first hand experience only. Thanks

hey Whirshfield, I just bought one and am VERY pleased. Before using the PS300, I had purchased a pair of Transparent Reference speaker cables to run with my Marantz dv18, Monarchy M22C DAC, Pass x150, Paradigm Ref.60's. I was very disappointed when the sound was unbelievably bright and thought maybe the cables were just too revealing for my system. All that changed once I hooked up the PS300 (everything except the amp). The sound is wonderful - night and day. I do plan to try the high current UO with the amp. I read the posts on the UO and many suggested that the difference is not heard until it is removed from the system. With the PS300, keep in mind that you most likely will not be able to plug your amp into it. I have also heard that the Shuntyate Hydra is excellent. It's more expensive, but you can also plug your amp into it. Bottom line: I am happy with the PS300 for now. Good luck!

You should, of course, check the archives, as there are a lot of posts on this topic. I've had one a few years now, which I use for my digital gear without separate power supplies, and I'm very happy with it; blacker backgrounds, lower noise floor the principal benefits. It works best, in my experience, with equipment that does not have a highly sophisticated or regulated power supply (sort of acts as a big power supply for those items, like inexpensive CD and DVD players). One of the few high end products which I've found worth the price asked. I'm also a fan of the Multiwave option, although there are some who believe that the power port option (which I don't have) is more of an improvement than the Multiwave.

I've had mine for almost a year. Wouldn't be without it.

One of the best upgrades in my system! Even better with the MULTIWAVE. Don't go for the cooling fan, though - first: it is not necessary unless you run the unit close to its limits all the time, second: the fan makes noticable noise.
When you go back to feeding your equipment from the normal mains - which I did for experience - you notice the HUGE improvement the PowerPlant does for you.
Highly recommended!
Good luck!
