PS AUDIO PREMIER

Years ago, I owned a PS Audio premier power regenerator. I enjoyed having it, but had to send it back because it was reacting to some kind of problem with the incoming power line. Sometimes at night I would hear it click as if it was adjusting to something on the AC line. Thing is, it was turned off. PS Audio sent it back after making a new grounding scheme for it. It was no use,same trouble. I sold the unit and went a different direction. So, my question is, has anyone else had issues with this unit? I am tempted to buy one again hoping for a better result< since they are going for 'cheap' nowadays.

This thing gets quite a bad informal press. I was thinking in the past of getting one but no thank you. APS Purepower seems to be a regenerator to go for.
It's China again, but it's not Chinese fault really.

I've had a PPP for over a year, feeding power to my entire system, with no clicks or other problems. The positive difference it's made for my system has been huge. Lucky so far... I'll knock on wood.

I bought a new "B" stock unit, as my P 300 bit the dust, and had two in a row that clicked constantly. Finally, the third one has been behaving itself now for several months, but it was pretty discouraging for a while. PSA was great about it, though.

Enjoy,

Same issue with me. Bought a PPP directly from PS when it came out. Nothing but problems (clicking, rebooting, fans going crazy). Sent it back to PS. Second unit was no different 3 months of use. Sent it back. 3rd unit arrived but developed other issues along the way. Had to send it back for a few upgrades they put in it. I did not have anymore issues after that but ended up selling this unit.
I am no longer using power conditioning/regenerating but i have 20amp dedicated power lines with Oyaide outlets.

There are more (or as many) power conditioner types, models, brand out there than amp manufacturers. Want to know which are good, better and best. Ask and you will get 50 different answers. Enough to give you a massive headache.
Good luck in your search.
