PS Audio Ultimate outlet


Have thought about one to protect amp from surges but do not want to affect the sound. Anybody have one?

Hi Nomoney, I asked the same question 3 days ago and no one answered. I was just about to put in a Hubble outlet, but will wait and see if any of our members try it before going through with the outlet change. If that isn't an endorsement of the high quality of Audigon's posters, what is? The PS Audio power plants are excellent, so I hope their outlets are as equally as good. I have a few other things happening this month, and won't have time to try one.If no one else does, I will in a few weeks and post results here.
Bmpnyc, good to hear from you, we seem to have the same interest in a lot of gear! I am going to go ahead and order one of these and take my chances since there is a 30 day money back policy. Unfortunately I think they are back ordered untill mid March. Have a good weekend
I just got one. It's going back. Dark, dark, dark with my VTL-225's. It muddies up the sound, sucks out all harmonics, 12-hour break-in didn't help. Better pc didn't matter.
The P300 Power Plant is a definite improvement, the Ultimate Outlet isn't, especially for the price, and the fact that you need to use a premium cord instead of the wimpy AC pc that comes with it. Can't recommend it. Monster HTS2000 power conditioner strip is much better, only $130. Your system may yield a different result, but I'd tell tubed amp owners to forget it. I'm pretty disappointed, after waiting a month or so for it.
BTW, the Outlet's choke radiates a significant amount of EMI, which can't be good for your system. I heard a spitty edge on highs that sounds like an EMI artifact. Locate it far, far, away from components and ic's, unshielded pc's.
DO NOT sit it on top of PS-300.
I've got one on order, I'll let you know what I think when it comes in. Hope it's not the same reaction as Estmad.....
I hope Estmad's experience is one of those situations where break in should be 24 hours, but is more like 150 hours, otherwise it is a big let down, considering the description at PS Audio's website. Estmad, let us know if things get any better. I sure hope they do.
