PS Audio Multiwave

I haven't gotten a multiwave yet, but here's what I hear about multiwave and heat. It does indeed make the powerplant run hotter (especially the 300, not so much the 600). The multiwave option also allows you to adjust the output voltage. According to Paul McGowan, the most RMS meters will underestimate the voltage of the multiwave. So if the meter reads 115V, it's really about 118-9V (I can't remember the exact numbers -- find it on one of the various PS audio forums). You can mitigate the heat problems by lowering the output voltage.

I run two PS Audio 300's. The one for my digital equipment is consistantly at 270 watts according to the display. The other for my analog varies but max's at 260. I have never had them cut out. My highest reading has been 280.

Lihifiguy: It's not a matter of having respect for PS Audio's R&D. I just don't like being hosed. Futhermore, if you new anything about manufacturing you would realize to create a new so called P-3000 would be very expensive to tool up (not to mention obsoleting a product after it's been on the market only about a year would really turn off their customers who bought it). In addition, it's much more profitable to charge a big # on an upgrade ie: no or very little tooling/expense involved. I must say yours & a few others comments makes me wonder if you people are affiliated with PS Audio.

Why bother posting all the fuss here. If you've got questions or comments, talk directly to the man that makes the machine. Paul would be glad to answer any of your questions or respond to any of your comments. Cut and paste the web address below into your browser and have at it.

Sean: I post all this fuss as you call it because that's what these threads are suppose to be about. In other words a freedom to express your opinion in reference to the topic, which is what I've done. If you don't like my opinion, your free to express yours. It is my belief that manufacturers & dealers should not be allowed to participate in these threads unless they are specifically address to, simply because their statements are completely bias towards their products. As an audiophile for a # of years, I learned very early on you that you get the real poop from the users who have experienced the products in their homes, not the dealers or manufactures or reveiwers. Sorry Sean, but I will continue to post my so called fuss.
