Power conditioner help


Hi All,

 Posting this here since there is no section devoted to power products. I also posted it in the miscellaneous section. 

If you had a choice between PS Audio P10 power plant and a Transparent Powerisolator Reference, which would you choose and why? Both available at reasonable prices, though P10 is still quite a bit more. I have a pretty high end system with a Musical Fidelity NuVista 800 integrated amp, NuVista CD (the new one), Scoutmaster turntable, SDS/ADS, Herron VTPH2, Wilson Sashas, and all Transparent Ref MM2 cables. System sounds great, but my present Powerbank 8 is quite old now, so I want to upgrade it.

Thanks for your opinions.

You can Google this, Or you may call Ralph at Atma-Sphere and ask him to send you a pictures of the unit he has.

alternatively email me i will send you one.

Their is one being sold on Ebay few weeks back for 5000 dollars but that's not guaranteed to work and its not tested or refurbished.

Untested Beaten up units could sell for far less, but i guess if you decided to get them refurbished your self it would end up costing a lot more.

Frankly speaking you either use a industrial type of unit such as a Elgar or just forget about getting a power condition as these so called high end audio power conditioner will never cut it.



I would not use a Transparent conditioner, given my dealer has one. I don't hear the great crescendos that live music presents, and I've had their Ultra speaker cable (from 1994), then their Reference speaker cable ('96) them the MM1 2004 and MM2 (2008). Transparent's sound seems a little 'quiet' on transients.
I have had several of PS Audio's power regenerators: P300, P600 and the newer line of generators that came out in 2009. also an Audience aR2p, and then the Audience 6 outlet Teflon model. I also have Shunyata's PS8, along with a P300 now. I can only say that, hooked up to a 100,000+ system, the overall sound is good, but not quite $100k good. I loaned my dealer Stillpoints, which I put under the Transparent conditioner, and he looked at me wildly (once we hit "play" on the ARC CD player, hooked up to the ARC $14,000 preamp, Alexia speakers and the ARC 75 watt amp) and said, "you are NOT getting those things back....what ARE they??? I told him they were Stillpoints Ultra Mini Risers. 
I think the PS Audio brings music to live more, but that could just be my dealer's imperfect setup.
