Upgrade my power conditioner?


Hi Audiogon Nation,

I'm presently running with a Shunyata Hydra Talos in my system with a Shunyata Zitron Alpha HC power cable connecting it to a Shunyata ZR1 outlet.  

I've heard that the Shunyata Denali 6000S is a great piece and would be an upgrade to the Talos.  Not sure I am looking to fix anything.  This is more of a curiosity.  

While considering the Denali, I'm also looking at a PS Audio DirectStream P12.  The P12 is a different animal.  I can get one for less ($$$) than the Denali by about $500.

Any body try out one or both of these?  

Thoughts on sound?  

Thanks and kind regards,
Jason

Many thanks Hifiman5. Good feedback. You can probably clear something up for me about the PS units. My listening room goes unused for multiple days sometimes and my concern is running up a big electrical bill. Does the PS P5 churn full throttle when all your components are in standby?  Does it sense when everything is on standby and then puts itself into standby?

I am not sure what multiwave is, but will look it up. Thanks for that tip. 

I think my power needs are not that great and the P12 will be plenty. I have a Luxman 590axii integrated amp with 30W into 8 ohms, 60W into 4. Two powered Martin Logan ESLs, PS Audio DirectStream Junior DAC, Esoteric CD player and VPI turntable. 
So I think 1200W of power from the P12 is plenty.

thanks,
Jason
You might consider phoning PS Audio and ask them some of your technocial questions.
Thanks Iak!  I have called PS Audio before to discuss DACs and I was not impressed with the engineers lack of deep knowledge about the pieces and networking.  Maybe I was not speaking to the correct person.  
Jasonsim, at that point in time I'd request to talk to Paul himself or have him phone you back.
Thanks Iak.  I called PS Audio today and got my questions answered.  They said leaving the P12 unit on all the time in idle, would draw something like 30W.  If you put it into standby, it's more like <1W. 

They also said that the fans are whisper quiet and should only run in less than 10% of usage applications.  

The P12 unit can also provide the necessary current during dynamic transients.  And cleans up noise.  

I was also told that the THD was do low that you cannot hear the hiss when turning your preamp / amp to high volume listening levels.
