PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator)


PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review

This is interesting. The testing concludes that the filtering inside of the actual electronics device is what matters and that this PS Audio product actually adds its own noise. Some irony.

**** Conclusions
I hope you appreciate the comprehensive assessment that I presented to you above trying to tease out in every possible way what the P12 does. ****

 

Conclusions? Comprehensive?  Every possible way?  
 

Really?  Not one word, not one, in this “review” about what the “reviewer” actually heard. Haven’t we learned anything yet?

A friend of mine sold his expensive PS Audio regenerator after auditioning the Puritan Audio system (PSM136, RouteMaster, GroundMaster-City) with his stereo.

From the beginning of these units being manufactured, they have changed. I have owned 3 different models and wouldn't recommend 2 of them to anybody. Funny as it seems their first unit the P300 was the best by far of the bunch. With the beginning of these units, AC output was balanced. It made good sense, but not for every unit out there. After the initial line was replaced with new units, the balanced idea went out the window. 

 Next week, I will be taking ownership of a P300 which was upgraded by an audio engineer who made a few changes, and of course, changed every electrolytic capacitor in the unit. Seems like he was using different output transistors too, but I don't recall.

 I am a real fan of the P300, but not of the P500 nor the PPP. Nothing but trouble. FWIW, I read about a LOT of trouble with some of the newer models as well.

Not one word, not one, in this “review” about what the “reviewer” actually heard

Nothing to hear it's 60hz AC power. 

(Unless of course, ASR wants to accept the standing offer from @ted_denney . Then maybe we can discuss ASR’s credibility.)

This is a joke, right?
