Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why?

Thought I lucked out finding one on auction.  Turned out to be a very expensive doorstop.

I tried a PS20 in my system for 3 weeks ( brand new) from a friend who was moving her system so I “broke in “ for her. I didn’t  feel any “darker” nor “quieter” background as anticipated, but  I felt the sound stage (left/right) was slightly compressed and less airy.  
 I eventually tried an Audience aR6 T4 with my same set up ( from a friend who had the unit broken in for over 1000 hours) and I found no such compression but also no audible improvement. I think my electricity from mains is clean and stable so it’s not much of benefits in my case  

However I do hear significant difference if I swop my power cables (from stock to a $300 cable , and from a $300 to a $1500 Siltech or Transparent Ref) so I would recommend to invest in power cables before buying a conditioner / regen 

Alpha Labs just did a video on them and yes they do a lot of good things.

Whether they help in any particular situation of course is up to the owner to decide.

I have several of them and like what they bring to the experience. For me they are much better used on source components than large amplifiers but all of the PS audio gear runs good on the Power Plants as you would expect.

I have my source components on an older Powerplant and it effectively lowers the noise floor and it’s great for power management / system protection. On the other hand, NOT good, for amps & subs. It will restrict dynamics and shrink soundstage. I run those directly into the wall.

Need a higher quality revealing system for these things to be even noticeable. I’m troubled when people say they noticed differences when that’s really difficult.

Most peoples power systems are just fine.

Even when not in use this thing burns a lot of energy. I recall it being 50 to 100 W by merely plugging it into the wall which is obscene.

It takes up a hell of a lot of space. And it’s kind of ugly.

Much better way to spend your money in my opininion.
