Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why?

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.

I considered one and then realized: I have no evidence that my line is dirty. I don't hear a lot of issues but without a more precise technological tool to test my line, there are other ways to spend big $$s. 

In some situations, the Powerplant may be a godsend.

In other situations, the Powerplant may be an expensive solution looking for a problem.

Without a reliable way to know which one you have, there is a fair chance you can waste a bunch of money.

My close friend did not return it but sold it after couple of months he bought it used because he couldn’t hear any SQ upgrade from his system. It was PS Audio Power Plant P600.
