Options besides the PS Audio Powerplants

Another alternative that you may want to entertain is waiting for Shunyata Research's "Hydra" power conditioner (supposed to retail around $2,000). If it's anything like their power cords, it's at least worth a listen. Like everything else in audio, won't be everyone's cup of tea, so audition before you buy.

I bought a PS P300 after reading all the great things people where saying about them. I thought it was great, and was very pleased, but the improvment it offers doesn't even come close to what The Powersnakes King Cobra did for my system. I still use my P300 as well as I think it still helps, but I got a lot more by upgrading my powercords to Shunyata power cords.

I think one should use the money to upgrade preamp, dac etc instead of having a so call 'powerplant'. Often such devices add colour to the music and it arrests the dynamic of the gear plug-in.

The responses definitely argue in favor of try before you buy. I do not use any power conditioning device... yet.

Research Audio tekne truly revolutionary.
