PS Audio Power Plant Premier Power Cables

I am skimping on the cable from the wall to the PPP on the ground that if the PPP regenerates the power anyway, why would you need a expensive cable for AC coming in? You could test this theory by switching your AC-12 with the cable between souce component and PPP. Things should get better.

coming out of the PPP, I use AC-12s thoughout (preamp, player and DAC) with stellar results. To be honest I always considered expensive cabling a waste of money until I discovered the AC-12s.

According to PS Audio the cable leading to the PPP is an important part of its performance and they recommend using a better one than the one supplied. I have seen reviews like the one in HIFICRITIC make the same point. I have the Quintet and use the previous generation Statement SC, which is 6 gauge if I remember correctly. Edorr, I would try using one of your better cables on the PPP and see what you find.

I may (reluctantly) give it a try. I have one AC-12 between my PPP and universal player (used for MCH only), one between PPP and PWD/Bridge, and one between PPP and preamp, so I could very easily swap the AC-12 of one of my source components with the outlet to PPP cord to test the hypothesis. My sceptism has been proven occasionally misguided and sometimes justified. We'll see.

Edorr,

Did you try the swap? How did it go?

Thanks for reminding me. Have not gotten around to it yet. Too busy playing around with my new transparent audio ICs and speaker cables. Will give it a try soon.
