I use both - an Audience aR2p-TO for my amp and a Haley for my source gear. I have no cons for either - they are both excellent devices. If someone put me up against the wall I *might* say the Audience provides a bit more of a sense of depth in the soundstage, but both provide a quieter, lower noise floor with no added "character" of their own. I wouldn't give up either one. YMMV.

IMO,the degree of improvement you'll get from any PLC will depend on the quality of the AC coming out your wall outlets. The better your AC, the less improvement you'll hear.

First thing I'd recommend is replacing your current
outlets with Furutech GTX-Ds. Depending on the type and condition of your current outlets, these receptacles can made a big improvement in the sound of your system.

Agree about Furutech GTC-D, one of the best outlets out there, they provider real audible improvement over others including maestro, porter port and oyaide R1.
