I have a good friend who has a P-300 connected to his front end stuff.Pre/phonostage,CD,and Turntable.He had a UPC-200 on his Rowland 8t,and had gone through a good amount of other devices before settling on this combo.My "other group" of audio pals are from the "old" school,with bad Tice experience,and will never admit to the superiority of today's best "conditioners/regenerators"(call them what you will).
That being said,after I connected my EP-15a/Ultrapure combo,to my entire system,he wanted a similar result,without selling his P-300,which he likes.The EXACT POWER stuff is amazing(I had a P-500 which failed,as did it's replacement,sadly)!So,we decided he should keep the very reliable P-300 and add balanced A/C for the amp.Getting rid of the UPC-200,band aid,as it turned out,and adding a Balanced Power Technology "maxxed out" model TWO(not the 20 amp 3.5 as the designer felt all he needed for the Rowland was this unit.He wound up paying about 1300 dollars for it.
Well,the results were STUNNING.There was no way one could rationalize this approach as anything but far superior,to what he had before.
Of course the "old world" friends of ours STILL won't give credit to this,stating the difference is to be contributed to other factors,having been done.Quite humorous,actually,and my pal is "peeved" at some of the naysayer guys in our circle.They just refuse to give him the "thumbs up"!Their loss,as far as I am concerned.It was SO obvious from the get-go.
BTW,my EP-15a never puts out more than 465 wps powering my system.I could not be happier!
Best to all!
