Pass Labs INT-150 with Power Plant Premier


I just upgraded to the Pass Labs INT-150, which recommends against using an active power conditioner. This amp is currently plugged directly to a wall outlet based on this recommendation.

My entire system in the past, including amps have ran through the PS Audio Power Plant Premier with more than satisfying results.

If anyone can help explain the issue recommending against active power conditioners, I would appreciate it. I have no level of expertise on this type of electrical issue.

Thanks

I use my PPP with a CJ 350; which draws more current than the Pass with no problems.
The concern would be the abiltiy of the power conditioner to keep up with the current demands of the ampllifer. Reduced current not a problem that's going to cause damage to your int amp so the question is what affect will it have on sound. That is a question that only you will be able to anwer by listening to your system with and without the power conditioner.
My wall power sucks...and it's a modern house. I need to see how much it would cost to get dedicated lines. Does Pass assume the wall power is always good? Regenerators seem like a good idea but they are SO damn expensive...I'm using a PS Audio power port ac outlet and my trusty Adcom ACE 515 and getting away with it so far.
This answer was received from Pass Labs........

The PS Audio re-generators seem to be fine, especially with the multi-wave setting options. Cannot say for a fact that the multi-wave is better, but it is different in a pleasant way. Long story short the PS Audio products do not seem to bring anything ill to the table.

Some back ground: The power amps have for many years been built with tuned noise rejection circuits ahead of the transformers in anticipation of legislation that deals with noise on power lines.

These tuned circuits frequently do not benefit from added reactance that many passive aftermarket noise canceling products provide. The do no physical harm, but in general do not serve the music.

It has proved most prudent to answer these questions on a one on one basis.
