ADD-POWR Wizard/Sorcer vs Puritan Audio Labs PSM136/156


I was fortunate to get a used Wizard at a great price recently and like the low noise floor that I’m experiencing with my system. I pretty much stream my music via Qobuz and Tidal and have both solid state and tube amps I like to use. I had no issues I was trying to get rid of when acquiring the Wizard so it’s just for pure audio enjoyment I ask this question about the two company’s mentioned.

Has anybody had the chance to experience both the ADD-POWR Wizard or Sorcer and the Puritan PSM136 or 156 in their system and was there a significant difference? Price wise the Wizard at msrp is at around the 156 with the 136 being several hundred below and the Sorcer at msrp is about twice the price of the 156. Just curious to see if anybody has any thoughts on the two and what similarities or differences there might be.

The sorcer is not a conditioner, the Puritan is a conditioner.  Very different products.
Depends on what you're looking for with the sound.  I tried Add-Powr Sorcer and didn't like the effect it had.  Expanded the stage but had a blurring effect at the same time.  Took it out and the clarity returned.  At least in my system.
