I have not used exact power products but I did have a PS Aduio 500 unit for several months in my system. For me at low volume and soft piano playing the unit was audible and for that reason I switched out. I am now using a SOund Applications X-12, which is very much to my liking. Not sure how loud or what you listen to but soft piano heard at low volume can be covered by the fan of the PS 500.
Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500
I currently use a PS-Audio P300 and it's a huge asset to my system. Due to its inefficiency and heat I thought I'd try to live without it.... I can't. Everything in my system benefits from the P300, even my Panasonic plasma, which is not plugged into the unit. However, my DIRECTV sat receiver is... and the P300 improves both picture and sound.
But... there's still the heat and inefficiency thing!
I'm thinking of replacing it with the P500, or trying the Exactpower unit, which I could plug everything into. That in itself seems like a huge benefit.
What are your thoughts? Will I miss what the P300 is doing for my system? Any input is much appreciated!
