Power Plant Premier making sound worse?

I have 2 new dedicated lines installed using Telsaplex outlets. I have 3 Kubala-sosna Emotion PCs feeding an Ayre V5Xe, Ayre K5xe and Ayre C7xe. They were all plugged into the PPP, a Lossless PC feeds the PPP from one of the dedicated lines. I noticed a buzzing sound that went away from the PPP so out of concern I shut off the PPP and fed all the Ayre stuff to the outlets directly (amp to one outlet, preamp and CD player to other) via all KS PCs. It sounds much better, more texture and detail. I am very surprised so I am not sure if there is an issue with the PPP or should I just get rid of it? Please comment

The PPP will put out 1500 watts contiunous and if the componenets draw more than that or close to it the PPP will shift to passing current directly from the wall or not produce the quality of sound it usually does, respectively.

I use mine with a dedicated 20 amp line for my front end components and a smaller HT amp and it sounds great. My main amp is too much for it and I use a Hyra for it.

There were several generations of the PPP with the latest souding the best and be identified with a 'F8' somewhere in the serial number. The prior generation of F7 isn't bad but the F8 production runs that began in August 2008 have the best parts in them.
