Power Plant Premier making sound worse?

Ok here's my take. The Premier has been good for the sonics in some systems and not good for the sonics in others. I don't understand how it manages this. One would think it would be consistently good or bad. But it seems the system dependency thing rules supreme with the Premier. I saw that manufacturers were using it at CES '09 so they would not use it if it hurt their chances of putting on good show demonstrations. It must be good at times and bad at others. I had a Premier here for about 6 months or so. I tried, and tried, and tried, with all different manner of power cords. I tried it with my cdps only connected. Once I tried it briefly with my integrated (Blue Circle) connected. I quickly ended that setup. I moved pc's around in my setup. I tried high priced pc's (Purist Audio Dominus) and midrange cords (DCCA) and lower priced stuff (VH Audio, MAC) connected to the Premier. No matter what I did, I could not get my system to sound better with the Premier in the loop. I wanted it to work but it just didn't. I've been going straight to the wall with my gear the last 6 months with better results sonically. I've always thought that a mod to the Premier utilizing some of the better high end outlets out there(think oyaide, teslaplex, porter ports) etc. might work wonders with the Premier. Maybe it is the nickel plated outlets that contribute to the sonic degradation that I experienced, I don't really know. I like the upper mids and highs in my recordings to be clear, clean, and crisp. I love realistic, dynamic and natural sound, the kind of sound where you suspend your disbelief. Rolled off highs or veiled highs are not part of a high end system in my opinion. That's what I got with the Premier. I was eventually compelled to sell mine. Too bad;it's a great looking. But the sound of the music is where the rubber meets the road.

I have not heard the PPP but I did just purchase an Equitech 1.5 Q. I did not like the sound with the amps plugged into it - flat, uninvolving. I plugged the amps directly back into the wall outlet and was much happier. I did leave the preamp plugged into the Equitech because I like the idea that the preamp at least will be protected from spikes or surges, and the sound did not suffer - in fact the Equitech has improved the sound to my ears (slightly more separation, quieter background).

Foster9 - your response "Rolled off highs or veiled highs are not part of a high end system in my opinion. That's what I got with the Premier" is exactly what I experienced. I will try a little more experimenting as suggested (I just borrowed a 4th KC Emotion PC to plug from the wall to the PPP and see what that does also). Thanks to everyone - will keep everyone updated and I will call PS audio too. I want it to work too.

I don't think the PPP is any more system-dependent than other power conditioners. IME, they all are. The first rule of using power conditioners is to give yourself permission to not like what they do.

Solecky, on another forum I read about the Acrolink power cord with the Oyaide 004 connectors being great with PLC's. A well respected fellow with plenty of power cord and general cable experience espoused this opinion. If I still had the PPP I would definitely be trying out that cord next. Audioexcellenceaz is a dealer for these cords. (I have no affiliation by the way)- just been in the power cord jungle for a while now. PS Audio will push their top line cords. In my setup the Statement SC did not get it done. Never tried the top of the line cord however.
