PS Audio Power Plant 15........


Just got a PS Audio Power Plant 15 that I bought as demo from a dealer. The idea was to upgrade from Audioquest Niagara 1200. 
As soon as I hooked it up to my system ( Auralic Altair G1, Pass Labs Int-60, Audio Note J-Spe Speakers) I was robed of my beautiful midrange and the soundstage that was open and 3D holographic became 2D and receded to the back of the front wall. 
Did several a/b tests and it became ever so clear.
What could be going on? Obviously, changing from a 1K unit to a 7K unit one expect an improvement.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

For those who suggest a "settle in" period, thanks -- that's good to know. I've heard that with other things like cables, interconnects, etc. It's not clear to me where those elements are "burning in" or "settling" (as the lingo goes) vs. the other factor -- our ears getting used to a new setup. Indeed, it seems nigh impossible to disambiguate which is "us" and which is "the gear."

In a way, that's a problem, because we don't want to pay big $$ to get used to something that isn't really changing.

On the other hand, if the final experience is better, who cares? Better is better. (Of course, we're left with a question....)
