Pwr Cord Upgrade for PS Audio Pwr Plant Premiere?


I would like to pose a question regarding the need for any type of power cord upgrade for a PS Audio Power Plant Premiere (PPP) power regenerator. If I understand its workings properly, the PPP will take “dirty” line current and, through its electronics, regenerate it into a consistent source of new “clean” AC power. It is not coloring or conditioning the existing power feed in the classical sense. It this is true, what benefit would an upgraded power cord provide? If “dirty” AC is being regenerated into “clean” AC, does it matter, within reason, how “dirty” the power is to begin with? So, back to my question….would an upgrade of the power cord for a PPP provide any benefit at all and, if so, why?

Jerry,

You know how silly Jdoris' reply sounds? But as silly and expensive it would be, think about this, it is logical and it would help.

In fact, that's exactly what Nordost is now saying about their QX4 modules. They're saying that the more you add, the better it will sound.

While it probably does do what they claim, think about how much it would cost to keep adding additional QX4 modules at $2,500.00 each list price.

A power cord will help of course too, and it's a cheaper alternative.

I recommend calling John Pharo at The Cable Company and talking to him about one. Then maybe try a Silent Source power cord and some others from their library and see for yourself.
