Who buy PS AUDIO ?


Please share your audio (gears) back ground and how long have you been an audiophile?
What or why do you like PS Audio products? What type of audience?
I’ve been watching Paul McGowan on Youtube, I just gotta to give this man so much credits on such valuable info he’s sharing with us audiophaniatics. I do love the guy to death.
I really want to support his business, I really do, but they aren’t cheap either (BHK-300)
Off you go, share your experience with PS AUDIO.

Had the S300, but was unsatisfied because its power output was woefully inadequate; consulted James Herod at PS, and he talked me into trading it in on a pair of M300s. So I did...better power, but still a disappointment overall, though I will say that the tonality of their amps is above average; probably their "gain cell’ at work. Would like to hear Bel Canto’s similar amps, which have garnered high praise ~ as I’ve said in other posts, I miss my custom-made Odyssey Stratos; not sure digital [or type D] amplifiers can ever generate enough "grunt" [amps] to achieve the slam of A/B amplification.
Love Paul’s approach, love that it’s US built, love the cost to value ratio, love the customer service...although it cools somewhat when you’re still not that impressed w/their solution, which is usually an upgrade w/in their line, as in my case.
But, and it’s a big BUT, it really does depend on your system and the synergy between parts, and w/the room ~ hardly an original observation, but I do want to concede that their gear may sound fantastic in some systems/rooms. And, to an even greater degree, the most important criterion may be the sound you’re looking for...or should I say, listening for? But like a few others who’ve posted above, I think I am done w/this company ~ my next amps will probably be the big heavy SS monsters that I was trying to be done with...oh well, we learn as we go, right?Hmmm, I hope that this doesn’t sound too negative, I do think PSA is a good outfit ~ their sonic approach is just not for me
As nice as their designer is in the videos, remember that when compared to other equipment in stores, the company did not do well, and switched to mail order only.  One might think that since high end audio prices are half dealer profit, either the price would go down or the quality would go up.  I have not heard that either is true.
I’m a fan of PS Audio.
I have the DSD DAC and M700 amps.
Listening to Qobuz actually sounds quite good with this setup!
Great customer service too.
I love their Stellar S300 power amp......oodles of grunt, great dynamics, wonderful timbres. The best amp I've had in my house, ever. The guys who work at PS Audio are really pleasant and personal to deal with.
Their trade-in program is excellent too. Huge fan.
Thanks to all of you who shared your experience with PS audio, this discussion has gone a long way to restoring my confidence in them. I have never owned any of their equipment but have been considering them among the other options for an upgrade path for my personal audio journey. However negative reviews, most memorably at audio science review, begin to make me wonder.
