Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators?

I just read that PS Audio has introduced a new and more affordable power plant, the Stellar Power Plant 3.  https://www.psaudio.com/products/stellar-power-plant-3/.  I have been a long timer user of their various units,  going back to the Power Plant Premier, then a P5,  P10,  P15, and now a P20.  I was amazed at how much these bad boys improved my system and have been pushing them ever since to all my audio friends.  Going from the P10 to the newer generation P15 was eye opening to say the least.  Here is a link to my review of the  P15 https://forum.psaudio.com/t/my-review-of-the-new-p15-power-regenerator/6712.
If the big boy units are not within the budget,  then for sure try the new Stellar PP3. It can be used on all front end gear which is where they are most important. PS Audio  builds and services all their gear in Boulder and are known for having a great customer service department. I do not think a system is running at its full capability without using one of their units.  Try one.

PS:  If anyone is concerned that i am working for PS, let me assure you I am not. I have a small menswear retail clothing store in Greensboro NC.  www.thehubltd.com

hi,   for me at least the power capacity of the unit ceased to be a concern with the P10, but the change in sound quality going from it to the P15 was stunning.  Like getting a new amp. 

try this and then scroll down.   my name is Kent Tager and  you should se it as the second or third one.

thank you.   i consider it an underpinning of a really good system.  I have not tried any by the other companies, such as Audioquest and Shunyata,  but they are conditioners and not regenerators.

hi,   i am so pleased to hear about your fantastic results with the Stellar PP.   That is great news for those who do not need the larger capacity of the bigger units.  I will add that since i wrote my original review of the P15, i went ahead and got the P20 and sold the P15.  the P20 was certainly better than the P15 but not like the earlier upgrade.  I say it again,  and that is most audio systems are not performing at their full capacity without a PS PP of some kind.

Greetings,  I started this thread back in 2019 and wanted to chime in.   As I said then,   I have been a long time user of the various generations of the PS Power Plants.   Someday,  just for fun, I may try a Audioquest unit in my system,  but I cannot really imagine it doing a better job.  I would not want to be without the P20 and my friend Bob M. who has one as well, feels the same way,  It is the foundation for a great sounding system no matter what gear you own.
