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.

I used to work in a high end speaker manufacturer's factory. The owner sold speakers through word of mouth, and people would drive and fly across Australia to audition equipment.

For some time, he had PS Audio in the factory listening room, along with an upgraded PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP (Duelund capacitor upgrade) , and earlier a pair of Macintosh MC 501's.
 
I've heard BHK250 (I liked it, though not the best I've heard) and it does work better with the BHK signature pre, as I've heard it with and without (no question you'd want both together). I have also heard the Stellar pre and amplifier, and for the money they are solid performers.

All of the above mentioned with sources plugged into a PS Audio P5, however the power amps were plugged into a very heavy power supply (unbranded that I could see).

You probably aught to have a listen before you buy, if you can?

[I will admit a year ago I purchased an amplifier based off specifications and a review, because the price was so good, and figured if it was horrible I aught to be able to recover my money. I got super lucky, and it is truly a great piece of technology, despite my general distrust of reviews.]
Build quality is middle of the road. Service is very attentive.
I bought a 2nd hand phono stage and noticed the input color codes
were backward. When I called they said that is how they should be.
I am still wondering about that call.
I bought full stack from them

PS DirectStream Dac

I am SUPER happy with these components.

For me - the sound is fantastic. The Value - is fantastic. Customer Service - is EXTREMELY PERFECT. 

So if the equipment fails - I am sure they will replace it for you. They are the company who loves their customers. 


Yes, Paul is a class act. IMO the Perfect Wave MKII DAC is one of the best bargains in the used market. It is PCM and most folks are enamored with DSD and their DirectStream which I am sure is outstanding. Their jitter reduction “digital lens” technology really works well. PCM is fine for me as I mostly use Qobuz. As a ribbon midrange speaker (Infinity, VMPS) fan, I have high hopes for their ribbon midrange speaker PS Audio is developing. Yes, a really great company.
I have been using PS Audio power plant P300 Multiwave, that's quite early model, since last 16 plus years. Never had any problems with it. I did open it 2-3 times to clean it from inside.  I am happy with the built quality.
