Who buy PS AUDIO ?

With the number of folks who frequent this site it is not surprising to find that some have had less than positive experiences with PS Audio products. 

What attracted me to PS A  was their idea of and dedication to the regeneration of electricity to feed our systems.  I bought into that concept because, if it could be done efficiently, it would put the vagaries of electric quality at bay and allow us to enjoy our systems at all hours of the day not just at night after many local businesses were off the grid for the night.  My best affirmation of this occurred at a stereo shop where when the business next door closed down, you could hear an immediate improvement to the sound.
PS A has come a  l o n g  way with regeneration.  My P600 improved my system's sound but ran very hot.  When the Premiere Power Plant was released I bought into the promise of improved efficiency and it delivered, but quality control was problematic with a high rate of regenerator failure.  Sure enough, mine failed as well.  Ugh.  But... all it took was a phone call and a new PPP was on its way.  That PPP lasted till the P5 became available.  The big change here was that Paul McGowan saw that the Chinese manufactured PPP was not receiving enough QC and thus failure rates were unacceptably high.
What to do?  Move manufacturing to Boulder, CO where the principals could ensure QC.  What happened to the prices of the new units?   They went up...a lot!  But the new generation units were like tanks!  Finally, Paul and Co. came up with what, in my opinion as one who experienced all of the generations of Power Plants,was the most musically significant innovation.  Creating the regenerated sine wave with DSD processing was a true game changer!  It is a huge sound quality improvement over the otherwise excellent P5.  My entire system runs off my P12 and it has never sounded better.
With all of these changes/upgrades, PS A allowed trade-ins for every step along the way!
Finally, Paul McGowan serves the entire audiophile/music loving community by sending out a new video about audio every day, answering a great variety of questions from audiophiles around the world.  His answers are straight forward and frank.  He does not abuse this time to shamelessly promote PS A products.

hifiman5, 
Has the P12 provided you with that late night magic all day?  Do you experience power related variations In sound quality any more?

Thanks.

hi Tomcy61,  my P20 may be the most important piece of gear in my setup. 

Just bought their M700's and a Stellar Gain DAC on their sale and it arrived two weeks ago.  I'm using Zu Dirty Weekend's and was hoping to get a "rocking" system but I have to say I do not have that right out of the box.  Loud and clear, yes but able to feel some punch...Not really.  

I'm relatively new to all this but regularly follow here and other sites.  I would not say I have discerning taste but appreciate this level of "clarity" with vocals and instrumentals.  

I feel like I am lacking a lot of bass/punch/hit though for what I have.  I also have a NAD M10 which was powering the Zu's and felt mediocre about that as well for the same reason of lack of bass and fullness.  

So Im on to try and figure out if I need a different speaker, sub, room treatments and so on.  

I chose PSA though bc they are out of Boulder and I too think Paul is a pretty straight guy with a good company, based on his videos.  I WANT to love both of these companies but I can't say I love what I have so far.  Granted it is each companies entry level gear but for around $5k of gear, I feel like I can do better and get much more of a wow factor.   Feel free to DM me with any quick advice for myself, Im happy to listen.    

Oh, I have to say I was really disappointed with the remote included with the PSA DAC.  Just flimsy plastic.  I would gladly have paid more for a solid piece of aluminum or better plastic if they offered it.    

@tomcy6   Yep.  That is, for me, the true value of the PS A regenerators...that I get stellar sound at all times of the day.  That's why they're worth the money.  Life is too short to be limited to a couple good hours of listening time late in the evening!
