Life of a PS Audio PowerPlant??


Any idea about the life of a line power conditioner? I am talking about the PS Audio PowerPlant 300 Multiwawe I that came out to the market in 2000. Would it be wise to buy a unit this old? Do this kind of devises loose some of their capabilities? Any comments out there. Thanks in advance for your help!

I had an older P300 that had no issues other than the blue logo light burning out. I did overload it a couple of times (accidentally) by plugging a TV into it (plasma was way too big a load for it) but I was able to reset the unit and it was not damaged. I eventually sold it to get one of the first Power Plant Premiers. That thing was broken out of the box--it clicked and would not operate--so PS Audio sent me a brand new replacement, which developed the same problem after about 2 months. Perhaps these were the made in China models, it was a few years ago. I have not tried a Power Plant again, but just this week bought a Perfect Wave DACII, Transport and Bridge so I hope the quality control is back at PS Audio.
My 300 had a fan. I took it apart to clean the crap out of it and it ran cooler.
Follow up to this old thread. I bought my Power Plant 300 twenty years ago (pre multi wave) and it’s still running strong. Only issue is the blue logo bulb burns out frequently - wish there was a fix for it. Otherwise, it has been a solid unit.
That's great to hear, Mike.

My PPP has seen daily use for a decade now, with no issues whatsoever.
