Pass Labs INT-150 with Power Plant Premier

Thank you everyone for your input.

My wall power sucks...and it's a modern house. I need to see how much it would cost to get dedicated lines. Does Pass assume the wall power is always good? Regenerators seem like a good idea but they are SO damn expensive...I'm using a PS Audio power port ac outlet and my trusty Adcom ACE 515 and getting away with it so far.

The PS Audio re-generators seem to be fine, especially with the multi-wave setting options. Cannot say for a fact that the multi-wave is better, but it is different in a pleasant way. Long story short the PS Audio products do not seem to bring anything ill to the table.

Some back ground: The power amps have for many years been built with tuned noise rejection circuits ahead of the transformers in anticipation of legislation that deals with noise on power lines.

These tuned circuits frequently do not benefit from added reactance that many passive aftermarket noise canceling products provide. The do no physical harm, but in general do not serve the music.

It has proved most prudent to answer these questions on a one on one basis.

Interesting! I had a PPP and found it doesn't work with my tube monos rated @650Va per mono. Theortically it should work ... The PPP would heat up and fan screaming loud. Out of couriousity, I borrowed a 2nd PPP and plug each mono to a PPP and the same heating up / fan result.

I've had many PS Audio products and found PPP their best effort but there are superior alternatives in the market. In general, I found active PC alters the sound and the sound sounds processed. Finally settled on a passive unit with 2 dedicated 20 amp lines that restores the natural tone without any current limiting problems.

I bet your new Pass Labs amp sounds better plugged directly into the wall.
