PS Audio Power Plant or Power Plant Premier


I recently bought a PS Audio Power Plant P1000. The high end stereo shop said the old model - US made is much better than the new China made "Power Plant Premier" for Audio.

Has anyone compared them for regular two channel audio?

My finding is that the unit only improved digital playback and not pre and power amplification.

Thanks

Considering the older unit guys .

Is it better to get the new one for 2 ch hi end system or PPP?

I like the size of the new one but that china work don't impress me old ones are US made?

thanks
1twekr, you have asked this question in many places already. Please read the above posts. Quite a few people already stated that the new PPP is better than the old stuff.

The PPP do not do balanced anymore, but so what? Balanced power is NOT the only game in town.

These products are all designed in the USA, and the electronic parts being used were chosen by PSA. What is the different it made whether they were assembled in the State or in China? Are you worried about the sound quality or build quality?

I have owned a few P500 which were made in the State and they all need service. I have two PPP and two Quintessence since day one and NONE of them have problem yet.

It seems that you are waiting for someone to say something that reinforce your thinking!!!
Haven't tried the big power plants, but FWIW, in my system the PS Audio Quintet only improved the digital very slightly, and was very detrimental to analog playback. Perhaps the power plants are different, but I would not recommend the Quintet.
If Quintet is not good for your analog system, then you can at most say Quintet is not good for analog system. You can't make a general statement like you would not recommend the Quintet.

I have all solid state system and the Duet, Quintet, Quintessence and PPP all make my system never sound this good before.
