Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
Once the FR30 hits the used market its true value will be established. Until then it's going to be a lot of hype about how high demand is.   
An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
These two (Darren & Duncan) have a massive conflict of interest the size of a Boulder ;-)  Might as well have had Paul McGowan with them.   
PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator)
It tells much more than some random flowery prose about lifted veils and darker blacks. But my wife heard it from the other room!!

Here is part 2 of the testing.   PS Audio P12 Review Part 2: Power Testing And here is copy and paste of Amir's conclusion.  Conclusions It is clear from the above tests that using the P12 degrades available power to an amplifier, not increase ... 
PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator)
PS Audio wasn’t given an opportunity to respond. I agree with this point. I have reached out to Paul McGowan so if he wasn't aware of PowerPlant 12 being measured and the resulting discussions on audio forums, he is now.

Next best exponential DAC quality level?
the relentlessness and a lack of resolution indicates that your are missing something. What is he missing? Is it something metaphysical? Only explained by philosophy perhaps? I am referring to DACs of course...converting digital to analog....n... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
It is partly a question of understanding how sensitive the ear is to odd harmonics and dealing with that as a point in emphasis. This is Ralph from Atmosphere’s philosophy. I definitely think it holds water with power amps….but is IMD really mu...
