Need a power conditioner maven

[jimbones]

OK so I've been keeping my eyes peeled  for a power conditioner. The last one I had to return as it had 60hz hum. (Bad winding) I did see a nice BPT but at 80 lbs I couldn't help but imagining myself carrying it back to Fedex in case it needed to be returned. So, I have had good results demoing a P500 in my system. Overkill for what I need so I just bought a P300. Just enough juice for my low power equipment (Pre/Dac/TT/CD). I figure it is a low risk since I know the P500 sounds good in my system and it weights a lot less.

Ok so I am reviving this thread. I returned the P300 that I purchased. I have since purchased a PS Audio Powerplant premiere. It is capable of handling all the components including the power amp. I am still in the evaluation phase. It is not one of those pieces that can be easily A-B'd. So far it sounds as if there is more lower level detail coming through as the imaging seems better. Dynamics seem unaffected (not better/not worse). more to come.

   Jim stop wasteing your time and audiyion an Uberbuss, Digibuss and Bussstop for DC on AC. The most used power products by manufacturers at shows. There is a good reason why.

Jim, the PS AUDIO P300 is basically a power amp and should show some sonic improvement as its power supply caps break-in. It should have very little harmonic distortion of the 60Hz waveform. If it works out for you, you should have the AC noise problem licked.

I bought a PS Audio Power Plant Premiere. It is more current that the P300 and much more capable. It sounds very good in multiwave mode. I have not done an A/B compare with/without the PPP in the circuit.

At the insistence of rollo I just registered here and this looks like as good of a place to get my feet wet as any.

The PI Uberbuss

What is the technology used in Uberbuss?

At the insistence of rollo I just registered here and this looks like as good of a place to get my feet wet as any.

Th UberBUSS is a passive, parallel filtration device that is non-current limiting and uses no coiled inductors in its construction.  A simplified description is as follows:

Power inlet (IEC, Neutrik or hard wired)
The Brick - primary EMI/RFI filtration - a proprietary construct
Power Factor Correction - produces more available current under the curve - built from Type 'X' capacitors
FinalFilters - individual high frequency filters on each receptacle
Current throughput capability 40A

All of this is mounted in a non-magnetic, non-metallic enclosure.  I have found this to be very important to eliminate eddy currents that will color the SQ.

Standard receptacles are modified Pass & Seymour 5362A receptacles with no magnetic components and are cryogenically treated for lowest noise and conductivity.

I developed these units for use in recording studios after auditioning available units that frankly speaking didn't sound very good or dramatically blunted transients.

It is an easy solution that was hard to figure out.

Welcome, Brother Dave!!!

Just so that everyone knows, P.I. stands for "Politically Incorrect".

Dave will fit in perfect here at AN!!!

Cheers,

Dave!  Great to see you here!

Welcome to AN, Dave! I've heard a lot of good things about you and your products over the years.

Thanks, everyone.  It is good to find a new home. 

Since I left (was booted) from that "other place". I have been cruising the forums to find a fit.  Rollo has been after me for a while to land here.  Low and behold after a lot of lurkin in other places, this place makes sense.  Not in a numbers context, but quality.  I'll take quality over quantity every time.  After all: that is how I built my business.

I really appreciate the warm welcome and it is my intention to be a "quality" contributor here.  Listen if you will... slap me if I need it 

It's "only" audio, but that is what this is all about.

Hot damn, Dave!

It's nice to see you again. Pull up a seat, sit a spell.

Welcome, Dave

I moved Dave's 1st post from above to his own thread, so we can talk about him and his stuff more focused.
