Well I've always been interested in the PS Audio Power Plants and see there are some PS 600's up for sale on the Gon.

I'm looking for something that is going to protect my products but also clean up any noise on my lines coming in seeing I live in an apartment and just want some good clean power.

My budget is going to be around 1K. I looked into some Richard Gary stuff but everything is 20 amp and I can't run a dedicated line for that, only can do 15 amp.

I only plan on using this for my BAT VK31 pre, my TT, the phono pre amp and my CDP and possibly a DAC down the road.

What else is out there I should consider around the 1K mark? The 600's are going for around 800-1K depending on condition.

I plan on upgrading my amp in the future but that will all be plugged right into the wall directly.

Thanks!

    Be careful of some the older PS Audio power plants. My brother has one and it was in for repair a couple times. Cost him some serious $$$ compared to what he paid for it used. The logic chip went out and he had all sorts of problems powering it up. Since the last repair it has worked well, but I'm not sure how much he actually listens to his main rig these days.

    P.s. He has a P500 regenerator.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    Do you strictly want a PS Audio unit or wanting other suggestions around that bill?
