initial impression . . . Game Changer; No Chit!


Next to the Cary pre upgrade (with good quality tubes), my system has not seen a significant improvement as this . . . Purchased close-by, briefly used (6 months), burned-in and local . . .Love local!

Instant improvement (as soon as I flipped the power On). Detail, clarity, separation even gain (I think) . . . Not sure if that's bc of crappy power supply in my area or what . . .

I'm guessing it'll add life to my tubes, too

I had Huge reservations about this purchase re: audible improvements, $$ expenditure and, how could SQ get any better. If there was ever a PS Audio program like "try it for 10 minutes at your home, in your system" see if it makes a diff . . . jump on it

Measurable differences by My ears

Nothing on my end can ever compare to DKs review of the P10, won't even try . . .pfftt

    Most do have huge reservations, especially when the coin starts getting up there, but like we keep saying....try it in your system with your ears and you be the judge.

    Experience brother, no replacement for that. Congrats on your new toy.

    I had reservations about buying a third P10 for my office rig, at it would have been the most expensive component in the system by far, and I wondered if the performance improvement would justify the expense. This in spite of experience with the P10 in two other rigs.

    However, from the first note I knew I had made the right decision.

    PS Audio offers a 30 day no-risk trial, they even pay shipping both ways. The drawback is you don't get the deep discounts that some dealers offer. Dealers that offer the deep discounts don't offer trial periods.

    Nice to hear. I can say the same about my smaller P5. I just did not have room for the P10.

    It's Ji-norm-us! . . . the size of a huge power amp.
    The pic shows it kinda dwarfing the Adcom 5802
    It's a heavy weight contender weighing-in at 73 lbs.

    I'm amazed that the thin glass all that copper sits on hasn't shattered . . , yet!
