No longer use my P1000 and would like to hear what ya’ll think on which way to approach selling it…
The unit works perfectly on all MultiWave outlets but, it has started to blow the fuse on my filtered outlet. That’s the one outlet on the lower left on the rear panel.
Here’s my quagmire, sell it as it sits or have PS Audio do the repair and sell it as a perfect working piece?
I have the original shipping container along with the original manual.
Leave it as is and sell with disclosure and low price or have it repaired and sell for much more?
Another thing to consider is I’m driving distance, 1-1/2 hours, from PS Audio’s headquarters and wouldn’t have to worry about shipping costs.

Maybe get a repair estimate from PS and use that to discount the asking price if you sell it?

I'd take it in to PS Audio to see if they can still fix it. Mine eventually started leaking a small amount of oily stuff out of the bottom of it so I had a junk hauler take it away with a bunch of other stuff.
I wouldn't trust selling it to someone without repairs because it could take out other equipment that the buyer owns if something goes wrong with its AC regeneration. Mine blew a couple fuses in a CD player and preamp before I could tell it was acting up. -
Before creating this post I sent PS Audio a contact on repair.
I’ll see what they respond…
Thanks mhardy. -
Thank you Emlyn, great point.
I would hate to do that to anyone. -
Sorry to hear that….
PS Audio couldn’t repair it?
Which Power Plant did you have that issue with?
What a shame as they aren’t cheap pieces by any comparison.
The P1000 was $3500. -
I had a P1000 that I got direct from PS Audio as a demo model. It gave me something like 20 years of continuous use so no complaints really. I think I paid something like $1200 for it.
Would have been more to ship it back and forth from the East coast than it would have been worth. It was also really overkill for what I needed eventually. PS Audio sent it with a pair of "armored" gloves because of the sharp heatsink fins.
-
Oh man those heat sinks will lay you open. Must use gloves with these 100 pound monsters.
Just picked up my P1000 at PS Audio.
They replaced the input board and gave her a complete going over.
Gonna take out the “temp” Monster 3500 and put her back in the system and give it a workout….
Agree on the shipping.
Good thing I live 2 hours from Boulder. I’d guess at least $100 to ship nowadays. -
A little under the hood **** for you freaks….
Got out the hand truck and got her moved into the living/audio room.
Need to find a spot for this beast.
The one thing that gives me piece of mind is this unit makes a hell of surge suppressor.
-
Now off to find my PS Audio Statement power cord to hook her up.
