Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators?

I just read that PS Audio has introduced a new and more affordable power plant, the Stellar Power Plant 3.  https://www.psaudio.com/products/stellar-power-plant-3/.  I have been a long timer user of their various units,  going back to the Power Plant Premier, then a P5,  P10,  P15, and now a P20.  I was amazed at how much these bad boys improved my system and have been pushing them ever since to all my audio friends.  Going from the P10 to the newer generation P15 was eye opening to say the least.  Here is a link to my review of the  P15 https://forum.psaudio.com/t/my-review-of-the-new-p15-power-regenerator/6712.
If the big boy units are not within the budget,  then for sure try the new Stellar PP3. It can be used on all front end gear which is where they are most important. PS Audio  builds and services all their gear in Boulder and are known for having a great customer service department. I do not think a system is running at its full capability without using one of their units.  Try one.

PS:  If anyone is concerned that i am working for PS, let me assure you I am not. I have a small menswear retail clothing store in Greensboro NC.  www.thehubltd.com

hi,   for me at least the power capacity of the unit ceased to be a concern with the P10, but the change in sound quality going from it to the P15 was stunning.  Like getting a new amp. 

try this and then scroll down.   my name is Kent Tager and  you should se it as the second or third one.

@ronkent. Thanks for the link above.  I enjoyed reading your review.  You make a pretty compelling case for moving into one of the new regenerators.

thank you.   i consider it an underpinning of a really good system.  I have not tried any by the other companies, such as Audioquest and Shunyata,  but they are conditioners and not regenerators.

I own a PS Audio P-600 I bought used nine years ago. I wanted the feature of higher than 60Hz output. And use my P-600 at 110Hz AC output just for digital gear. Sadly, NO current PS Audio products can change the AC frequency. Only some of the earlier P-300 P-600 P-1000; P1200 with an optional board.  
The rest of my gear connects from a Furman REF20. Both the PS Audio P-600 and the Furman have had all duplex replaced by Furutech duplex.
