PS audio power condtioners....fan noise?

I am considering a power conditioner. PS Audio seems fairly high on most people's list. I dont live near a dealer to check this out for my self. I have read various articles and posts about their conditioners... reading between the lines, it seems that have a fan and it produces noice (makes sense if they do have a fan)....anyway, I have a cpu in my listening room that is about 10 feet away from my critical listening position. The fan is VERY audible to me. When I am doing serious listening I have to power it down.

Any input from the esteemed gallery would be greatly appreciated.

Purchased two P500's this year. One had a noisy fan, but PS Audio replaced the fan in its repair facility at no cost to me. Now both units are quiet. The units are rated 300 watts continuous and 500 watts peak power. Since mine run circa 230 watts continuous, the fan doesn't run all the time. In other words, fan noise should not be a problem in a properly operating P500 that's not overworked.

Kyneo,

I own a PS Audio Powerplant P1000 and it makes no noise at all. Which Powerplant do you need? Which devices are you planning to connect to the device? Have a look at the ps audio's website, where you can get advice about the type of powerplant you will be needing. As far as I know, there is no fan in the latest models.

regards,
