PS Audio: Power Plant Premier. How much ....


Anyone have any experience with maxing out a power plant premier? I run two pass labs amps at 300 each and a solid state phono at about 50 for 650 continuous. The fan doesn't turn on but I have to wonder if I would get better dynamics with two. I have gone straight to the wall and the dynamics are sharper, but I miss the blacker background and the detail that comes with it. Don't want to buy another just to find out. thanks

I own a PS Audio PPP. Along with a PS Audio P600, AND a Furman REG20i.
I am a big believer in both conditioners, and not stressing them to much.
If you want the maximum from them they should not be maxed out with a heavy load.
Both my PS Audio products are just warm to the touch with the loads I have on them.
If you have two identical amps? on the PPP? or two Pass Labs products (not amps?
((I just cannot see those giant Pass Amps on a PPP?))
Anyway, I like my variety of conditioners a lot.
My amplifier, a Bryston 4B-SST2 is on a Furman REF20i. I bought used here on the goN' for $1,400.
It is easy to dis' a product of the year... harder to actually come up with something better in reality.
My two cents on the 'sell it while you can' comment.
It is true different power conditioners work for different folks. but dumping on the PPP is just not a realistic pose.
When I had my entire system into a PPP, it ran hot with the fan running continuously. After buying a PS Audio Duet into which I plugged my amp., the PPP cooled down, the distortion output dropped and the sound soared.

sm2727 I'm surprised that you are able to run all of that gear into one PPP. With the new PS conditioner gear out, some PPPs should be available at reasonable cost. Perhaps put amps on one PPP and the rest of the system on the other?
SM2727,

I had ran my X250.5 through a V-Ray V2 with excellent results. I now run it through the new Triton with even better results.
