PS Audio PP300 works great, but......


Seasons greetings. I hooked up my brand new PP300 last night. If I listen critically and technically, I can clearly state that it does EVERYTHING they say it does. Much blacker background, Much tighter bass, Much greater detail and instrument space. However, even though all of these things are done better than I ever imagined, I find the music to be less involving. Has anybody else had this experience? Will it get better with break-in? I don't want to give up all of these benefits, but I want my musicality back. FYI: Sonic Frontiers T3/P3, BAT VK5i, BAT VK500, Dynaudio Confidence 5.

Rcprince - Not only do I run my BAT VK-3i off my P300, I also run my DAC, transport, turntable, tube phono stage and RM200 amp off of it! I seriously doubt that the VK-5i draws more current than all of what I'm running. I would recommend you have PS Audio take a look at your unit (it may be out of adjustment). BTW, the P300 can be user-adjusted so that it can power more than 300W of equipment. Contact me if you'd like more info.
jcbtubes- I'm curious about your experience. I have a P300 and FIM gold IC's, SC's and PC's arriving soon. Thanx.mes
Metaphysics, I'd strongly recommend waiting for a few days before forming a opinion, there is a noticeable break-in period of 2-3 days and again ( to a lesser extent ) around a week later. D.Jay
D.jay is right. Meta, Post again after you have the unit broke-in. I would like very much your thoughts on the sound then. I do not mean to imply that you will feel any different about the sound.
Meta: Sometimes more musical is less detailed. The P-300 definately adds more detail & instrument space with a blacker background as you word it. If your not used to it it might seem etched & possibly fatiqueing. Some feel it thins things out which may be that bass tightening you mentioned. I personaly found the P-300 to make a substantial sonic improvement. You probably as I had no idea what a diffence it would make. It certainly does make things sound very different, something you are not used to. Less involving???...not for me. In fact quite the opposite. Give it more time & than take it out of your system. I think you'll find yourself putting back rather quickly. Than again, it's not for everyone. Only you know if it's for you. Best...Sagger
