PS Audio Power products...long

24.19.168.53

Posted by helpmemakeachoice on June 4, 2007 at 14:23:28

I am looking for the next best improvement to my modest system put together with modest means, therefore I would like some input from the cognoscenti as I cannot afford to make wrong choices..too much of that already.
My equipment; Prima Luna "Dialogue 2" tube ingrated w/phono card for MM, Rega P25 turntable with too many Rega tweaks that I wont list but never seemed to improve anything. An outboard Aragon phono stage for low output mc and high mm. Thats it...no cd, video, dacs etc.
The prima luna is listed as a 38 wpc, though under stats its power consumption is shown as 250 watts.
I recently installed a Oyaide SWO-XXX wall outlet (I think the XXX signifies is obscene price of 85$) Didnt notice too much of an improvement but didnt hurt.
I am interested in power cleaning, regenerating, filtering etc. I am mostly intrigued by PS Audio as they are innovators in this area.
Problem is that there are too many choices amongst their products.
I dont know if my power from the wall is dirty or not, but I suspect that since it is a new house, in a new subdivision with dedicated 15 amp outlets that it is fairly clean.
If I knew for a fact that I could throw a couple grand into a PS Audio product and it would produce awesome results you so often hear about I would do it. But, I suspect that the improvements will be subtle at best.
Soo......given all their products such as:
Power Plant Premier (2200$)
Quintessence power center (1200$)
Duet power center (295$)
UPC power directors (500$)
Ultimate outlet (299$)
Power plants such a p300, p500, etc Currently have to buy used for various prices on Ebay
If you have experience with any of these products or simply have some input that might help me make an informed choice please feel free.
Right now I am leaning towards the 295$ Duet as I dont have many sources, cannot use the multi wave functions for a synchronous turntable motor so that rules out the regenerators, or does it?
