Kenster...Off imediate topic but do you use stock pc with Plat.Power?

"Off imediate topic but do you use stock pc with Plat.Power?"
Yes I use the stock PC but have installed an Oyaide P-004 AC male plug on the end.
It is captive on the chassis end and I have toyed with upgrading the cord itself to maybe the CryoMax or one of the VH Audio DIY cords.
Cheers,

Kenster;;If I could continue to pester with "off topic" item; I too use the Plat Power un-altered and have pondered that captive cable..If a tweaker like you have left it intact guess I'll wait till I read/hear you've torn into it...Does your unit have a substantial hum? Have you not been swayed by the Shunyata stuff?? late
"Does your unit have a substantial hum?"
Yes but the hum is "normal" to all balanced power transformers. I have a CinePro Powerpro 10 balanced transformer in another system and it hums worse that the PP-1 yet it provides half the output capacity of the PP-1.
The hum, in either case, is not intrusive on the listening environment though.
"Have you not been swayed by the Shunyata stuff??"
Truth be told, I have not heard the Shunyata stuff as I have been a convert to the benefits of balanced power for a number of years now although I have been tempted to take a Hydra 8 home for a test drive on a few occasions to see what all the "excitement" is about :-)
The best upgrade U can do to the PP-1 is to cut off the molded AC male plug and install an Oyaide, preferably the P-004, as well as upgrade the outlet that feeds the PP-1 to an Oyaide as well. The ROI here is well worth it and replacing the molded plug will not void your warranty as per Frank Klink.
Another small but worthwhile tweak is to remove the front panel LED as this seems to impart a slight haze over the music. It is a screw in type and is easily removed from the front panel. It can also be reinstalled just as easily as well.
I also highly recommend installing a TeknSonics C-10 vibration absorber to the chassis to reduce chassis vibrations from the transformer.
There are other tweaks one can do as well but these are inside the chassis.
Cheers,
