Brief history of PS Audio Power Plants

Love them Infinity speakers in the background.

No joke, that and the Bob Carver Amazing Loud speaker. Mmm Ribions.

I had one of those early inefficient models. A great room heater!

A "quick and dirty story" --- about clean power.

[@iluxman]

I really love the Infinity

PS Audio also set a standard for I²S connections. Not much power there but changing the world one connection at a time 😊

I finally realized that a "power regenerator" is NOT ANYTHING like what All the other "power conditioning" or "power noise" contraptions that most audio stores sell. Once I called Chris and he explained how much I'll need to get my system powered correctly I then purchased the P12 and immediately the entire system came out and finally had LIFE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING. It's really night and day and ohh boy I hear things now I never had B4 . I played a Kenny Burrell vinyl one afternoon and could hear the drums in the corner of the room as if they were being played live. So many changes to list. Don't hesitate if you've been thinking about a power plant. You will definitely Not regret it if you buy one. Thanks again Paul for making me happier in the never ending quest for the best in Audiophile Heaven. 💯

please try to do a blind test with another voltage regulator. Ask for your friend to give you 6 total listening sessions. 2 with ps 2 with another brand 2 without anything and let us know.

[@scottyo64]

​@tuncg sounds like something you should do. If it matters to you, you need to do the test

[@tuncg]

@@scottyo64 I do not have the equipment with me. PS audio does not give this service in my country. Why you are watching this video if you are not interested in the truth? It is important and you do not have to afraid of it. After paying a huge amount it is always wow the change is huge =))

I got one like the power sonic it works decent enough had used one for 15 years

[@NoEgg4u]

Eaton Powerware makes double conversion, uninterruptible power supplies that have a 95% efficiency rating, and can power data centers drawing over 2 megawatts. I supposes that Liebert, Tripp Lite, APC, and others have competing systems. I wonder how a high-end stereo would sound being fed by one of the above? Also, how do they achieve such a higher efficiency rating, compared to the PS Audio Power Plants?

[@cengeb]

Cus Eaton and others are actually in the business of quality electrical power stuff. and their stuff is UL ETL, CSA etc tested to industry standards, unlike foo foo hi fi nonsense.

[@MichaelM-to4sg]

You need to do a little research on what and how a UPS works vs how a AC regenerator functions. If you have or have access to an oscilloscope, much of your question will be answered 😉

[@cengeb]

@@MichaelM-to4sgYeah the pricey hundreds of thousands dollars analytical lab equipment I install for dozens and dozens of labs, use Eaton equipment UPS back up 3 phase, or single phase that power several thousand watt systems. I guess I don't understand hi fi foo foo. Funny stuff.

[@cengeb]

@@MichaelM-to4sg I install laboratory analytical equipment, super sensitive, to stuff ...UPS Eaton 3 phase units drive it fine...instruments cost 1/2 million dollars or more. Stop the nonsense. Home hi fi, is not that complicated, it's based on too much nonsense. Ask why none of PS stuff is UL or ETL CSA etc etc listed, and tested to industry standards

[@hugobloemers4425]

The 230 VAC power in my home is too good for a power-plant to be a priority. If the AC power is iffy where you live, then it may be a good idea.

[@DaveMoore-pe1ek]

Does Ps Audio own Boulder Audio???????

[@sidesup8286]

I think a lot of people do not understand power re-generators, and it gives them pause. If something goes wrong with it and everything is hooked up to it; is it capable of taking out everything that's connected to it? That is why I think more people don't consider one; and the cost. So many people are into vintage receivers and amplifiers. They pay thousands of dollars for a vintage receiver and it ruins their multi thousand dollar speakers with harmful DC current. At least the speakers make a squealing sound for a few seconds before they go out; but it might be too late by then. This happened to me many years ago, but lucky me, I had cheap Radio Shack speakers hooked up that day. I know what some are thinking now. Can cheap speakers with cheap parts inside make something go wrong with your amp?

Great video! As someone who loves outdoor camping and values family time, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. With its massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging, it's perfect for keeping your devices and appliances running during extended outdoor adventures. Plus, its waterproof design ensures it can handle any weather. Check it out!

Does it power the starship Voyager!😃

[@bayard1332]

Once you hear proper clean power vs crappy power it's dang near impossible to be happy using crappy power...

[@carlubambi5541]

80% is not bad .We use ac inverters for 3 phase motor control and they are using ac to Dc bac to modified sine wave Ac for motor control .They are getting better .But like with all electronics the capacitors are the weak ling in all the power supplies ..Most devices have a 5 year life span not because of the IGBTs or the IVs and mosfets .They are prety much bullet proof .Its the stupid Capacitirs .Just like the batteries in EVs the weak link in the system .Energy stirage or fiktering .They fail like crazy

[@bobbg9041]

😊 imagine what you could do in a sound room with 480volt 3phase power. Not sure of dc conversion equaling but something like 1,500 to 3,000 volts DC and a huge rectifying circuit. What would you use that for? Mitilary sound wave below 15hz. Low enough to cause the other troops to get very sick to there core. Can i get that in a transducer, Ok joking aside, Don't most home audio products running off 120 volts ac drop the voltage to 12 volts DC for parts of the circuit, even with the big toroidal coil in my avr3040 its still not running off 120volts on most the electronics inside the Avantage audio vedio receiver Why that, its what i could afford As blue stock i could have bought a newer version from my distrubtor But i went for factory seconds. Thats a good point to make and im sure you sell refrebished equipment if someone wants to save a few bucks go ahead and buy It you won't be sorry. Paul, can you still get them Ribbon Tweeters in the Infinity Towers. I would love to buy a few to DIY my own speakers. That could be a whole division is Parts to sell to hobbest sure you have madison, and Parts Express But we have nothing here in the midwest. Raw drivers pre-made Crossovers and stuff. Things you can't run down to radio shack and buy well i can't do that anyway they all closed in my area. I have to go to electronics supply Or mouser. And i think Madson closed during covid19.

Perhaps for you, but for people with experience and developed listening skills it is quite easy to not suffer stupidity. You should try learning things first hand instead of screaming on the internet 'I'm a jerk!'

@@bayard1332 Instead of responding with personal attacks (the first refuge of those losing the argument), perhaps use facts to back your position. I am a 50 year audiophile and I can state unequivocally that the placebo effect is real in the audio equipment realm... As it is in medicine, sales/marketing, and any number of other endeavors. You seem quite angry... is it because you've spent large dollars on items for which you cannot prove on a blind compare basis that there was any benefit?
