  I replaced a PS Audio PD3.5 with a PPP. The PPP was shipped out of the first batch of PPP. I have had absolutely no problems -- my fan has never come on. It powers a 100 watt amp, a phone stage, two 500 watt subs, two cd players, a DAC, a FM tuner, and a turntable. I sound from my system improved significantly - cleaner, clearer, and more dynamic.

  Mine is beyond my expectations. The effect were immediate and clearly audible. The bass response seem to get stronger. In fact, I'm sure it did. Noticed that the highs were better as well. Rather, more contrast against such a black background made them seem so. Stellar product. I do not see how anyone could buy any other power conditioner with the tech in this one.

  I have had mine two months now and am very pleased with it. Previously auditioned a Gray Power Plant (RGPC 400 Pro) for a week and it didn't work for me.

  Just last night I played some T. Monk which I had not played since adding the P3, wow! Ya, I'm satisfied.

  Later, Buster

  I like mine. I am not much for reviewing products. I had a P500, and the Premier is definitely better in many ways (i.e. more outlets, isolation between outlets, can handle more components, THD measurement, start up sequencing, remote control). Just my $0.02.

    Cool, thanks. Does it sound any better than the P500? How much better than something like the Duet?

      I think the Premier sounds better than the P500 in my system. I had both at the same time, and I did some quick testing. I also have a Duet for my bedroom system. It is hard to quantify how much better the Premier is better than the Duet. Two different systems with different equipment in different rooms. One is passive and the other regenerates. I can say that one day I will have a Premier for the bedroom if I come across a nice deal. I have seen some people selling their Premier for ~$1600 on Audiogon. Go figure.

        Great, would anyone else care to share their experiences. It seems like people just aren't talking about this unit.

          I have had a PPP in my stereo system for several months and will have a second PPP in my A/V system as soon as it gets it fan switch fixed. I had a P600 that I traded in for the PPP. The PPP is superior to the P600. Let me count the ways...
          --Soundstage is improved. Better depth. More defined.
          --Subjectively, the music can be more "organic"; i.e. real, involving.
          --For the first time, the sound became "transparent". Not too sure I can describe this nor did I understant the term when used in the Absolute Sound!. It just floated there in space. Note that this only happened with very good recordings and is the exception rather than the rule.
          --on the downside, more resolution works both ways depending on the recording, etc. The good music is better but the flawed recording reveal their flaws more. Kind of like getting new glasses and going to the beach.
          

          I did not compare the PPP sise by side with the P600 or any other line conditioner. It was fairly easy to determine the PPP was better and I was not interested in writing a review.

          The benefits described depend on the system. I do not expect to see this level of improvement in my A/V system. I don't listen to music on that system anyway.
