Could not put it better. If I remember correctly it has been tested and measured by Amir at ASR. With state of the art measuring devices. And it did not go so good for the power plant .. and PS Audio put out videos when they measured (with their lesser sophisticated measurement device) and it got all messy and did not in my opinion put any good light on PS Audio and their power "regeneration" product. I watch all of this basic Paul "ask me in mail" videos with his "excuse of shame less plugs" 😊 they are short and nice.🎉 I dont learn anything new for the most of the time, it is just Entertainment.😅 But this video breaks the form and is not a viewer that ask something that Paul try to explain.🤔 This is just a straight forward selling of the product AC regeneration product. And that is fine when Paul is first of all a seller and have a business to run. But it makes me wonder if they have identified and analyzed that they have lower sale figures for their AC regenerations units/product than expected, And need to "promote them" more. Maybe Amir gate made the audiophiles to see how that product really performed and resulted in the drop in sales of that specific product offering?🤔
Paul , you just need to verify your statements at 2:20 and 3:40 via double-blind listening tests with a reasonable number of panelists and trials. Not only must they find the addition of the device consistently “recognizable”, they need to consistently deem it “better”, and by a magnitude worthy of the price of this device. Till then, this is just too much of a leap for people like me. .
@1:58 "A power conditioner only makes that worse, because..." Paul, your good friend, William E. Low, of Audioquest, will not be pleased to hear you say that about his Niagara line of power conditioners.
Power Plant is a great idea, but isn't it just trying to make up for inadequate power supplies in the equipment that you are suppling mains power to? Surely, in a conventional power supply, oversized storage capacitors followed by a good regulation will make it immune to mains impedance, fluctuations, sine wave distortion, and so on. For a good switching supply, I just don't understand the need. I have never tried a power plant, so maybe my scepticism is unreasonable.
basically, yes. unless your household power is really bad, which is really rare in western world anyway. for a switching supply they're silly. especially silly if the first thing inside the switching power supply is a full bridge rectifier - you could just feed DC to it straight up from the power plant and should if you're messing around.
Paul, thank you for expounding on the Power Plant. May I ask why you recommend this product only for sources, but have two outlets on the back for amplifiers, and then say don't use them? Can you elaborate please? Thank you very much.

I would love to see it tested

He said they are just conditioned not regenerated. I think in the P20 they are all regenerated
@HongNguyen-my5oq - I am asking Paul.
