One question. Why not the “Robbing the Piggy Bank” Panther for this review Amir? Is he off to the Islands for Holiday and not available? ;)
Since I'm not sure what problem people are solving with this, I have to assume they like extra boxes and have spare cash falling out of their pockets.

Thanks @amirm for another revealing review and kudos to PS Audio for making such a great ground loop generator for only $2400 :oops:

For me it's interesting to mesure a :

Furman AC-210 A E Power Conditioner​

A professional product that has been proven for a long time and which is recognized as significantly improving the sound.

Not an "Audio(idiot)phile High End" product like this PS Audio Powerplant...
Is there any evidence this product improves the sound? If so I'd enjoy reading it, please provide link.

Often a professional installation features a line conditioner, against the chance that line noise gets on a recording for example. That can mean thousands of dollars in re-do, and/or an angry customer.

So this device, which sells for about $290 from Crutchfield, should be recommended for home audio because it will "improve the sound."?

I don't recall saying that, unless you have a business (?) In any event there are better ones out there.

PS Audio must really hate Amir
PS Audio should hate Paul, he's the guy at the top signing off the ploys to waste everyone's time. Paul is wasting their engineer's time, their marketing's time, their CUSTOMER's time. This entire company is nothing but snake oil at its worst. It's pretty clear at this point that the company has absolutely no integrity, they're bottomless in the worst way, releasing product after product which actually damages the audiochain. They are lying and cheating the customers.

Amir should do a snakes award at the end of the year. Paul would undoubtedly earn top marks.

Perhaps they like making obscene profits, and don't care if the stuff works. That's kind of typical for audio tweaks.

Making money on its own is a waste of a life.

(fictional) Samantha's marketing job is to lie about what PSaudio's devices do but PSaudio's products actually makes audio worse.

Samantha might be thinking, well, she's getting paid, she eats food, she poops. But what are the COSTS to Samantha. Samantha is dying with every passing moment. PSaudio is Flushing Samantha's life down the toilet.

The lie is worthless, it has not improved society, it has not improved Audio. PSaudio is throwing (fictional) Samantha's life away. Maybe Paul is callous and doesn't care, he thinks Samantha's life is worthless and expendable, but her life is not worthless to HER.

This is why company leadership is important. If the company's entirety is predicated on Snake oil, then everyone's time is wasted, both PRODUCER and CONSUMER, both ends are getting fleeced by Paul. Paul is killing (fictional) Samantha, he's killing the engineers, he's killing every person at that company. PSaudio is the worst type of predator, a stupid one.

I complerely agree. Money is evil, and it should all be given to me to dispose of it properly. No need to thank me, my karma is shining now.

At best, it might get rid of a ground loop, but does not improve the sound.

Greed is natural. it's merely the derivative of our animal instinct to conserve energy, (turn a profit).

Stupidity, is taking the profits and burning it. That's been PSaudio's only role relative to the industry.

We can accept Greed, we can even accept Tyranny, but we can not accept PSaudio.
