PSA Gurus:
I’m considering either the PSA Dectet or the Audioquest Powerquest 3 as the protection/conditioner for my secondary (bedroom) music system.
The Dectet is $500 vs the PQ3 $300, and I’m wondering if it is worth the extra $$ over the PQ3? They seem to serve similar purposes and be similarly equipped. Has anyone compared them and willing to share findings?
System will be Cambridge Edge W amp with 851n preamp streamer/dac, and Spendor A7 speakers with mid level REL sub. For a relatively modest system of this level I can’t justify spending more than the $300-500 on protection/conditioning at this time, and lower is preferred.
So anybody got experience or opinions on this choice between dectet and PQ3? Thanks in advance.
PS - what is story behind “dectet” name? There must be one but not intuitively obvious, at least to me. It’s an interesting name, but what does it mean or stand for?
I have a Dectet running my system that has a Roon Nucleus, DSJ, BHK preamp, M700’s and passive speakers. I like it. There is no room for anything else in that system. It was a nice improvement over plugging straight into the wall.
My Modem, router, NAS, AVR, TV plugged into another Dectet. They are better than being plugged into a power strip plugged into the wall. The TV picture was noticeably better. Of course YMMV.
I have a P12 ahead of my other system that has a Nucleus+, Matrix converter, DSD, BHK pre, Cisco switch, 2 SBooster power supplies plugged into it . It was worth the extra money and I would buy a regenerator over any other source if you have the money.
