My aging P20 is doing it’s job right now. And hopefully it will keep at it until I can get Big Moose and Bigger Moose here to hoist this mother from behind the rack and up over it.
(The Everest is only as heavy as 15,000 dollars–roughly 30 lbs)

In my systems the PZ3.10 offered more top end clarity than a borrowed Everest. Both with a Audience FR power cord. There is a certain sense of ease that I associate with the PZ, which is why I went that route without hesitation. Yes, the initial buy was painful, especially for a Power Optimizer.

I would most likely end up with the PZ. I know several guys whose opinions I respect and they all love them.

I shut the P20 down and used a Wireworld power strip for two days. Luckily my son is a shrink.
When I plugged everything back into the P20, all came up happy and working normally for about 4 days so far.
Fingers crossed, all it wanted was some attention.

The Powerzone is amazing! I think you would be pleasantly surprised (if not blown away) how much better your system can sound with one.

I think I heard that somewhere.

Because I found sloppy work when replacing a light switch with an I home compatible, I replaced all of the other light switches and outlets. Of the some 25 outlets, 4 had ground lug screws that had never been tightened! A fault tester might not pick that up as that scenario is possibly the worst for intermittent connection. Only way to really check is to trip the breaker, pull the outlet out of the box and check to be sure all the screws are tight. Even worse than the uptightened screw was that the hot and ground wires were all “backstabbed” into the switches and outlets and about 20% of those came out when the device was pulled from the box. There is a reason that the safety ground connection requires a screw and can not be backstabbed. While you have the outlet out, you might as well replace it with a quality one. Be careful though as units like that sold by PSAudio are for 20 amp wiring and it is against code (and unsafe) to install one on a 15 amp circuit with 14 gauge wiring which is likely what you have. Devices requiring 20 amp circuits have a plug where one of the blades is T shaped so it can’t be inserted into a 15 amp receptacle. All that said, giving how tricky ground loops can be, if you do find a loose screw and tighten it, you might make the hum permanent! Good luck!
