csr78…thanks for posting your gear you have really nice gear…one thing
you can do to make your system sing and perform at new heights…don’t
think about it twice…get a regenerator…
The link I gave you uses a P12 with extremely power hungry gear and P12 takes
it very well.
From my own experience…I knew that my gear could perform well above my
experience with my system. Enter the P12 the 3d illusions attacks fade aways
bass instruments hung in 3d space from the tiniest nuances finger guitar strokes
slides and sudden picks that jump into space…previously either unheard or just
barely present.
My system is Focal Aria 948s Nordost Red Dawn silver plated copper wire,
Parasound A21 power amp Oppo 205 hd udp Nordost Red Dawn balanced interconnects, Emotiva XSP1 Gen 2 or Wyred4 Sound STP Se stage2 preamp
all powered by my P!2 regenerator.
The P12 has provided what sounds like a huge upscale upgrade to my overall
system. It is that good!!!
My suggestion is keep what you have and get a regenerator…P12 may be more than
enough and if not PS Audio will work with you to trade up to P15 regenerator.
Truly you will not regret getting it…you have excellent gear that will most happily
respond to good clean power.
Here is a short excerp from my earlier post…
After a few more hours on my P12…seeing how the P12 was responding
went ahead a installed the SR Quantum Blue fuse…another performance
increase.
This morning I decided to throttle up my sound levels playing Telarc’s release
remake of Sound Of Music…
Had my American Recorders sound level meter on the ready…
Here we go:
Opening sound of field finches about 33-34db on opening of music theme Sound of Music then increasing to 55-60 db.
Throughout the recording vocal strong transients into the 81-82 db level
The church bell peal about 70 db then the Cofitemini sung by abby nuns
into the low 80s then the mighty pipe organ hits at 98-99 db…
and wouldn’t you know my sound level meter decides to time out…
but not before registering the 98 db level and that was not the loudest moment,
pipe organ gets louder perhaps 99-100db…but I won’t know as I don’t want
to exasperate my neighbors.
My eyes were pegged to P12 watt meter and db meter as well and at the loudest transient only about 375 to 400 watts max drawn by my entire system.
Pipe organ is rather lengthy not brief duration.
At no time did my system sound choked or dynamics reduced far from it.
Rather seemed to be beg me louder louder play me louder…my ears said
'nough of that.
I have my Oppo 205, either my Wyred4sound STP Se Stage 2 or Emotiva XSP1 Gen2
plus My Parasound A21 driving my Focal Aria 948s.
P12 more than able to handle the load
