Power plant p20

Ok iv had a p20 for over a yr now n it keeps clicking …i mentioned it on a fb page n they said get in touch n send it back …i like it im using naim gear n rels and oppo 205 and an onkyo tx 5010 for av …but since day one it clicks …sumtime quite loud …was told its because of dc …iv attached a few pix to see what ppl thibk as if i chandge it from 230 …/ to 235 …its seems to go away …n not doit as much …but then i think i loose sum detail …any advice




…also im in Australia …any help gratefully appreciated …iv tried the standard cable and ive tried chord shawline…n im starting to get over it

How often does it click?

Mine did that, it’s to do with the big voltage difference between 244V in and 230v out. As you say, increasing Vout to nearer Vin fixes this issue. Nothing is faulty, it’s just the design where relays have to keep switching to cope with the difference you have set between Vin & Vout

Hi yep it does it quite a bit even when none of my equipment is playing …

Yep when its up at maybe 235 …it hardly does it …but i feel im missing out on sum detail …i could b wrong …how did urs sound when u upd ur voltage …

I’m no expert on the effects of audio changes at varying Vout, but I would be surprised if it did make a difference, try increasing it further up to your Vin, sound quality may return.

My guess is the voltage difference between input and output varies (at times) enough that the regenerator’s protection clicks in and that’s what you are hearing. And that’s likely why running the output at 235 gets rid of it. I would stay at 235.

Cool thanx for ur help everyone much appreciated …ill put it back to 235 v …:grin::grin:

Also quick pic of my gear …n the naim definitely sounds better through the p20 …rather than tbe wall … Naimees will flog me fkr that …but its true


And again thanx for the quick replies and paul …as i was getting told different things previously …but p20 is seriously the best upgrade to my equipment after the subs :loud_sound::loud_sound::wink:

An even bigger upgrade would be moving that right speaker away from the wall :wink:

Yep jedi i know that and i do when im playin my music :notes: :notes: but i put it back when watching a movie with the kids …so all good …the sacrifices we have to make :joy::joy:

@Stevelj244 - I have Sopra 2. I highly suggest you look into installing IsoAcoustics Gaia I to replace the spikes and cups you are using. You can also buy a nice set of caps to cover the top of the hole where the spike knob is currently.

The Gaia I are an amazing upgrade. Far more accurate and tighter bass. They also really help with vocals, they are more articulate.

When I wrote “I just ordered them…” I should have said “When I ordered them a year ago…”

The good news is that they still appear to stock them.
