Powerplant peak current and noise filtering Capability

[John_H]

Dear Goodsource,

I have two P20s, each used to separately power my L and R stereo monoblock amps, plus other peripheral devices. Check out my profile for a photo of my listening room layout, if you’re curious.

I was intrigued by the potential for balanced isolation transformers (“BITs”) to complement my P20s, so I did a bit of research on the subject. Now, I’m a happy owner of several PLiXiR Elite BACs.

This thread may be helpful for answering some of your questions related to the P20’s noise isolation /transmission:

Power Plant and Noise

AC regenerators (essentially power amplifiers) do many wonderful things, exactly as claimed, in the area of delivering clean and pure low-impedance, high power AC - up to a certain point, constrained by its rated output. Not to nit-pick, but I’d like to better understand its less-well-understood shortcomings. As I had suspected, while reduction of both common-mode and differential-mode noise is “spectacular” up to the AC regenerator’s upper bandwidth, above this, which is to say, unfortunately…
