hi - the amplifiers of my main system are currently using a perfectwave powerplant 10. the components are a pair of ampzilla 2000 series 2 monoblocks, each rated at 300 wpc, and a pair of ohm f5015 plate-amp powered subs, each rated at 500 wpc. i’m hoping to move the p10 up to my secondary system…

is it the case that the ‘15’ in the newer model represents a step up in power-handling capability? i ask because the p10 has proven entirely adequate these last 8 or 9 years - i mean, it’s never been the case that more power was demanded from the regenerator than it was capable of supplying (in tha…

oh - and thanks for the ‘welcome’!

If you can afford it, get the P20. You won’t regret it. There’s a saying in the racing car world that applies to regenerators: “there’s no substitute for cubic inches”.

[image] bakufu: which model is optimal? P20. Hands down. Not only is there a big upgrade in its ability to regulate the voltage compared to the older models, you’ll also be getting an increase in headroom you didn’t have before with the P10. The P15 is a great upgrade over the P10, but the P2…

I think they both handle similar power loads, but thde P15’s newer tech works better. I am using less than 20% of the maximum in my system.

thanks to all – this is very useful. perhaps i can impose to ask a follow-on question. supposing that i do opt for either the 15 or the 20 for my main system (described above), i would move my p10 to my secondary system. that system is much lighter weight: a mac book air as a roon endpoint, a be…

:+1:t2: Given Ampzilla 2000 could draw upto 1500W max (each), definitely the P20 is a safe bet at every level.

This is a gorgeous looking machine. No expert here, but tubes love well regulated voltage more than anything else which the P10 provides hands down. If I were in your position, I would start by testing the P10 with Line Magnetic integrated, connect the high current output on the P10 to the input …

thanks serhan - yes, LM makes some very beautiful equipment. i’ve heard from a friend in the industry that reliable distribution of several of their products will soon be available in the US. for now, i’m following joey fischer’s advice and testing my stellar p3 in this system.
