brodricj replied to a thread PS Audio PowerPlant 15 in Power Conditioners & Regulators

Doesn't PS Audio have a 30 day obligation free return policy? Not much point in us telling you what we think of their products in our homes, just buy one and try it in your home and if you don't like it return it.
