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

While the maximum volume may be a few dBs louder, the input to output gain will remain the same. Also some power conditioners may have problems with big amps playing near max volume.

stereogeek replied to a thread New tube amp in Amplifiers

Having owned an Illuminati D60 digital cable many many years ago, and deeming it the best I had at the time, I have followed Chris’ journey to Stereovox, Stereolab and Black Cat Cables, rooting for him to succeed. This is sad news indeed. RIP Chris.

Thanks for the kind words. I fully expected this amp to have a wonderful midrange, floppy bass and a so so top end. However, the pace and drive this tiny amp can do defies logic. The midrange is 100% EL34, smooth, flowing and with a huge 3d sound...

Think what you want. The output voltages on some power conditioners is higher by design. The result is louder output volume. On such an A/B comparison, there is a well-known perceptual auditory bias for louder output.
