    PS Audio P15

    Any members have first hand experience with the P15 in their system? Curious to hear others reactions good or bad before I comment.

    Re: PS Audio P15

    I have the p10 in mine. As of late, I’ve been pushing it too hard and it shuts it self off because it doesn’t have the power to drive everything I have hooked up to it.

    thinking about picking on a 2nd one to handle the load.

    I have found that the more you load the PS Audio re-generators the noisier they get. The quality of some of the components that make up the units are also low quality. I dont think I would ever buy another unit.

    Re: PS Audio P15

    I've decided to pick up a Shunyata Denali 6000 V2. I'll use that for my amps, preamp, and digital. I'm going to limit what I"m running through the P10. I'm going to keep it, but for the amp that runs my surrounds, TV, AppleTV.. things that aren't as important as my monoblocks, pre, and digital.

    I've got a P20 and love it. I don't think you can have too much power capability so if you decide to buy, go for more power. I run my entire system off of one unit and a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Even with the power drain, the P20 is less than half loaded.

    The M500 power amps are plugged into a P20?

    Would be interesting to know. My 28b3’s shut it down when I get loud... which I like to do.

    PS Audio claims in some blog posts that they don’t “limit” power, but in my experience they do. It can only regenerate so fast.

    Be careful of your comments otherwise you might upset the PS super fans and find yourself banned from their super fan forums for 1000 years.

    Re: PS Audio P15

    I have been driving a Devialet D1000 Expert, a Mojo Illuminati V2 with a P10 with excellent results.

    I may replace it and I am considering either a P20 or a Shunyata Denali or Everest.

    Cheers,
    Bernard
