Has anyone tried an PS Audio PerfectWave Powerplant P10 oder similar with the SIA-025?

The PS Audio PerfectWave Powerplant P10 is a regen which is supposed to re-build the original signal, remove contamination and produce a perfect sine wave according to PS Audio. I haven't tried a regen in my system, but I have had great success with the Gigawatt PC-3 SE Evo conditioner.

The Gigawatt has a double buffering circuit with compensation cells with enhanced capacity and levels the difference between input and output power, dramatically improving impulse response for non-linear loads (eg: power amplifiers). It provides over-voltage protection and extremely robust surge protection provided by a hydraulic-magnetic switch made by Carling Technologies & has an accurate voltmeter which displays input voltage in 'true RMS' via an LED display on the front panel. It also has a dedicated high current branch for amplifiers & is one of the few conditioners where a power amp sounds better connected to the conditioner than direct to wall. An added bonus is that the product's footprint allows it to be placed on a normal height rack shelf which I find useful.

Here is a review fyi which has detailed pics of the internals and parts. Note: Gigawatt have slightly improved the design since this review.

Hi there, looking at getting a used Vitus SIA 025. Any idea what is the difference between the MKI and MKII? Is it upgradable by the local dealer or Vitus themselves?​

I think this may have been the update that increased the class A/B output from 100 to 150 watts per channel. Please note that class A is where the magic is though.
