Boy at the price 899BK is asking on A-gon I am almost tempted to give them a try. He is only about a hour away from me and I purchased my Cary 303-300 from him new a few years back.

There is a PWT and PWD in Sarasota, Florida for sale on Agon. Not far from me. He is asking $4k or best offer, and says the two pieces are three weeks old, purchased from an authorized dealer. Bet he'd sell for $3.5k plus shipping.

When a person buys a brand new PWD and PWT from an authorized dealer, uses it for three weeks, then puts it up for sale, I have to ask the same question as DJ. Why? Was it not as good as they expected? Was it not as good as what they previously used? It is a mystery. I would have to be pretty unhappy about something to take a $2K+ hit on gear less than a month old.

I think many of these went for the up to $1k trade in for a used DAC and Used CD player so they were only paying a little over $4k for the 2 pieces.

In all honesty..... I've never been that impressed with the products coming out of the marketing machine at PS Audio.
The Power Plant Premier is the only product of note IMO.
