You know, sometimes when you are listening without the reviewer's hat on, just listening and enjoying the music, not in the critical evaluation mode at all, you still hear things that you hadn't noticed before. This has been happening to me ever since I installed the PS Audio Power Plant Premier into my main system. Yesterday as an example, I found myself listening to Paul Brown - The City CD, and hearing percussion sounds, wood blocks, faint triangle sounds, marimbas, and second level guitar chords that I had not ever focused on before. It seems the deeper the silence, the easier it is to hear into the background, and begin to notice audible events that had previously gone undetected, or buried. It is truly thrilling to hear these new discoveries. Just this morning I was listening to George Benson - Standing Together CD, the first track, "C-Smooth", and was amazed at the complete seperation of every sound, and every instrument. George's guitar floated around the room, the percussion instruments that set the beat were ever present in their own breathing space, never smeared with any other sound. Ricky Peterson's vibraphone blended so smoothly with the guitar and occasional moog synth, yet always had its very own uncrowded space. This entire CD is great, BTW.

It is such a treat to be caught out of the evaluation mode, and still find yourself surprised and blown away when new depths and demensions are revealed in your sound system performance. The PPP has made a welcomed improvement in my sound system that is still divulging new qualities as I write these word. In my opinion, the Power Plant Premier is a must have upgrade for all high-end systems.
