Adding P10 Into The Mix
Hi Guys, need some advise here from resident PS experts..
I'm currently running two dedicated line feeding my two channel only system. One seeing a P1200 powering mono amps, and the other, into a PPP which feeds transport, dac, and a pre-amp. Both are working superbly btw. Now (that itch), I want to add one P10 into the mix, how best to do so in order to reap the greatest benefit/sound improvement? 1) Replace PPP w/P10 powering the front ends 2) Replace P1200 w/P10 powering the mono amps 3) Use only one outlet and plug ALL into the P10 *May add a second P10 if happy with results in near future. Appreciate any input/feedback. Cheers.

If I had your itch...😎 I would power the mono amps with a P10. What amps do you have?
I use two PPP in my system. One for the DAC and Preamp. The second for my stereo amp. I should note that I am very happy with the results.

I had that same gut feeling, but my dealer advises that replacing the PPP which is powering front-ends would see greater benefits.  *Surprisingly, for high current demands, vintage P1200 actually outperformed PPP in my system hence me still keeping it when upgrading to PPP a few years back (ordered two, returned one). It will be an interesting call between it and the P10. I trust new P10 to have the upper hand - but by how much.  *Also seeking opinions from those who have made the switch from PPP to P10, how much improvements? And what are some of the more immediate glaring gains?

Very nice amps!!!
I would use a single P10 for each amp if possible. Also it wouldn't hurt to experiment on your own. Some decisions are best made through personal experiences. Does your dealer have a P10 you could demo? If so, play around with different configurations and see what sounds best to you. Let us know how it goes and I hope you get some good benefits as I did with better power regeneration.

I have a set of MC601's , C2300 ,MCD500 all plugged in to P10 and hardly using 19% of power that can handle. ( with 275's are about 32% ) I would suggest go with single P10 for now.

Oh... I had a PPP before.... the improvements are not subtle. ( do not believe on specs - hear the difference. The specs is just specs )

That's what the dealer said - one for each mono block is best.. Much more at ease and relax with the greater reserve headroom. But comment was referring to a friend's system using all new monstrous Soulution 701 monos/preamp driving Q7. Was told including HT set-up he ended using 6x P10s! Thankfully my lesser system need not go that extent. *Once delivered I'll play around, probably doing option 1 first i.e. replace PPP and see how things go from there. Hate lugging and re-arranging those heavy blocks!
