I lost count of mine.

It is now powering the home theater system delivering clean, regulated, perfect sine wave power to the MX120, MC352, MR85, and Oppo BDP-83. There is no need to repeat all the praise that has already been heaped on the Power Plant Premier. It is performing its job perfectly, and the HT system is reaping the clean power benefits. I have the Power Plant Premier plugged into the wall mounted PS Audio Soloist Premier SE outlet, fed with a 20 amp dedicated circuit.

As you can see, one PPP is under the tube gear rack, and one PPP is under the HT gear rack, quietly performing their magic. Highly recommended.
I also have a PPP, and i'm quite happy with it ,matter factI bought one even before MasterLu! I'm a bit puzzled here though....how does one "tweak the output voltage and the input and output display calibrations??? In the manual there is no description on how one can manipulate these functions. It is a "plug and play device"! Am I missing something here?? I have 2 dedicated 20 Amp lines.one for my amps & one for the sources. Also I am getting "only" 1.4% THD on the input and 1.6% on the output THD. I read on other posts that some guys are getting .6% on the output! Is my power grid 'that dirty"? Am I doin something wrong? Any advice/ suggestions are appreciated...

Here is a link thanks to JDandy that should help you.

It tells you how to match your input and output voltage.

tjnif.......Using the calibration procedures in the back of the service manual to calibrate the input and output digital display for voltage is easy. Attempting to adjust the input and output THD display is not something you can do at home. It requires an accurate THD analyzer. A quality THD meter can run between $7K and $20K. I am guessing you do not have one.

It is unsusal for the output THD to be a higher number than the input THD. It may well be just a calibration error, or perhaps something worse. I would contact PS Audio, explain what is going on, and follow their advice.

Thanks for the info! I just did it and everything is fine! My input now reads 1.4 And my output reads in between .2 AND .3%, volts at 121. Must of been some kind of error for the THD though, but at least I have similar readings to everyone else!
