I know, Pete. It's getting harder and harder to resist.

As long as he doesnt go past 1500W or 12.5A he should be fine. 2x501, C220 and MCD500 should play fine all on one PPP.

Don't forget some WW Silver Electra's... That is just as necessary as the PPP itself. Sorry David, but that lampcord power cable you have on those 501's has got to go (especially if you want bass improvement).

Thanks Dan.....you just made my day I have a Monster..... and now I have a urge to upgrade why you ask? heheheh

I like a black one Ivan.....you may get a pm from me yet

Yeah, Dan sure knows how to hurt a guy doesn't he....

Congrats David !!
Welcome to the 501 club ! You will discover each day more and more of what these babies are able to make !
Now the C1000 is not far ....

Thanks, are you getting the C1000 ? I am happy for now

With feet....4" tall.

black and blue,perfect together. I agree black looks good with mac.

David......The first thing I did with both PPP's was to put green felt pads on the bottom of all four feet on each unit. No scuffs. Now the PPP's are on top of each MC501.

'cisco.......Forgive my blunt comment, but I call like I see it. If it's good I'll say so, and the same goes if it is not.

Monster products have their place in the market, just not my market.

Jeff.......Many surge protection/filter combinations are poorly designed, and restrict current flow. When running big amps capable of large current demands on peaks at high volume, it is best not to have anything in the AC power line that restricts current flow. This is how the idea of plugging amps directly into the wall came to be, to avoid the current restrictions of filters, chokes, and other types of poorly engineered AC line devices.

The PPP regenerates clean AC to a maximum continuous 12.5 amps. According to PS Audio, it is also capable of delivering considerably higher peak current on short interval demands. It does not restrict voltage or current, it regenerates, and provides clean power.

Read my post #23 here: http://audioaficionado.org/ps-audio/...uestion-3.html . It will give you some insight into actual current demands for a system with all components connected to a single PPP.
