Next upgrade. Nice electricity

OPTION B: Buy a Power Inspired AG1500 mains regenerator and run an eight socket block from it.

I got one a year or so ago.
Very very pleased.
I had a PS Audio Power Plant Premiere (PPP) at the time, but the Power Inspired guys were offering a great deal on the AG1500 on the Wigwam forum, so I thought I'd give it a try. I do like to try different things!

Well -- the specs on the PS Audio gear look better, but in terms of the sonics it unleashed from my gear, the AG1500 punted the PPP into the long grass. I was surprised, no, amazed!

Still very happy with mine.

If you haven't changed your sockets to unswitched, that's the first thing to do. Better still, put a decent silver unswitched double in (such as an EPS-100) if you can.

The next stage: P10. 'nuff said.

Jerry, that's interesting.

Martin, I fitted eight single unswitched sockets last year.

... and ... ?

Was it a worthwhile improvement?

Yes, definitely.

Hi mate.
There is a chap who doesn't post on forums any more but his name is Roy K Riches, he was on PFM a lot. He is one of those chaps who is very passionate and somewhat extreme, he is one of the main authorities on mains effects and installations relating to hifi performance. A lot of what he preached is followed today and by reading some previous threads there are quite a few who have their mains installed in a similar way to his suggestions.
I have some 60 odd pages of his research I can email to you, but it would be a lot easier just to follow some of the conclusions myself and others have drawn.
Roy K Riches is a thoroughly decent chap and if your in Kent he will probably even pay you a visit.

Thanks James. Much appreciated. Ill try to find those threads. Sadly, I couldn't be much further away from Kent.

If he is going to power things from a P10 soon what will be the point of changing his existing sockets, they wont be used any more? Or am I missing something

[MartinT]

He will still need one good one, and an excellent input power cable. The P10 is sensitive to its power feed so to get the best from it I recommend a silver socket and MCRU Ultimate power cable.

P10 is sensitive to its power feed - how ironic and the need for a super mains cable too. What on earth goes down the pan if you use a std socket and keetle lead? I always feel uneasey with tempramental kit.
