Nice price - it's the AG500, not the AG1500, so make sure it's got enough power for all you want to plug into it.

Thanks Jerry , my main concern is to stabilize the power supply to my valve amp . I contacted Power Inspired with the details of the amp and they suggested that it should only take up around 50% of the power available from the AG500 . Maybe plug in the server too if I can . I will post when I have it in my system.

Make sure you have OVERHEAD for load swings, peaks. 500 is best for sources only not amps. I have the 1500 without magic mains cables

Brian had a AG1500 the much bigger one myself. moved in on very quickly killed the sound on my system , sounded much better plugged into the wall
better spend the money on a good mains cable or interconnects or isolation platform or mains conditioner or balanced transformer
unless your mains supply is shocking bad

nb - brian your amp works on any voltage & any frequency on the planet 110v to 240volts 50 to 60hz

or install a pv solar system on your roof - pv inverter is a regen unit
bonus you will never get another leccie bill in your life
any surplus energy you get paid tax free & index linked for 25years

Brian, you heard what a balanced trannie does, stick with what your ears tell you mate.

[Gazjam]

Yup, gotta go with that.
I've pulled the trigger on one...well, had to really.

Be good to compare with Brian's Power Inspired.

Need to ask Airlink about the safety aspect we spoke of Ali, emailed them but they haven't came back to me.
Will phone them Monday.

What should I be asking for to be fitted do you reckon?
Could do aftermarket DIY....no problems there (well there is for ME doing it ) but it might knacker the warranty, dunno.

[Ali Tait]

Yes sure, you get in at Owston Hall?

I'd want a double pole RCBO fitted to the secondaries. Same as on mine.

[brian2957]

Yes , I know what you're saying Ali . Just had to scratch an itch Hopefullt we can carry out a direct comparison when they both arrive.

Nooooo -- my AG1500 is wonderful!

It kicked my old PS Audio PowerPlant Premier well into the weeds.

Curious that Scott found his killed his system sound - there are dozens of owners on Wigwam, because of the discount offer there last year, also on Il Duce Dung's leetle cesspit of a forum, the vast majority think it's very good, including those using power hungry big valve amps. I wouldn't want to be without mine.
