    Default Power Inspired AG500

    I use one of these and thought they had stopped making the 500W version . I use one in my system and it's surprising how many pieces of equipment can be connected to it . I've had a 37inch plasma TV , an integrated valve amp , a music server/ computer , a Bluray player and a Virginmedia box all connected to this at the same time . Total output used was 67% of available output so plenty of headroom left.
    Improves SQ and TV picture and outputs a steady 230V no matter what time of day it is . Mine has a little readout so you can see what's going on . I've just saw this on Mark's site and this is a major bargain IMO . I wouldn't be without mine .

    I've been using mine for around 2 years now Dave and I've took it out the system a couple of times but it always goes back in very quickly .

    Thanks Brian

    The latest AG500 'PWM' model has an adjustable fan that is only 7db on the slowest speed which is just about silent.
    (The early AG500 models had a fixed fan as you know.)

    Yes mines is a fixed fan Mark , but is virtually inaudible . The adjustable ones must be very quiet indeed.
    The AG500 has taken my system to another level

    Very interesting Brian ... What kind of improvement to your TV pic did you get?

    Brighter sharper picture Julian , with better colour and overall more detail . In short improvements in all areas including the sound .

    I just sold my AG1500, it was really hard to see it go. I bought a TQ Iridium amp and I promised myself I would strip my hifi right back to the bare essentials to pay off the amp. As soon as I took the AG1500 out along with my BPS I lost a whole level of bass and my hifi sounds somewhat disjointed. So I know that mains products will be first on my shopping list :-)

    Just a heads up on pricing,
    As from today there is lower pricing on the AG500 PWM and AG1500.
    Follow Brian's link in the first post to see a price as if I put the price here I wont be able to edit it if the price goes up again.
    Not 100% sure if this is permanent new pricing or a winter offer.

    A bargain on the AG500 PWM that is just about silent with the fan speed turned down.
    AG1500 back down to pre dealer network prices.
