PS Audio P10 - the beast has landed
Tinkering away at the front end of my system and after some thought and comparing my PPP to a mains block I decided a P10 would be a good move, courtesy of Martin T's review of a few months ago
Arrived Thursday evening in the back of Trevor from Guildford Hifi's car.
It is big and heavy.
It would *just* fit into my Mana rack as Plan A, but I decided it was too tight given the weight and glass, plug overhang and ease of moving.
Plugged in and tried one track from Mavis. Sounded good, but I wasn't expecting much. Played various not so familiar music until today then albums I know.
So how was it after being left on for just over 2 days ?
Somewhere between surprising and stunning.
Way more detail, bass that seems to be connected directly to the earth below. Some little details shocked me because there was never any clue they were there before.
I wasn't going to review this soon as I expected it to take a while to come on song.
If it gets that much better from this level it will be stunning.
Not cheap and maybe you could manage with a P5, but you really should audition one if you can
