Snakeoil Salesman 2 channel setup

My PSAudio P5 power regenerator has/had this weird issue. There is a hard switch at the back, and if I flicked that off, it'd never turn on again for a few days.. For more than a year I've lived with this inconvienence. Then couldn't take it anymore and decided to ship it back to the Australia distributor - Magenta Audio.

Shipped the unit all the way there (From Perth to Adelaide), and once there they couldn't fault it, at all . It works every time for them. They did discover the firmware was still 0.40, and they re-flashed it to the latest. This is strange because I had definitely flashed it to the latest the day before packing it up.

Anyway, whatever the problem was. Once they gave it the all clear and shipped it back to me. Lo and behold, it is as they said - the unit worked... Granted I only flicked the hard switch a total of 3 times since receiving it. The two times I flicked the switch to the ON position, the unit powered on.



Lived without the P5 for approximately two weeks. And I am glad I got it back.

No matter how good you think your audio equipment is, regardless how you think AC to DC rectification works. Try and add power regeneration to your system, and experience yourself the difference it makes - for better or worse.

The whole sound stage just clears up - giving you a vivid and 3D stage that sounds so real it can fool you into thinking it's real.

Kudos to Mangenta Audio. Can't fault their after sales service, timeliness to respond, and price. Their after sales service gave me a lot of confidence and faith in this PS Audio product.

Not entirely sure how long this bliss will last. Power regenerators are fickle beasts (even my friend's Accuphase power regenerator seemed to have developed a fault). But finger crossed I'd get to enjoy music for a few more months at least.
