PS Audio Stellar P3 Power Regenerator *PRICE DROPPED PS Audio Stellar PowerPlant 3 - P3 Black Purchase new in Australia 4x AU outlet plugs C13 input plug Includes remote (not pictured) Hi-Fi Tuning - Supreme Gold Audiophile fuse installed Low usage.

This is ambitious, not a bargain. At A$2,600, it sits above a few recent used asks around A$2,100 and A$1,599, while still below the new/retail anchor of about A$5,295; for a clean unit, that puts it in the “paying close to the top of the used band” territory rather than an obvious deal.
The upside is real: the P3 is well-regarded for giving source gear a cleaner, more stable AC supply, and in a like new listing that usually means low risk and better resale comfort. If it’s truly complete with the original box, remote/app setup items, and no operational quirks, it can still be a sensible buy for a system that benefits from power conditioning — just not the kind of price that makes you pounce without comparing a couple more sales.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
