Offered is „Premier Power Plant“ by PS Audio as second-hand device from the category „Power supplies / power supply“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2287309514 ends on 28.11.2026 at 09:42 o'clock.
The notable thing here is that the Premier is a genuine AC regenerator, not merely a filter or surge strip. At €600, this is a strong deal: it sits well below the €1,596 25th-percentile figure and far under the €2,354 median from 89 comparable asking prices. Provided it is the European version, the price is firmly bargain territory.
Its appeal is practical as much as audiophile: regulated, low-distortion power, substantial surge protection, multiple isolated outlet zones, and up to 1,500 watts of output. It can be particularly worthwhile where mains voltage or noise is troublesome, while the meters and delayed-start facilities add useful system control. Check that the display, outlets, remote, and CleanWave functions work, and confirm the input/output specification suits local mains. At this money, a clean, complete example deserves serious attention.

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.
