Purchased in Oct 2023 from an Australian retailer. Very little use from December 2024 as I bought a more high end conditioner then and this has been in the cupboard.Has had no issues.There is one light scratch on the side of the unit, as seen in the photo, was accidently knocked against a chair l...
The very good condition helps here, and at A$700 this sits below the A$730 25th percentile of recent AUD comparables, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. Against the A$758 median and A$819 75th percentile, the ask leaves enough room that a buyer is not paying top-of-market for it.
These units are well-regarded as a compact power-distribution upgrade: the appeal is cleaner system organization, decent build quality, and the convenience of a single, serious accessory in a hi-fi rack. If the listing is complete and genuinely well cared for, the upside is straightforward — you’re buying a useful, long-lived piece at a price that already looks friendly.

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.
