Secondly, they are pretty. Also, I no longer see speaker switches....what's with that ? Meters add form and function...seriously.
Thanks to PS Audio, I visited their show room years ago and they demonstrated their gears which I can't afford it even at second hand market. On the other hand, my local Lamborghini dealer wouldn't even let me seat as passenger to demonstrate their car. 😡
I gotta ask. So many of you are commenting about the price of and need for these components. Many are saying the mark up is extreme or the products are not worth the money. Yet, if you are a subscriber here you know that PS Audio is a high end company that favors the maximum disaggregation of the component chain. And if you aren’t a subscriber, you might bother to find that out before you comment. But regardless if you are not in favor of the approach or the value proposition, why are you watching these videos? I’m no PS Audio apologist… I find the FR 30s flat out ugly, I have serious doubts about the merits of power conditioners and regenerators, and I strongly dislike when Paul injects his politics into the channel, but none of this stops me from enjoying the channel and learning from it.
All amplifiers are fundamentally built the same, and while hand building, using premium components does increase the cost, it doesn't increase the cost proportionately to the asking price. In plain language it doesn't cost $15,000 to build an amplifier, even of the best quality and there are amplifiers that cost significantly less that will match the specifications of overpriced "audiophile" amplifiers
@@JonAnderhub No, it doesn’t cost $15k to build the amplifier. By Paul’s own admission it costs less and he adds a multiplier. I completely agree that amps costing half to one- third as much may sound indiscernibly different in blind listening. However, if there is an audience for PS amps as constructed and at that price, they will sell them. People obviously see value in them. You can buy a $50 Seiko quartz watch that keeps better time than a $30k Rolex. That does not change the fact that there is a huge audience for the Rolex. And make no mistake, while a Rolex has some precious metals in it, the technology of a mechanical watch movement has not changed materially in 70 years, so the mark up is very high there too. You may think paying for a Rolex is insanity, and you may not be wrong, but that’s besides the point. Why would PS, or any other company, deny customers a product they are obviously demanding, albeit in limited quantities? Would you subscribe to a Rolex CZcams channel or watch their videos regularly and constantly complain that they are no better timekeepers than a quartz watch? Well i suppose one might, but it would still be silly to do so, which was my original contention in this post.
@@JonAnderhub It's not just the cost of the parts, it's all the direct and indirect costs involved in buying the parts, storing the parts, issuing the parts, building the product, etc. Also, small lot sizes, supply and demand, etc.
@@YouSoundButtHurt These don't account for the absurdly high price. There are amplifiers with similar specifications and build that cost 1/3 the price.
In a properly designed amplifier there is no need to compromise with having dual monoblocks. Good circuit design and layout will keep the crosstalk far below levels that would be audible, and the only real conceivable reason would be possibly if you need 1kW+ of power output per channel. But for the vast majority of applications its a waste of resources and money with no tangible gains except for extra profit from being able to sell two of something instead of just one to a customer. The biggest source of crosstalk/distortion in most linears is likely to be the rectified audio that is imposed on the power rails since they are unregulated, and the PSRR degrades with frequency. If you want all the benefits of a monoblock in a stereo configuration but with better distortion characteristics, then go to a well-regulated switching supply that will also push all the noise into the ultrasonic region where it is much easier to deal with.
That is a whole different can of worms, but certainly one that is worthwhile learning more about. The Kiss Analog CZcams channel has a whole series about this subject. For those who are technically inclined and want to learn about this subject, these videos are a must to watch.
It’s not so much about the aspects you describe as much as it is about headroom and the amplifier having linearity with this kind of headroom. If you have ever heard this then I digress. Wattages in these incriminates make no real perceptible difference in their respective correlation to output in terms quantity which a lot of people get off on. That’s not how an amplifier works it delivers only what a loudspeaker requires and the rest goes into superb sound reproduction! I would digress into saying you could have 1 watt or even 50 or 600 watts of pure crap based on poor circuit execution. But these are definitely not in that category.
@@Channel-cm7yc The comment is not about headroom. It is about the merits of two power supplies versus one power supply, whereby possibly both configurations deliver the same total power at the same output voltage. The statement is that one regulated power supply can mitigate the cross talk issues that occur with one unregulated power supply. And thus, one regulated power supply is as good or even better than two unregulated power supplies. Within these design choices, you can then independently opt for any head-room you desire, much the same as that you can opt for different colors of the enclosure. But that is just off-topic.
I would rather trust the views of professional audio engineers and circuit designers. Life is a compromise and taste differs. To me, and my modest budget and system, the S300’s work really well. Even Paul admits his wife will not allow the huge Aspens in her living room.
@@PetraKann Well, it is a joke. I have 6 credit cards with a total balance of zero. I don’t use them but they serve a credit score value. Indeed I learned a lesson years ago not to use credit cards with those insane interests.
That 'Power Plant' = $10K ... properly designed Amps should be plugged straight into the wall outlet unless your power grid is malfunctioning. Then , get your electrical wiring repaired and updated
I own two BHK 300’s, and can guarantee anyone that the power plant neuters power. I’m willing to bet, the main reason the people who are touring will hear a noticeable difference, WITH THE SETUP in this video, is 100% related to that power plant. That power plant will bottle neck clean power. Individual direct power line/outlet connections are the best way to go with HIGH CURRENT amps like these. These BHK 600’s deserve a set of Electrostatic Speakers (2channel stereo) connected to a laptop with Tidal music MQA files a la MASTERS, playing.
Your dreaming Paul if you think I’m gonna swallow your reason for price point 😮and that’s pretty narcissistic view with the amount of great manufactures out there
How can you make that statement when you have no idea what their total business model may be? Their monoblock amplifiers could be "halo" products used as much for image and marketing as for revenue generation.
I would steer clear of their tech. I purchased a stellar DAC from them and the optical input has never worked properly. I sent it to them for repair and was basically advised that’s just how it is. It’s either cheap parts or poor software, either way unacceptable at this price point.
There's no scientific test data to back up the misleading idea that “special” or “audiophile” speaker wires or expensive cable make a noticeable difference versus affordable, good-quality speaker wires of the correct gauge. 99.9% of the time it's unsubstantiated claims and the difference really does not matter! Nothing you do to speaker wire with twists or wraps or reverse osmosis is going to make it transmit sound different or better.

"Almost profitable" What a load of bull yet again. For example you have loads of unused space in your facility.
yes the multiplier is 600% profit you forgot to mention 😂
Not kidding, I bet its closer to 1000%
There's no scientific test data to back up the misleading idea that “special” or “audiophile” speaker wires or expensive cable make a noticeable difference versus affordable, good-quality speaker wires of the correct gauge. 99.9% of the time it's unsubstantiated claims and the difference really does not matter!
Nothing you do to speaker wire with twists or wraps or reverse osmosis is going to make it transmit sound different or better.
Never actually listened, have you?
@@VideoArchiveGuy Actually I have because that is a part of testing these types of snake-oil claims.
It is easier to fool people then it is to convince them they have been fooled.
@@JonAnderhub The fact that you call them "snake oil" claims shows that you haven't listened to them or you would know they make large and obvious differences.
Man this channel has become so tedious, play some music and do us a dance instead paul
Yet here you are, spending time on it.
@@VideoArchiveGuy actually no, I read the title, sighed then left a comment, thanks for bringing me back here to write this, more sighs
(have a great day lol)
