Strength:
Audio and video enhancements
Weakness:
Reliability
Buyer beware. The power conditioner improves the audio and picture quality at impressive levels. However, it has critical faults and I will never buy another PS Audio power regenerating product again. A couple of the outlets have stopped working. Two of my components will not operately properly when plugged into any of the outlets. It sometimes gets hot and shuts down. I've sent it for repairs once, and the same problems have come up again. Of all my equipment, this is the one thing I wish I had not purchased.

Strength:
Will dramatically improve the sound of your existing audio equipment.
Weakness:
Runs very hot. Owned a P300 for 5 years that provided my source components with clean regenerated AC, and really wanted to connect my 150 watt integrated amp to it, but it ran too close to the P300's cutoff point. The P500 handles noy only my source components and my integrated, but also my two subwoofers, and has not used more than 50% of it's capacity.

Strength:
Dramatic improvement in sound and lowering noise floor.
Weakness:
Runs hot, but that's the nature of the "beast", considering what it does.
I owned a P300 for 5 years using it on my source components and was amazed on the sonic difference it provided. Tried hooking my integrated amplifier up to it, but it was about a 100W short of handling the load. Bought the P500 so I could give the amplifier the same clean signal in. The P500 is astounding! It is providing my CD player, 150W integrated amp and 2 subwoofers with a clean input. It has never used more than 40% of it's load capacity in AUTOWAVE. The sonic benefit is dramatic in all octaves. This is a must addition to your stereo system, before upgrading any other components. Thanks Paul!
