PSM156 Studio Master Mains Purifier

The PSM156 Power Conditioner builds on the success of the acclaimed PSM136, featuring symmetrically balanced circuitry and six fully independent outputs for optimal performance. With 52 independently tuned filter elements, it reduces noise while enhancing detail, dynamics, and overall system precision.

Experience crisper, more defined audio, with believable instrument timbres and a three-dimensional soundstage that extends beyond your speakers. The PSM156 allows your system to perform at its best, making every recording more engaging, immersive, and enjoyable.

• Includes your choice of the 2.0M Puritan Classic+ or Ultimate XX mains cable. Your mains cable is the most important power cable in your system. The Ultimate XX cable is the better choice for systems with highly resolving, reference-level components.

The Audiophile Man
“I was impressed by two things from the Puritan. The decrease in the amount of noise allowed me to hear more information, enhancing all frequencies over the soundstage. The improvement in clarity and focus also helped the music to flow and eradicated harmful frequencies that sometimes demanded hands over the ears. More than that, though, while noise was reduced, the dynamics were never reduced. Hence, the music retained its life and vigour. I never thought that the ‘treated’ music ever sounded dull which is a great tribute to the design. The Puritan PSM156 is an ideal method to treat mains noise and distortive elements, letting you hear more music which is, after all, the point of hi-fi.”

“On the playground of our resident hardware, I personally see no compelling reason to spend more on AC power filtering even for our top system. The PSM156 hits very hard but within the 2019 status quo of its segment, remains priced very fair. That makes it an exciting highly commendable discovery!”

“We always seek to provide honest great value with solidly engineered products designed to last a very long time indeed. There are enough regular new flavors of every other component out there crying out for our attention and cash, a mains management solution should be a buy-enjoy-but-just-leave-it-there investment.”
