OCD Mikey sells them. (www.11stereo.com) But you'll be able to find a few more dealers with a simple Google search.

Email Brian (the US Distributor) for pricing and dealers.

OK. Thank you for answers,,

But I have a doubt:
Which is the voltage input and output of the Puritan?
If I turn on it in 220 volts I will can have a output voltage with 120 volts? is it possible?
Or If I Turn on it in 220 volts necessarily the output voltage will be 220 volts?

Thanks>>>

Archon Audio who is in Chicago like the US Distributor ships quickly and probably has access to the most stock.

I've always found the US distributor to have what I want on hand and to ship quickly. I was also able to order a 3m Classic Plus cable in black sheathing from the US distributor. The stock color is brown, or "copper." The only downside of getting things directly from Brian is that he uses Venmo, and for a larger order the payment has to be split across two or more days because Venmo has a $2,500 daily limit.

Which is the best upgrade, ultimate cable or groundmaster city?

[newzooreview]

I have not tested the Ultimate vs. Classic+ cable. Adding the groundmaster (not city; I installed a grounding rod) improved things nicely in my system, and the groundmaster (or city version) benefits everything connected to the Puritan.

One of the improvements in the Ultimate cable is the RFI insulation, so using that on source equipment (like DAC or PreAmp) might be the most cost-effective approach. But in terms of most benefit for the price, the groundmaster (or groundmaster city) is likely the best option.

I'm looking to purchase the 156. is the cable upgrade worth the money? Also does anyone have any suggestions of a dealer who may discount this to some degree or am I destined to pay full retail?

[marvda1]

I heard the Groundmaster City is like 90% of the groundmaster.
I just ordered the Groundmaster City for my psm156.  Thought about the Groundmaster but my soil has a lot rocks and would never be able to sink a copper rod that deep.

I was wondering if anyone finds the PSM156 or PSM136 bright, thin, dry, or sterile?

Also Curious if anyone ever tried this:  https://www.onfilter.com/ac-emi-filters-af-series

It seems to remove alot of EMI without raising impedence.

Woops.  I am a new member and forgot to introduce myself.  I am an Audipophile- not a dealer of any sort.

I am a headphone listener only- and I live in Jerusalem, Israel.

I have a wonderful audio system and as of late have taken an interest in mains filtering.  I currently have a Topaz Isolation transformer model 31 which has .0005 capacatance- the lowest of any isolation transformer ever made according to my limited knowledge.

I was wondering if anyone finds the PSM156 or PSM136 bright, thin, dry, or sterile?

Typically, power conditioners aren't described in those terms. They either limit current or don't, or provide a blacker background. However, cables and audio components can sound bright, thin, dry, and sterile. Of course, a good power conditioner can reveal system weaknesses.

[rsbrsvp]

Does the PSM156 increase output impedence- and if so- isnt that bad because it causes distortion?  Id appreciate an explanation.- in as non technical terms as possible from anyone who can assist.

[rsbrsvp]

I was wondering if anyone is using the Puritain cables to connect from the PSM156 or PSM136 ot their components and what their experiences are doing so relitive to other audio cabes?

[newzooreview]

Puritan makes power cables. Output impedance usually refers to the analog audio signal between components. I haven't heard of a power cable changing the output impedance of a device.

To answer your second question, yes. I used Puritan power cables from my components to the PSM 156, and it made a difference. The vibration damping and resistance to RF interference seem to work. The cable lowered the noise floor and made it easier to hear subtle details.

[marvda1]

Did you compare the Puritan cables to other cables on your components?

[newzooreview]

Yes, I had the system for several years before swapping in the Puritan cables. The PSM 156 and then adding Groundmaster (with dedicated 6 ft. grounding rod) made the most difference. The Puritan cables replaced Anticables, GR Research, Audioquest, and Reality Cables power cables. I would start with the PSM 156 and Groundmaster (or Groundmaster City) and then try a Puritan Ultimate cable on DAC or Preamp.

I did not do exhaustive A/B testing on a wide range of power cables, so I don't have much to offer beyond preferring the Puritan cables in my system compared to the ones I was using. But the biggest improvement was from the PSM 156 and Groundmaster.

[marvda1]

I have a groundmaster city due in tomorrow.
Next is the faceplate replacement so I can stand the psm156 on it's face.

Do the Puritain Ultimate cables make the presentation brighter or thinner?
