The Dutch publication Alpha Audio ran a positive review of the PowerPlant 12 power regenerator, calling it a “clean machine.” The review noted, “What [the] PS Audio [PowerPlant 12] does a great job of doing is disappearing into the system. A good component has that quality…No sharpness, no messiness, no smearing. The PS Audio simply disappears into the system…you forget it’s there. A strength we really appreciate.”
