So you using the stock C19/20a cable the 1512 comes with? Then using your ultimate for a connected device?
I'm using Ultimate XX cable from wall to PSM1512. Then NRG Custom Cable ‘The 5’ (x1) to the Feliks Envy and NRG Custom Cable ‘The .1’ (x3) to the 3 Farad3 LPS powering the Dave. MY PC, VOIP phone, KEF Eggs, KC62 etc will be using normal cheapo cables.

Hope this is clear.

The Puritan units use a C19/20a cord as input from wall, then your normal 15a inputs for all devices. So a 15a Ultimate wouldn’t connect 1512 to wall outlet.

Ok got it. So if I have 15A out of the wall, I can still use the 1512? It’s using 20A cable but still 15a receptacle? Thanks.

So which exact cable should I get if I have 15a out of the wall? Can you let me know the exact one? I am working with dealer to change the order. Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone. I switched the cable to 20A.

“The 1512 has a C19 plug (20amp) on the 1512, but is terminated at the well with a 15 amp wall plug.”

the puritan had helped with the slight hum from the envy? I also own one and have similar problems.

Did it stop transformer buzz for you? Mine is really minor. Haven’t tried it yet. Probably in a week. I’ll let you know

I haven't bought the puritan yet, my plan is to pick it up end of the week. I hope it fixes the humming.

How does the Puritans work. Are they active filters or passive?

They look really military grade sturdy quality.

I was thinking of getting a Furutech TP80s NCF but if Puritan PS106/DC is better, Im interested.

Anyone else have experience using the Ground Master with their PSM?

I ask as I’m thinking of adding one (the standard/ ground rod version) to my PSM156 order.

Reason being: a) an electrician once told me my house has a poor earth connection; and more importantly b) I’ve had great success with these little $20 AliX ground tubes.

Why buy PSM156 over the PSM136?

Whats the big difference?

Hmm, got the Puritan PSM1512 in today. Plugged everything in. My Feliks Envy transformer buzz is gone. Silent.

I do notice a change in the sound. Debating if the dynamics are affected. I hear a very nice veil over the music. Treble lost some sharpness I am used to.

Letting everything burn in. Wasn't sure if I am choking performance by plugging in the Farad3 into the Puritan. Will need to experiment later.

Sounds good. Everything is less offending but I may be used to some of my prior distortion? Or the Farad3 is not getting the full signal to work its magic? We shall see.
