FYI, I'm not sure if PS Audio manufactures the Premier level outlet anymore, though as you noticed, you still see them being sold. If I had to do again today I'd go with a Shunyata SR-Z1 outlet or one of the Furutech's.

I picked up one of these at the Melbourne AV show today from Cameron at Krispy Cables.
I've shoved it in the Hydra Talos for the time being. Would prefer to plug it directly into the GPO (wall outlet) but US plug configuration need only apply...need to find an adaptor. |

I guess its early days but it hasn't taken anything away that I've noticed. Maybe, I'll get another.

I received the Defender and plugged it into an unused outlet in the bedroom to run it in. The other outlet is used by a Monster AVS 1000 conditioner. Cable box, TV, receiver (used as headphone amp), and a wireless router are plugged into the AVS 1000. I could hear (and see) a positive difference right away (with the headphones too).
The next day I unplugged the Defender and took it to another location where an audio system was assembled. I plugged it into the unused outlet (the other outlet was used by an older Hydra 6). After a brief warm-up I noticed a similar, but more magnified positive difference. I would like to listen to this little guy for a few days to be reasonably sure of it's effect. |

I like it. It's a Shunyata sound sweetener for sure. I'm going to put another one in.

So you have one plugged into the back of your Talos and liked the difference it made? Enough that your buying another. Hmm, makes me think I shook try one out.

Hmmm... I thought it was redundant to the MPDA in the Talos and I remember reading somewhere (maybe from Caelin?) that chaining multiple MPDA's was not particularly useful.

I wouldn't mind a CG confirmation if he's lurking on this thread (i.e. Defender into Talos).... |

I remember reading something close to that as well. But based on Steve's results some benefit might be possible. But for me even if the results are not positive in my two channel system I would just place it in my HT system
