And it seemed interesting enough to me to want one, right there. And, one showed up on Audiogon, (rare enough, cheap enough, close enough and I had the money: Home Run) So I decided the Universe wanted me to buy it. (I was close enough to pick up instead of ship. And for an 80 pound giant double boxed toy i didn't need anyway, not having to pay shipping was very good.)

The possible problems with causing transformer buzz IS an issue with the PS Audio P600 in some frequency modes. (and was generally the reason IMO it was dropped in later models. the hassles of customer questions and worries etc. was not worth the bother apparently) But other than that, the higher frequencies of A/C seem to be mostly smoothing out the 'ripple' in the power supplies of the equipment, thus smoother sounding. No complaints of burned out trannies came up.. so i would guess that is not an issue.

I find a bit higher is great. The only thing is i cannot use the 'tube MultiwaveII, with the altered frequency at the same time. So i am in the process of deciding which items are better with the higher hz, and which with the multiwave form. And then splitting them so the freq items are on the P600 and the Multiwave on the PPP.
Since the altered frequency can only be done by a regenerator, and the "P" series PS Audio were the only ones doing it, I am glad i found one to play with.
I just took out the Monster AVS2000 (White Elephant, in black) as it always has degraded the sound a bit. i just wanted to see the total amperage of my system (11 amp average use, 9amps of those via the Furman with amplifier and all video on it, and only 2amps via the P600 with everything else, which runs very cool with that load)
As far as heat goes in transformers, the higher frequencies do not seem to make any difference at all. (where I understand lower DO cause a problem. Though higher than double may also be an issue. The P600 is limited to up to 120 hz, and the reviewer said 90 is good.)
And the Teflon tweak of putting a bit of Teflon on the A/C plug blades, squished to the bottom of the blades, DOES make stuff (slightly) cooler, and lowers electricity usage (also slightly, 2 to 3%). How? it can do this... i am at a loss to explain. (but i am putting the Teflon on EVERYTHING with a plug, the frig, the Air conditioner, EVERYTHING!)
It will take awhile to settle on a frequency..
