PS Audio Power Plant/regenerator thread, P3 / P12 / P15 / P20

A kind friend let me borrow his P3 regenerator so I can stop waffling on a power solution, while I audition I will not be able to run my full rig due to the power consumption ceiling and having six outlets. So I have to make a compromise on what components to prioritize:

Outlets:

  1. Pre-amp
  2. DAC (always on)
  3. DAC (always on)
  4. Tube headphone amp
  5. SS headphone amp

This leaves me with one outlet left for the following:

  1. CD Transport
  2. Pi2AES
  3. Turntable (if so, then really need two outlets to include the phono stage)
  4. Extra SS or tube amp slot

If I decide to go the regenerator route, I will not have this issue as I will go for P12, or used P10.

Which of the above should occupy the sixth slot? The two DACs must be connected at all times otherwise it takes a day or so to get to optimal temp.

Appreciate any opinions, thank you.
