As you can see in the "What about the 557 power amp resolution?" thread I'm having abit of a trouble with a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. PS Audio themselves states that if you are going to run amps on them, the amp need to be by itself behind it. I have broken that rule and have the whole front speakers and amps on the same PS Audio UO.

It worked well with my old Arcam amp, but when I connected the more powerful Meridian 557 Amp it is now restrained in it's presentation on higher volumes. Someone said that it might also be a result of having less dynamic reserves (capacitors) in the amp itself, I do not know how the 557 fares in that regard in comparison to Arcam Alpha 10p.
