Owner’s Reference
GCPS High Current Power Supply
Once your new GCPS is unpacked, you’ll need to fi nd a convenient place to set it.
There are several ways to mount the GCPS: on the fl oor behind the equipment, or simply on a shelf
next to the preamplifi er.
If the GCPS is to be placed on the fl oor or carpet, make sure the unit is not going to come in contact
with water or cleaning solvents.
The GCPS can benefi t from aftermarket isolation devices such as cones, spikes and Sorbothane
pads.
Once you have chosen the location for the GCPS you can use the supplied AC power cord to connect
it to the AC wall receptacle to get started, or you can use an aftermarket power cord and receptacle.
We strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio xStream Power™ AC cable and a PS Power Port™
AC receptacle to feed the GCPS power. While the supplied power cable is adequate for the task of
setup it is not going to provide the best performance. Choosing any xStream Power cable will make
a signifi cant performance improvement over the stock power cable. An xStream Plus would be our
recommendation.
It is further recommended that you power the GCPS with a PS Audio Power Plant if possible, or a
UPC-200 or Ultimate Outlet if not. Power conditioning with the appropriate equipment will further the
benefi ts of the GCPS High Current Power Supply.
The GCPS also comes with a connecting cable to connect to the GCP-200 preamplifi er. This cable is
specially designed to work with both pieces of equipment and it is important to always use this cable
between the two pieces of equipment. The connecting cable needs to be twist locked into place. See
the Quick Start Guide for instructions.
