Description
Balanced Power Delivery by PLiXiR
In traditional non-balanced power delivery, line noise from the equipment and the mains leak to earth, polluting every chain in the system.
In PLiXiR balanced power delivery, noise from live and neutral are out of phase to each other and canceled out at the Earth point. This will drop the noise floor of your system dramatically. Music leaps out of your system from utter blackness. The tone of your system is more pure, and thus more revealing and natural.
Technology and Craft
The Elite Series balanced power conditioners features the highest grade power transformer from Noratel, the inventor and premier toroidal power transformer manufacturer. Customized to our exact spec, with proprietary XQ (eXtra Quiet) technology, the Elite balanced power conditioner provides the best noise isolation, power conditioning and optimal systems grounding for your hifi system in a single package.
Optional Cryo USA Duplex Receptacle (PLUS-D)
From our design and manufacturing of PLiXiR balanced AC power conditioners, we are always looking for better components to improve aspects of the sound which we value the most; neutral tone and true transparency. This allows equipment plugged into PLiXiR BAC to perform to their true potential.
The made in Japan PLiXiR PLUS-D Hospital grade USA Duplex receptacle is one such component. With copper alloy conductors for the Live / Neutral connections, a vibration damping thermoplastic body, a thick metal plate for reinforcement and other design elements, in its native form we find that it is what we are looking for fundamentally.
We then apply certain modifications to the outlet that improves the structural integrity and grounding further. The final unit then goes thru a deep cryogenic process to relax the stress accumulated. The resulting PLUS-D is the best USA Receptacle that we have tried, in terms of absolute neutral tone, true transparency and most importantly, delivers music naturally. These are sold as a step-up option to our standard and highly respected Japanese-made USA receptacle.
Other Features
Casing: Extra rigid aluminium vault casing – Thick precision extruded and CNC machined aluminium slabs form the casing for the PLiXiR Elite BAC 3000V. The bottom plate is a hefty 8mm thick plate of aluminium that anchors the whole casing.
Vibration Control: Isolated by Bfly Audio – Bfly Audio Master Pro-Feet Series isolation footers from Germany are installed onto PLiXiR Elite BAC 3000V. They isolate the Elite BAC 3000V from the ill effects of self and environmental vibration and contribute to the natural sound of the Elite BAC 3000V.
Master-crafted: Built and tested by Master craftsman — Each BAC is hand-made by a master craftsman. As much as possible, all electrical connections are done by point to point direct soldering with minimal use of connectors and joints that degrades sound.
Standard USA IEC Power Cable included.

- “The PLiXiR BAC 3000 did an excellent job of eliminating noise riding on the incoming AC, residual ground loops and interferences between connected components. This power conditioner provided a very revealing, pleasant and non-fatiguing listening experience and gets you a bit of Paradise….”

- “…..The Plixirs work so effectively and gently that I feel it brings better results than the PS Audio P10 power conditioner, a device which I think is already very good and transparent…..” Uwe Steiner, Germany

- “…the Plixir cleans up the power supply, you get the feeling that you are listening to a different sound system. What you heard earlier as an excellent sound “curtain” (i.e. flat) is now a colourful, lighted panorama of an unforgettable performance in the great Parisian Cathedral. A strong recommendation, also for the smaller Plixir models. Fidelity Magazine Aug 2018

“The dynamics were much better, the soundstage was deeper, and the background darker. All in all, the performance was one class better than without the Plixir. Even in the evening, when the power supply is quieter, one notices better structure in the playback.” Thomas Schmidt, Germany LPS Magazine Product of the Year 2018

“The Plixir Elite Series was noticeably superior in all aspects, sounding more open, faster, while retaining a solid bass foundation and quiet background. Unlike most upgrades that involve some kind of trade-off, this was an all round improvement and easy to recommend… ” Eric’s Hi Fi Blog Singapore, 2015

“My system never sounded so good as it does powered by the BAC 3000 ” Mark, Audiophile Consumer, 2019

“The Elite 3000 has only been in use for a few hour but improvement it made is staggering. Like what previous reviewer Edmund mentioned, sound stage height has raise, voice has grown larger. Background is so much darker and extend further backwards and It takes a while to get used to the sound as the tone certainly sounded different from my old conditioner. I guess this is what James has been referring to as Pure Tone.
I now believe that power treatment is the fundamental of every system and Elite 3000 is certainly a good choice considering its price to performance.” Kel, Audiophile Consumer, 2019
Mr. Tay, Audiophile Consumer, 2019 –
“Your Elite BAC 3000 power conditioner is performing very well with my stereo set-up. All the fine detail and nuance is maintained if not enhanced with the added bonus of a nice beefy base with tonality. The percussion tracks of the Dali CD1 was never a favorite of mine before. Just now, I actually sat through and listened in awe. Congrats on a great product!” Mr. Tay, Audiophile Consumer, 2019

“The Plixir Elite BAC 3000 is an essential and indispensable component in my Hifi setup. By providing a cleaner supply, it helps to create a lower noise floor and reveal more details from the music with no loss in dynamics.
In fact, the dynamics seems to improve especially when listening to classical symphonies between soft to sudden loud passages. This is probably due to improved details and transparency” Foo, Audiophile Consumer, 2019
