Romy ; One question for you ; Does the pure power unit raise its temperature (gets hot) when youre using it ? or is it always cold ? I do not know what kind of IC they are using but I suspect they are "new generation ones??" I was making my self these question because the unit I bought use very few SMD chips. Lastly does PP2000 produce their own chips or are they using 3rd party ones?

Joaco, nope the pure power runs cool and do not gets hot. It is in a way irrelevant and has to do with surface of heat sink and the way how the heat sinks get ventilated. I think Pure Power caught a good configuration between fan noise and temperature, so good the both of them is not a problem in new units. About the SMD chips – I do not understand your question. You can’t count chips and to make any judgment with knowing at least block schematics of a unit. I do not have it for PP2000. My engineers did made a comment that PP2000 if it properly made shall have 3 time less pars then it has but I do not know how correct it is. I do not think Pure Power made own chips. They might write own logic (software) for generic chips, as anybody else do, but I do not think that they can afford, of have any needs for that matter, to make own hardware. I do not know what kind out switching amp Pure Power use. I think that they have this own discrete amp that is spread around their motherboard, well not their own but by the company that do the PP2000 for them. I did not see that they took one of many off the shelf class D amps and use it in PP2000.
