I would not use the word analytical but rather mechanical. Analytical, at least to me implies sorter degree of investigative anal retentiveness and I do not feel that what is going on with my current PP3000 sound. Whatever it is does not hurt my fell...

Adrian, I do not make presumption about Chinese absolute level of audio but I rather am saying that their level of reference points is unknown. Yes, it is possible that a company would make intentionally of accidently a wonderful product. After all, ...

I figured out that my site turned out to be a quite good source for “PurePower’s Survival Guide”. It would be nice to abstract the PurePower into a separate subject but it is too much intervened with the thread of “Bad Electricity” that I decided to ...

This is a very interesting post Romy; thanks for putting this together and providing sample files. Looks like bad electricity is stuffing pillows into brass and covering strings with shellac. Or is it?* On the first chart I thought it would be intere...

[quote user="manisandher"] I'm assuming when you talk about the PP2000 here, you mean in AC regenerator mode. So what about in battery mode? Is it 100%, i.e. totally equivalent to "super electricity days" in your estimation?The reason I'm asking is b...

Steve, that's the thing that people just don't seem to understand, no matter how many times or how many ways it's called to light. Not having heard the effects of the PP units in a system I can only deduce from what I've been told here; but I've bee...

Ok, this is probably the most important section as besides all positive changes that PP2000 does to sound it does this one, the one that I call “softness”, and the values of this “softness” have to properly understood and interpreted.
The “softness”...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]the hum people apparently pick their own ground loops that too masked in noise without PP2000.[/quote]It is not exactly correct. There is 60 Hz hum eliminated by lifting the ground to the amplifiers. The neutral is connec...

[quote user="Paul S"] I think you mostly get where I'm coming from and you just don't like it, and your criticism is smart, and your points are well taken; but there are a few things going on here that just bug me that you either seem oddly comfo...

Looking at Paul keep barking at the APS "success" I become to think what would constitute success in electricity battle. From one side the sonic result that PP2000 demonstrates is an indication that he battle is over. Is it? Sure the PP2000 as a devi...

[quote user="cv"]Funny, I was just thinking about battery powering of amps... I know you have identified that the problem is more with the sources, but it would be interesting and quite feasible with the Melquiades and other components... wouldn...

Well, it is not really debating but “kind of” debating… A few days back I receive emails from guy who been using PP2000 for a few month. He informed me that very much disagree with my assessment of PP2000 contribution. He explicitly asked me do not p...

I am continue to look into Avicenna and trying to resolve a puzzle why when Avicenna is engaged the sound compare to the sound of the “Wall” looses dynamics. I do not compare Avicenna with PP2000 but rather I compare it with the sound of the Wall. Av...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi, yes i agree that my solid-state amplifiers were not best choice for compressio drivers, they were my second amps when electricity was bad, otherwise I use a custom made 300B from La maison de l'audiophile for my s...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In the light of my forthcoming move I deal nowadays with much more prosaic problems then NASA's Mars programs. I for instance am trying to strategize what alternative power I might use to power my sump pump and am tryin...

Vasyachkin,I see, you do not know yet how electricity affects Sound. It is OK. I wish people understand that my site is not for beginners. If you look in future into the relation between Sound and electrical effects then you might realized that your ...

Yesterday there was the worst I can remember in my long-lasting with electricity. I mean it was not just bad it was beyond any description. My preamp has 126 steps (near a db per click) and during an average electricity day I listening it at 50-60 sl...

Hhhhhhm, I am not sure that we need to directly associate the quality of electricity problems with benefits of LC filtration, particularly when SS rectification is used. The wider question is very interesting: if we need to make any design provisions...

Despite I have always paid my electricity bill on time for almost 50 years, yet I am glad and even grateful for days like yesterday and today: just me and the dogs in the house, and truly wonderful electricity. I am also grateful for my record colle...

Yes, Robert. I do have/had different isolation transformers, industrial and specialized - they do not work. I mean they do help and in some cases they help a lot but they have very instable and irregular results. Upon the specific problems that the m...

I wrote in “My Playback” section:
"Power-wise, I have 3 dedicated 20A 8ga lines, separate for my amplification, analog and digital chains. I do not use any power devices: filters, conditioners, regenerators, or isolation transformers – none of them ...

Just a suggestion. "Greenish pussy" sounds like a disease. You might try something like "enviro bunny". You didn't specify where all the solar devices are being hooked up? Are they hooked up to a junction After the drop to your house or Before the d...

HI Romy, thanks for the thoughtful reply. The electricity comment is interesting as today I put on some jazz music and the HF is very snappy, excellent! I feel like posting on AA to ask people's opinons if it's the electricity or if my concrete...

[quote user="drdna"] As I said before, the perception of the audiophile imaging and soundstage is really gone. [/quote] I think you might revise your view about imaging in future. No one cares about soundstage but with imaging it is a bit tricky. One...

OracleAV, I am not sure you understand
where I am coming from. For you, at this point, the relationship between sound
and electricity is circled around the bad PurePower company that took your money
and refuse to varnish coils or to enclose coils ...

I thought you would be freezing with the big system enjoying great sound, and maybe solving the mistery of good electricity and freezing weather!Have a great time!...

Hey, Wojtek, nice to hear it worked out for you. And what did Retsel think?Can you and/or Retsel say what you did not like about the un-Bud-ed Lowthers in the same installation(s) and what the improvements are?I have been uneasy about "mere" "i...
