Bill, what I find interesting is not the fact that the units vary one from the other in terms of measured performance, or each in its (in)ability to charge its own battery, rather I notice that you seem "happy" with the performance of all the units in your system, irrespective of their [measured] "faults", and you do not describe any problems or even any differences, unit to unit, in the way
the units are doing their respective jobs in your system. May we assume from this that, practically speaking, all units are equal in terms of aural in-system performance, and that all are equally acceptable, now that the "delivered bad" one is charging its battery, after all?
It almost sounds as if the "problems" (other than the totally debilitating problems) with these units are not getting in the way of their positive contribution to the the sound of a given system that can reveal the contribution. If this is so, so far, then there would seem to be a "slop factor" built into the design and/or execution of the PP2000.
A big slop factor would certainly bode well for APS (and its customers), since it has not escaped notice that one of Bill's two units was not functioning properly when and as he received it; ie, maybe APS can yet get by on a 50% self-spec failure rate, as long as the unit none-the-less "gets the job done".
Bill, I hope you will refine your observations. If nothing else, I hope you will comment on any differences (or not...) between wall and battery sourced power via the PP2000.
Best regards,
