Post Subject: The electricity and the new room setup.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/4/2010

Since I go the new version of PP2000 two weeks back I was operating under presumption that they will be sonically similar tothe PP2000 that I have had. I did not invest time or efforts to confirm this presumption partially because at that time I was finishing the acoustic treatment of my new room. Now as everything else in my room is done I can clearly “hear” that it was not the “problems with room treatment “but the problems with new electricity generators dramatically screwed many of the recent results. My problem with midbass not being too wide is turned out to be electricity problems. The problem with lower bas has nothing to do with lower bass itself but come from electricity. The depersonalization of tone that playback is severely exposed now is coming from the crappie sounding electricity from new PP2000. I would be worth to mention that I run only one PP2000 now, that one that I have for over year and the one that I unfortunately agree to convert to the new version.

So, ironically 5 days back I thought to close this thread and now the electricity is the most actually problem of my entire playback, again!
I think now the ball is in the PurePower’s court. If they would like to investigate what they did wrong then I would be cooperative but it is not my product and not my company and it would require a lot of time to deal with meaningful research. Meanwhile I have 3 regenerators that are not useful. I did send email asking them to retrofit my old PP2000 with the board that they removed from there last week. I hope they did not destroy it yet. I would like to keep my two other PP2000 but only if they sound properly working from AC and it would require to put in them the OLDER motherboards, which were not affected by the recent change. That is all presuming that PurePower has documented release notes and that they know to which version them can roll back safely. I have no idea what vintage of PP2000 sound fine. My was fine but it was almost 2 year back. I am not sure that PurePower will have two more boards of 2 years old units. The alternative will be to debug the current PP2000 production and try to make it to sound right. Do I need all of this? Will I able to settle down with my regenerator frustrations? A few days back I thought did but fortune was not on my side.

Once again my best intention turned out to be a failure.
