Now I begin to understand your concern about putting these PP units far way from your audio components.

Have you found a safe Minimum distance for the PP from the system? (without requiring 500 shakti stones or 72 ambient field modulators)
You missed in my post one moment: “running with open PP2000 cover”. Running the unit with open cover is like to run a nuclear reactor without a containment chamber and half million tons of concrete. With normal closed box I did not detect any problems. BTW, in past the PP2000 box I think was better – they had some semi-soft rubber compound under the bottom of the top cover. The current units do not have it but the chassis still thick and heavy. I did not detect it had any influence to sound. In my old place I have it 3 feet from the rest of equipment, not I have probably 4-5 feet. I still would not advise to put your DAC on PP2000 or run 50 turns of phono cable around it. I would not put it in rack with the rest equipment unless it is VERY hard rack and you put it very much under the bottom. Anyhow, use common sense but it would be absolutely identical to any other switching power supplies. I have an alternative 12V switching power supply for my preamp (size of laptop PS) and if I use it right behind the preamp then I have a lot of brighter sound and my PS for preamp does perhaps 50mA, the PP2000 will do 15A…. Did you ever try to put your laptop PS while it charges batteries next to your tuner?
