All that is true enough but it seems to be falling into the category of a difference that is not a big deal which again mirrors what other people have said concerning AC regenerators ... I have had musicians listen occasionally to my system and if their home playback is very mediocre their reaction is far more pronounced. No they are not fooled it's real but they don't say that it's an inconsequential difference...
I think it is a bit off the mark, frankly, so to clarify what I said:

Firstly, the musicians approach the sounds made by the audio system in a cognitively different way; it is a different mind-view. So, to ask "Is this a big deal or not?" is not quite correct, because the musician's mind is actually looking at different things. It is a bit like, let us say you are looking an oil painting and you are trying different light bulbs for displaying it. And you ask your artist friend to help pick the bulb. They maybe pick out a bulb that has a very blue hue. You object by saying clearly the other bulb has more true-to-color spectrum, to which they reply: Oh I know but the blue bulb really brings out the brushstrokes. When I see those, I understand the way it was painted and what the artist was up to far better.

Also, I do not think Pure Power regenerator is necessarily not a big deal, or I would have not been waiting unhappily for years to get my replacement unit. I would have just got something else, given up, and moved on.
