Post Subject: The PurePower devise - the First ActionPosted by Romy the Cat on: 11/28/2007

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 work appropriately (have had them all). When Power is good then it good, when it not good then the only solution is to be disconnected from the Grid and to have 10kW diesel-generator up and running, which I unfortunately can’t use in my urban life…. Recently I discovered a world of new contemporary regenerators with class D amplification. I am researching this direction now..."

The “First Action” I proposed to call the APS’s regenerator taking care about all mysteries of bad electricity. The PurePower does here extremely wonderful job. The new voltage gets regenerated and it looks like APS unit has least own sonic influence while it does so. (The Second Action is neglected for now)

If the APS unit is properly used (very important cloth and I’ll talk about it later) then it is the only known to me power devise that has no negative influence to bass (practically all of them do screw my bass), does not affect dynamics (here is where class A/B regenerators suck big time), do not reformat harmonics (god luck with that), do not impact frequency response of powered devises (practically all of them do). The First Action – the Sound of regenerated electricity - is next to perfect with this devise. I say “next to perfect” because the PurePower’s Second Action is very deeply amalgamated with First Action and in some cases, despise of the fact that there is NO MORE BAD ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS but the total resulting Sound might not be where I would like it to be.

I, you, we should not be overly exuberant with sonic perfection of PurePower unit in First Action – that transparent perfection still has own toll – I will talk about it further in my article:  “APS PurePower Survival Guide”. Still, I feel that pretty much only because the PurePower unit PERFECTLY preserves TTH characteristic of powered audio components the APS’s regenerator should be treated as very valuable candidate for admiration and functional imitation. If not the presence of the Second Action then by using the APS’s regenerator the problems with bad sounding electricity might be closed for good.
