Sure, there's plenty APS or any hi-fi component "manufacturer"/seller won't say, and one of the most common misunderstandings they quietly exploit is the die-hard audiophile notion of the "universal component", the old "plug-and-play" gambit.If t...

I think is a bit sad to see a company representative that chimes in only on the defensive in an attempt to do a little damage control and spin things in a positive light in the hopes that potential customers visiting this site are not dissuaded from ...

It is kind of unbelievable in away: I have for a week the same stable sound. That is a good sign. The less good sign that I need to do something else in order to take sound where I would like it to be.
Without doing anything I like what I am gettin...

A few weeks back I created an account at AA’s PS Audio forums. I was uploading there a few posts and had no problems. I presumed that the sponsorship of the PS Audio is kind of shielding me from the idiocy of the assholes what runs AA site. Eve...

Yes, the main system often seems to require too much of an "investment" to make using it worthwhile, or even realistic.I confess I have let my mind wander in this direction:http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=a5+audioengine&tag=googhydr...

[quote user="drdna"]Now fully five years after the original PP2000 was in my system, then subsequently stopped working and was sent back for repairs to the manufacturer. An unfortunate series of events involving the Chinese subcontractor resulted in ...

Lucian,
If your system draws a steady 500W, do not use LC filtration and if you would like to buy 700 model then you might reconsider it and look at 1050 mode or 2000 model. The more load you have on this thing is the better result is, I perso...

First of all, guys, can you name your posts on more identifiable way?
A few comments I would like to make. I heard that the new revision of PP2000 has fans that do not run at full speed all time but have the speed of fans driven by thermosenso...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not measure the distortions… [/quote]I had a conversation with the APS guys. They clime that their units do not act like my unit and that no one of their previous customers informed them that their units at a fe...

Well, spent a few more hours to listening Avicenna. Although it has much better sound then from the wall but there are a lot of moments in this sound that I do not like. It is kind of freakish and demoralizing as Avicenna feeds system with absolutely...

I appreciate audio devices that instead of demonstration of own qualities force you to think about sound. The new Purepower 2000 is turning to be such a devise. I have so many ideas and so many thoughts with the sound the 2000 produces that I truly s...

Yes, of course. And since we are supposed to be educated and sophistocated people here, you might thnk we'd have recognized and prepared for all this ourselves, before forking over $3k for "results".But the Fact is that many of us are so sick o...

[quote user="drdna"]After many unanswered e-mails, I got word from APS today, who said they have had a few customers with similar issues and that it seems to be system dependent. However, they also said that they were working on a way to fix this tha...

It's kinda fun every now and then to try to figure out a BEP solution on my own. The following will illustrate why I don't do this very often...One problem that is very hard to deal with is efficiency, in the broadest sense. Without "hi-tech" compr...

PP2000 currently has glitch. However in comparison to the sound my system produced before PP2000 in system, I can never go back to wall power. Even prior to APS I had system plugged into Richard Gray units. The gray crackling artifacts have been r...

Thank you Romy, I wasn't aware of the 30 day trial...I though only PS Audio had this policy with power regenerators...The 25% load is a nice tip, thanks again, I trust you judged this value according to personal tests and measurements. The sad news i...

What I have is a subwoofer made by ACI; no information on the amplifier used other than it uses a two prong power cord, no ground. When I hooked it up to the APS 2000 I got a very loud pitched hum. Taking if off the 2000 and plugging it into a...

[quote user="Beav"]I ran quite a few types of gear with the 2000 I tested. It was quiet as a mouse with all of them. So if you're having that kind of high frequency buzzing coming from the unit itself I'd say it needs to be returned and looked at ...
|
|
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 i...
|
|
Another thing to think about along with larger batteries for the PP is the charging process, which needs to be "shaped" to make best use of the particular battery or batteries, including maximizing battery life. Also, if the stock PP2000 uses se...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you consider APS PurePower as just a power treating or regenerating devise then I feel that the whole “kinky” point of this devise might be missed. We get horrible sound with bad electricity and we are accusto...

Yes, it's a l-o-n-g thread, but everyone should read it from the beginning. My previous point was/is that the terrible "QA" and CS have been ongoing, since Romy first began airing his dealings with this company and their products, years ago. Romy l...

Yes, I should try to stay focused, here.
It is indeed very true and very important to remember that the subject of this thread is not and never will be - I hope - APS, or any other "brand" - of anything.I suppose I tend to confuse APS not onl...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, I have noticed the same thing with the phono stage power supplies, that the big multi-chassis units with dual 100 lb. PS get no overall sonic advantage, all said and done. So how do we deal with the stupid, lousy AC that is...

Hello PNCD ! Your post makes very interesting reading and shares some similarities with my own experiences.I moved from Germany to Ghana, West Africa, in August,2010.And the poor quality of the power from the grid (fluctuations,brownouts and outages)...

Adrian, you have not posted any updates about the unit apart from the hum issues, so I am wondering if the unit remains in your system mostly because you paid so much for it.For instance, have the HF problems you mentioned earlier been resolved? If ...

I suspect the APS does more or less the same that my friend proposed. It probably has a class D amp which makes some kind of PWM with a so so smoothing circuit, hence the tooth saw trace of the voltage line, some PS which probably is a swit...

[quote user="Paul S"]I suppose there are the usual strong strictures against it, but has anyone tried lifting the (3rd wire) ground only during wall-powered operation? Best results, whatever that might mean, would require a "dedicated home run" for ...
