Post Subject: Distinction between PurePower and a commercial on-line unit?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/21/2009

Hi, gravetones
I asked myself the same question many time and even bought a few years back one of the APC on-line power supply. It is unquestionable that PurePower is an adaptation of a regular commercial on-line power regenerator and all that PurePower did was accommodating it for audio use. The minimization of noise, handling high inarch currents I guess was one of their objectives but I sure there was many others. As I understand PurePower works for a few years to improve whatever they do – effective or now, true or false but I am sure they know more about sound of the regular on-line power regenerators then the people at APC. Still, it absolutely does not mean that tomorrow you will not buy another off the shelf commercial regenerator that turn out to sound very good.
I have written about it before – the problem with standard commercial APC units that it is imposable to try them. I for installs would like to have 5-10kW, big and noisy PurePower-like regenerator that would be sitting in basement. With PurePower, paying approximately twice what you would pay for a commercial unit you have change to try it, return it, bitch about Sound of the unit and be benefited with whatever PurePower did with it to make it accommodateably -better for audio use. With a standard commercial on-line devise you will not have this option. A few years back I did spent a LOT of time with APC higher echelon support over the phone and I was not able to find people worth taking about audio side of their regenerators.
I think your question shall be an induction for PurePower that they need to put hands out of ass and publish a position paper that would highlight the distinction (in their view) between the PurePower and a commercial on-line unit.
