Post Subject: Electricity: what is beyond of APS Purepower?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/4/2010

Looking at Paul keep barking at the APS "success" I become to think what would constitute success in electricity battle. From one side the sonic result that PP2000 demonstrates is an indication that he battle is over. Is it?

Sure the PP2000 as a devise would need to have many enhancements: sane indication of load and voltage, on fly bypass, more stability against different load, perhaps lower distortions, pilot generator, and a few more. But the conversation is not about a unit that does the job but rather about the idea. Do we get maximum what we can get from electricity when we use good sounding PP2000? This is complicated question.

Partially I will be trying to answer this question trying my 60hz-60hz isolation motor-generator. However there is absolutely no assurance that it will be good result and therefore methodologically it is not kosher test. I would say a full buttery powered playback with a LOT of buttery headroom would be more kosher approach. Unfortunately as soon we see a fully buttery power playback then we see 3W PP amp driving a single Fostex driver….

So, I wonder, is any way to conceptually define for ourselves what better power could do. Is it possible that the good sounding PP2000 has own masking effect and to get playback without it would require a deferent ways to deal with electricity? My playback not where I would answer those questions but I think the questions shall be raised…
