Debating the everlasting Leo Tolstoy’s question “How Much Land Does a Man Need?”  I wondering how many and what kind PP I would need. I am debating options:  to get two more PP200 or one more PP3000. I wonder if anyone used two separate PP200 for right and left channels amps and made comparing to both right and left amps running from the same PP2000. If anyone has this specific experience and able to filter out from own assessment the fact that PP2000 will be more loaded in one case then in other, then please, share with me your findings.

Ok, I got my two more PP2000, not I have 3 all together and I need to find how to use them. My little celebratory mood with PP2000 is much shorn live and my old PP2000 flying back today to Canada for fixing the problem with the “fuzziness”. The PurePower folks promised to do it fast so, she will be back…

I did not measure the new PP2000 yet, in fact I did not run the system from 3 PP2000 yet – I did not have time to amuse myself with audio last night. What however, I had last night was a sort of disappointment that I do not know how to rectify at this point.

The PP2000 use that I use almost for 2 years was one of the first new PP2000 that PurePower produced. It is not too noisy but it has indicated own presence in a room. So, planning for two more units to drive my two 6-ch Melquiadeses I thought to place the a pair of PP2000 in the basement directly under the PP2000 Melquiadeses.  To do so I made holes in the floor for power cables and accommodated the stands for PP2000 under the floor. I have my electrician to run dedicated 20A lines to the future locations of the  PP2000  in the basement. Furthermore I stressed PurePower to make a remote control turn on/off options on my units, presuming to turn the Melquiadeses by remote turning on the regenerators – each Melquiades will be plugged in own PP2000. So, I thought and planed for everything but I got screwed in a way. The two new PP2000s that arrived turned out to be practically silent in operation. Whatever noise then make they are even comparable in noise with my two years old PP2000. Looking at this silent operation I ask myself why I need to put them in the basement - the can perfectly sit in my room next to the power amps.

So, now, presuming that my current old PP2000 will be upgraded to the silent status I need to revise where I would like my regenerators to stay, revising the location of the holes in the floor and the location of my dedicated 20A lines. The new silent operation of PP2000 is certainly not a bad thing but it does screw up my plans how I thought to use them.
