Spend a few hour last night and have all the things connected and laid out in the way how I think would be “properly”. It turned out to be noise and elegant. I changed the location of the components to make the shorter paths for power cables and for interconnect. Now it is all in their finals, well-thought locations. I have 26 power consumers, 26 power cords – too much for being sane. The playback now is all done – that is final and this is good. A few observations I still would pass.
I can’t say about Sound of 3 PP2000 regenerators. Everything is too new, too disturbed and POD cables need 2-3 days to calm down – now everything is bright and zippy. The PP2000 works stable, silent and with no heat. Each unit that runs Milqs is loaded at 28%, the third PP2000 that runs the rest of the system is loaded at 35% when absolutely everything is ON. In reality is never happen and during the normal use it will be 22-24% of loading. I would like to measure what would be the peak load when my ULF amp crank the loudest LF passage but the PP2000 own load meter is too inactivate. I am looking now to get old analog 3cH oscilloscope for $20 to see in real time if my PP2000 not broken yet. I do not think it is necessary or rational but no one said that I am a rational person. I am within my constitutional rights to exercise my stupid nerdiness, so let it to be.
About the things that I would like to be different. I kind of harassed the Purepower to make the remote control switches but since the units are sitting in the listening room, not in basement it becomes not as critical. Still I feel that remote control switches are a wonderful functionality and I am planning to use them. I think that Purepower shall make the small plastic remote condoles and accompany them with new units. I would like also to see on the PP2000 a monitoring station. This functionality is easy available on many another devises and in a standalone version if cost $5. So I would like to see min and max input and output voltage (including the peak voltage), the record what the unit went to bypass. This all will be deleted what the unit restated but I would like to see what the PP2000 doing while it is working. The real time distortion analyzer would be wonderful but it is not $5 but more like extra $20.
Another thing that I feel Purepower might improve is an indication. The PP2000 has very bright blue light indicating that unit is on. Then it has a very small and very dark green light indicating that the AC like is detected and engaged. In real world if to look from 10-20 feet the bright blue light overcome the dark green light and the green light is invisible. I would like to lights to be revered. I do not care if the unit is on – if is not then my amp will be off and I have enough light on the amps. What I would like to see on PP2000 what I glance on it from 20 feet is if PP2000 tracks the power line – I would like to see that dark and small green light. I would like also when the units goers in bypass to see a big red light. Alternately I would like to have option o have this big red bypass light to be resettable. It means that PP2000 went on, the bypass was activated and then PP2000 begin to track the power line. From this point I would like the red bypass light to track what PP2000 doe and if it go to the bypass even one foe one single period I would like the red line to stay on for a few second and indefinitely (it shall be configurable) . All of it cost virtually nothing, would have no impact to sound but would make PP2000 the more versatile power tool.
On another note, the biggest discovery that I have is that I need more interconnects but this will be a totally new subject.
