All of Romy's musings and tests on the relation between the electrical characteristics of PurePower units and his objective and subjective sonic impressions are not applicable to the PurePower 230 volt models. The difference in operating voltage makes a significant difference in electrical performance characteristics even though the technology is essentially identical.
Well, I beg to differ.

There is a HUGE difference in SQ between AC and battery with my new 230V model. The AC is edgy and sharp (pretty much unlistenable) whilst the battery is smooth and harmonically rich.

I'm hoping to have my new dedicated mains installed in the next couple of weeks (weather permitting - the installer is not prepared to dig a 10-foot hole for the Chem Rod when the ground is frozen) and will see if this helps bring the AC performance in-line with that of the battery. Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy the PurePower through its battery... though I agree 100% with Romy that this should not be the final solution and certainly not what I paid for.

Mani.
