We have long spoken of the "electrical" event as something that is +/- "routed" by cables rather than being "contained" by the cables.
Whatever the "source" or "nature" of the electricity, the gear does use it. Sometimes "conditions favor electricity" that we manipulate for hi-fi.
Maybe the PP2000 somehow conditions either the electricity or the immediate "atmosphere" such that it "resembles" "favorable conditions"; or maybe the PP2000 does something to or with the electricty or atmosphere that makes it "less vulnerable" to "degradation" under "less-than-optimal" conditions?
Judging by the almost endless permutations of sound wrought by "electricity", it seems likely that there are several factors at work that result in the performance we "recognize". Clearly, a "perfect wave form" is no guarantee of what we audio-psychos accept as "good electricity", even though perfect waves" have not been shown to be a sonic problem, either.
I have long thought that humidity and atmospheric/ionic charge were factors, although I have not done anything empirical to delineate or connect either of these "factors" to signiture sound(s), with and/or without other "electrical" considerations. Shouldn't be too tough to take some readings and keep a log...
How these "external factors" may affect our listening is anyone's guess at this point, although the relationship between atmospheric/ion charge/"count" and "mood" has been reasonably established, I think, and I believe these are also under consideration in establishing super-conductance and super-vision and super-listening connections; anything where "optimal conductivity" is desired.
