I called to Audience and I spoke with their sales manager.
It was very little that I did not expect and I let him to run his sales pitch. Or course it never intended to be a commercial product, they did it for own home use but it was so good that they were forced to make it available to public. Holly BS as usually. The guy poses himself as he knows everything about the adeptResponse conditioners but what I asked specific question he was ruining his mouth but was expressing absolute nonuse. I was listening him and interpreted him what he said “ with adeptResponse power amplifiers sound like they are 10 % more powerful”. I asked him what it meant. He gave me his explanation that was laughable. I asked him 3-4 more time how an amp after his filter might “sound more powerful”. I even asked him to describe how subjectively one amp sound more powerful then another. Eventually he said the does not know and that was what he was told to say. Poor guy, he told me that if I need more evidence that his adeptResponse “works” then I need to read HP review or to study “multiple posts at AudioAsylem.com”. Oh, boy!!! I do not have any animosity to the guy, the pure thing die not understand what we was dealing with. So, I pretty much discard what he said.
From what I understand and very much in contrary to what that sale guy was trying to convince me the adeptResponse is just a regular capacitive filter. The sales guy was insisted about the super-isolation quality of adeptResponse but it is all BS, he did not understand what he was talking about.
In really I do not care about the adeptResponse power factor correction functionality adeptResponse has no idea what kind load it will be driven. The PP2000 has own factor correction functionality. The BS about super massive cooper ground bus terminal and about 5K price tag sound too ridicules to me to take seriously. What the story about adeptResponse boils down is that they use their own Auricap to shunt signal. Auricap are good capacitors, not the very “Best in the World” and the sales guy was insisted but Auricap are out there along with a handful of the best caps. If the adeptResponse would help to suppress the returned noise from PP2000 but would not affect Sound negatively then it would indicate that a use of good quality of capacitors might work out.
I think if adeptResponse will be able to make PP2000 parallel-able then it would make sense to get a few 200V Auricaps and to shunt PP2000’s input with them. That will be all that necessary and it will cost $50. I still a bit defensive and I do not think that very good caps would make the full difference but I would certainly am willing to try.
