Post Subject: Purepower battery packPosted by steverino on: 12/27/2011

Romy says " I do feel that enter charging circuitry is the biggest liability of PurePower unit... It would be a hideous discovery if it turns out that the PurePower unit sounds so good…. because the distortions from changer."

Sorry for the potentially ignorant question since I do not yet own one. Can't you remove the battery pack from the unit and see what the sound is like? According to the Pure Power web site the battery packs are optional so I would think the unit's recharger would be inoperative in such circumstances. Based on your and other comments I wouldn't even buy the battery pack.

Why are recharging circuits even located within the PP chassis but instead part of a battery pack chassis connected by a cable and toggle switch or something? This is the problem with these audio manufacturers. They constantly add bells and whistles and then stuff them in the same case.At least if they would put them in a separate optional box their side effects might be more muted. Every non essential circuit should be put somewhere separate.
