Romy, Even you do not believe that the Pure Power device is a panacea. If you did you wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars , hundreds of hours and hundreds of posts here trying to figure out why it didn't work properly straight out of the box. I'm not saying that it didn't do some positive things; just that there were many issues. You took a promising device and spent a hell of a lot of time and effort figuring out how to operationalize it (make it work outside the lab). How could they remotely duplicate at a hotel what you did ??

Second, high-end vendors think of their products as their BABY. It may look funny but it's their baby. Now imagine you went up to proud parents and said "Hey your kid doesn't look that marvelous. But if you stand him/her under this special light that I have right here then your kid will look fabulous."

Third high-end vendors don't want people to think that their product requires any help or improvement above whatever compromised tincan they have tried to market.. Look at all the tube amp vendors who stick the world's worst tubes into their audition units. They want you to buy the more expensive tin can in their product line not some other guys tin can. You have devoted dozens of posts to that very topic.

Fourth it's entirely possible that the Pure Power unit will reveal how lousy their audio show system is. Haven't we all had the experience of sticking some better component into the system and suddenly hearing more bad stuff? That applies even to LPs and CDs. As my system improved it changed my opinion of what recordings were good or bad.
