Yep, that looks like very bad. I am sorry folks you get hurt. I still get my two PP2000 of vintage wherever I got them, they are spectacular and I love them greatly. Since I got them to work properly (after the shielding accident) I have no single complain and both of the units do run dally, one for audio and another for video rooms. I do feel like with my units as butteries get older the effectiveness of the decoupling might slightly drop but it is very difficult to make this assessment objectively. I do plan this year to replace the battery and kind of slowly am looking for a souse to get them less expensive.

I am very interesting about the new PP2000+ but I did not jump into the PP2000+ bandwagon as I did anticipate some debugging period with is apparently not over. The overheating that “hifigirlgeek” reports is kind of ridicules as this is very essential core design of the units and I can’t imagine that they missed it. I do not doubt the hifigirlgeek narrative but I just do not believe that it all that simple. Perhaps there were some specific conditions of the hifigirlgeek’s use or some flow with his septic unit, or perhaps with the production batch. It do not believe that it not been the fundamental flow of the entire design – perhaps I am naïve but it never happens this way with electronics.

To hire a technician to add the extra heat sink - that is very bold and in my view is incorrect move. I would not go for this as increase the radiating surface just cure symptom but will not address the reason why the unit was overheating. What surprised me is why hifigirlgeek went to the trouble to fix his unit but not just returned the unit as defective. The fact that hifigirlgeek reports that his PP2000+ does not provide effective sound improvement do suggest me that the unit is defective. The PurePower looks like still sell with 30 days free trail, so why not to return the unit if you feel that it is does function in compliance with specifications or expectations?

If cause I do not blame anybody but PurePower but there is a very ugly egotistic tune in my soul that make me very happy that I did not get the new PP2000+ units year and that all of those “new model problems” happen with somebody else not with me. I know, I sound like a dick but it is what it is and as much as I am itching to have the manual bypass that PurePower made available in the new units I am still sitting on fence and waiting when the new units get stable in operation/support and will sound reportedly good. I do plan to try the new PP2000+ units them.
