The PurePower folks visited recently a couple of my local audio guys and brought with them the new units. With all my admiration of their products, I was kind of if not skeptical but caution.  I told to Bill that if he tried the new PurePower 3000+ unit and if they do not blow then he needs to let me know. Furthermore, we had an agreement that if he feels that if it worth listening the new PurePower 3000+ next to my PurePower 3000 then he would let me know. Bill called and told me that I definitely need to hear the new unit…. to my pleasure and in a way to my disappointment.  Pleasure is to know that allegedly the new units do sound interesting compare to the older units. Disappointment is that now I need to go over the pain to evaluate the new units and to get some bottom of PurePower+ sound.

Well, to make the long story short I have in my listening room a lender of the brand new PurePower 3000+ and I am looking at it for 2 days, not pluging it in. I sent Amy tonight to play her quartets and was planning to give to the new PurePower 3000+ some listening but then deseeded to spend some quietly time with myself, not harassing my ears with audio frustrations.  So, it is an evening of tranquility with no concerns of electricity…

I met PurePower’s Richard and his wife. He did some listening in my room but we did not pay with their new units. Richard told about the company, history, the problems they had, plans, straggles, how they dealt with all many issues that a typical for small scale high-end manufacture. They are foe sure in tough business. PurePower is not Magico. They are not rich industrial investors who just found out that they now can cash on “making audio”. They are pretty much a family business who does it fully-wasted, considering the industry and considering the complexity of this product I would not like to be in their shoes…

Richard did not strike me as somebody who was looking for any advanced musical or audio interests. He was rather practical, business-oriented person, which is perfectly fine. He did demonstrated quite high confidence in his new unit, which was very nice to see.

There was a very interesting conversation. I persisted that PurePower pretty much accidently has that wonderful sound and I had a concern if the new unit might not have it.  Richard insisted that they have a very precise and very accurate vision what in power regenerator make it to sound right. He stressed that the new unit is not only the Chinese version made in Canada, incased into two chassis with a few minor semi-cosmetic improvements but the further advancement of PurePower’s vision. He state that they played with a few key operational parameter and they feel that what they have achieved crates a condition for much better sound. The statement of cause is very loaded and at this point I have no idea if it relates to any reality.

I have today a day off and I think I will be playing with the new PurePower+. I am a bit skeptical as I have no specific power frustration as now and the playback sound spectacular (after my stupid last night “fix”:  http://www.GoodSoundClub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=19438). The most encouraging to me feature of the new PurePower+ unit that it has bypass switch, wish is economically feasible to have as I run my SS units all time and I would like to leave it on in bypass mode, activating the regeneration only when I am listening. I was begging PurePower for this feature for years and now they do have it.
