This looks to be extremely well made with the recharging, battery, and regeneration portions separated into three discrete chassis with industrial-type umbilicals/connectors between each. I have seen such a configuration in operation in an associate's system and while I do not have enough familiarity to comment on the effect it has on the playback I can report that it was dead silent in operation and very well built.
This is pathognomonic of audiophile marketing today. There is no attempt made to describe sound - the buyers may well have tin ears anyway - no talk about the topology or electricity; just reliance on impressively sexy looking equipment. If indeed you used PP2000, then you could comment on the similar effect or not on your friend's system. It is obvious when you listen.

Sorry to say I am dubious of this when you promote a specific unit over another in a forum many have looked to for reference.

So I should describe the sonic differences between two completely different power regeneration units when they were used in completely different rooms, systems, and with different music. That would be incredibly helpful and valid now wouldn't it?!
For what it's worth, I place very little importance on the external aesthetics of a piece of audio equipment and if I had my way none of it would be on display. What does concern me is poorly laid out internals which show either a lack of understanding, laziness, or both. Why PurePower would use a recharging circuit which produces high frequency switching noise, audible from across the room with no music playing, is beyond comprehension. Maybe this is not a problem for the typical audiophile who cannot hear anything beyond 10 kHz.
