Romy is correct regarding "extra actions" for a Can/Am standard PP to accomodate not only the 1/2 current/2X voltage, but also 50 vs 60Hz, I think. I don't know about the PP, but the QC of the "commercial" generation of electricity is all about the tightest possible control of both the frequency and the wave form (not to mention maintaining the overall "balance" of The Grid).
Of course the PP is on the level of performance a "happy accident", like most of the gear we wind up settling for, and notwithstanding the "Proud Parents". I think it would not take so very much (in "commercial" terms) to reverse engineer the PP results, but - no doubt - the cost/benefit in this is literally plotted against the "alternatives" as far as "investment options" by any person or group that could reasonably undertake such a thing, in the first place. I think if this really "penciled", we would already see competition. Despite I always bitch about their "QA" and "Customer Service" I have been amazed that the PP was (when it "worked" at all) a very-rare-for-hi-fi, plug-and-play solution.
