First of all, if you have multiple of PP3000 then be advices that them connected in parallel substantially descries sound quality for each of them. Then might be use ONLY at different phases of some measures should be taken to decuple them by other means.

the interesting thing is Pure Power 3000+ Sensitivity to AC quality. when the AC is good then the Pure Power has very smooth sound with great transparency and when the AC is not good the Pure Power 3000+ has less transparent sound with a-little (very minor) harsh sound. 
   
How methodologically you distinct the contribution to sound the come from regenerator vs the nastiness that come from power lines? I mean when the elasticity is very bad and you have the reported “harsh sound” then I presume that this harsh sound is caused by bad electricity. You feel that “Pure Power 3000+ has less transparent sound … harsh sound”, so why do you feel that it is the PP3000 the one that has less transparent sound if the harshness comes from power lines?  Did you developed any techniques to differentiate the PP3000’s own harsh sound from power lines harsh sound?

I have used two Pure Power 3000+ in series but the result was not good. 

You absolutely should not do it. The topology of the digital regenerators like PP make them unstable and in fact dangers to be connected in series. The PP should warn the customers against doing it and in fact drop any warranties if somebody insist to use PP in this configuration. Hypothetically it is possible to use PP in series with an insolation transformer between them but then the measures should be taken to decuple then via ground, which brings own bad of the problems. Anyhow, I do recommend if you are not familiar with topological idiosyncrasies of series connecting of switched power supplies then do not connect PP in series.

yes, Parallel Pure Power 3000+ is not good. when one Pure Power 3000+ is connected to AC then there is more noise in home Line for example when the Pure Power 3000+ is connected to AC then my TV picture quality decrease a-little (the TV is not connected to Pure Power , TV is connected to other main sockets in my home).

Thank you for give warning about series PP3000+ . I do not use them in series.



I have Listened many times to my system without Pure Power 3000+ when the AC quality was good.

the Pure Power 3000+ is also has a bypass switch but i do not use it because it does not work in my Silver PP3000+. My black PP3000+ bypass switch is OK and i had some tests with it but my main experience is not using bypass switch to detect the difference.
I had a long time for looking at effect of Pure Power on my system. i should say my judgment is related to my setup because different PSU react different to AC.



1. when the AC is not good (most of the time the AC in my apartment is not good , maybe because i live in a big complex that AC/ground is shared between many apartment) and the PP3000+ is not used then the sound is sick and the structure of sound is not right . both harmonic and dynamics are destroyed.

2. when the AC is good and the PP3000+ is not used then the sound is good but not perfect , you can listen more to music but the dynamics is not perfect and the transparency is not very high. you just have a smooth sound and you can listen for long period of time. your brain has no problem with sound.




3. when the AC is not good and i use the PP3000+ then the sound is better than direct AC but it is not perfect. it's not so relax and it is not so smooth. PP3000+ make the sound more dynamic with more resolution but the brain is not so relax in long time. when AC is bad the Pure Power can not fully make my brain relax for long listening sessions. I agree Pure Power 3000+ help to have better sound but it can not fully isolate me from AC. I think we can not judge the sound of PP3000+ when the AC is bad. I do not mean PP3000+ is harsh and i correct my pervious post , i mean the output sound is alittle harsh and it may not related to pp3000+.



4. when the AC is good and the PP3000+ is used then the sound is very very very good, I love it . both harmonic and dynamic is good. no other changes in the system (like changing components) could change the sound like PP3000+ .
the only thing that PP3000+ may could be improved is about midrange texture. maybe PP2000+ be better i do not know but the PP3000+ is not the ultimate in midrange texture. please do not mistake , the sound is so good and i just have a minor (very minor) critique about it's midrange.



My silver PP3000+ battery voltage is 82 volts not 72 volts.
