Well, spent a few more hours to listening Avicenna. Although it has much better sound then from the wall but there are a lot of moments in this sound that I do not like. It is kind of freakish and demoralizing as Avicenna feeds system with absolutely perfect, ultra low distortions sinusoid. Anyhow, sonically so far PP2000 beats Avicenna hands down that as you understand is kind of make me say and happy at the same time. There are two qualities Avicenna however that likes a lot but I do not know how to capitalize on them; if I found how to use this Power Processor then I would write about those qualities.  I have some difficulties to set up a proposer working environment for Avicenna, there are some issues (not with the processor but with my environment) and I most like will be dealing with them during this week. Meanwhile I would not be surpassed if I will be able to get slightly better result from Avicenna. Sometimes after then I will be trying to engage the Avicenna’s insertion functionality – who know perhaps it will do something better.

Meanwhile the upper range of PP2000 is back completely and oh boy – I do not like my MF channel now. I clearly would like it to be loaded to 2-3 time higher impedance; I mean much higher, the way how I use to have it 2 years back. If you remember my progress with S2 driver then you will see how I fought with it “liveliness” by loading the stage that drives S2 harder and harder. The first Melquiades was driving S2 with 1700R that is VERY high impedance for 6C33C.  The best load I go at the time was at 1350R, it was very high as well. Then I started to cure (as I presume now) the electricity problems with damping of my MF driver. I was driving with 1000R, 650R and in the end with 550R. When I circulated my MF transformer for single-stage 6E6P I made it 15:1 or relatively heavy loaded. Now I can go for much-much higher loading – the electricity from PP2000 shell be able to care it.

One more thing. I have a conversation with APS people, the promise to cure the “nerviness”, that is good but controversial. Also, and probably because they read my site they informed me that the new generation of 1050 PurePower regenerators incorporated all changes the made to PP2000 and they assure me that they also do not burn anymore. I pass this comment along as I made a lot of bad but deserving reputation for older APS units but it is a comment from APS owner and shell be treated accordingly.

That is about it for now. I have nothing to talk in this thread anymore unless Avicenna would demonstrate some sighs of life.
