I have to admit that my first unsuccessful experiment with APS PurePower regenerator made me anxious like hell. In context of the none-loaded unit I’ve heard some results that I was searching for a long time. The APS claim that they have “fixed” it a...

Part 3: Sound
The sound generally at CES was disgusting. There were virtually no rooms with something that might be marginally conceded interesting. There were some more or less interesting episodes, though… All interesting episodes, no mater how fe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]With the late success in my battle with electricity I was slowly reviewing some of my things. What I detected that in context of good electricity I can set up my Injection Channel much more aggressive, let seat 2-3dB more t...

Thank you Romy for saying this very important statement about Macondo topology. I believe that this is very very important and imperative for your numerous readership to "get this." I, for one, have no intention whatsoever of copying your efforts, a...

Eli,
I was in the same place at one time and accepted my listening as it was in relation to electricity. You say
"When [electricity] is good great and when is ok I live with it and when is terrible I just walk away".
This is fine to say...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You absolutely incorrectly, in my view, look at the data. The files of cause do not have the same start mark. Why shell they? I did not subtract one from another. You did in phase the files and did the subtraction but what ...

Yes, the consistency is good but I have to admit that with all flawless operation of PP2000 I still observed some variation of Sound at time. I intentionally did not bring this subject up as it looks as none of the users of PP regenerators at th...

Rony,
There are two possibilities as I can see them.
First is that your new hybrid amp just simply better then you former amp. Between us in case of Threshold, Jeff Rowland or McIntoshes it would not be so hard to come by to a better am, not to me...

[quote user="steverino"]FWIW I got my own PP 1050 a week ago and am pleased with the sound. It is the first active device that sounds as good as or better than my jury rigged passive filtration. Thanks Romy. As for chaining devices, I tried plugging ...

Yes, and lucid explanation why parallel caps on AC between neutral and hot affect sound does not exist. To make the things worst I can tell you that you can put 4324 regenerator or transformer of any kind after this cap you still will have no bass. I...

Today BSO and André Previn played all Mozart program in Tanglewood with Elizabeth Rowe leading in Flute Concerto No. 1:

My curiosity peaked with Jessie Dazzle’s last few posts. I realized that, in France, he receives 220v, 50 Hz power. I then recalled Romy’s post at http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=1177#1177. I was wondering i...

[quote user="N-set"] You always repeat that you do not listen to the power supply thanks to your "isolating" PS philosophy.This is a super attractive thing worth all the blood, sweat and tears! But then at the same time some disturbing notes come tha...

Gould was such a great talker! I love listening to him on just about any subject. But don't let this stop you from digging into it, if you want to "fix" it.LBJ, there are bound to be periods when, and plenty of varying reasons why, one just is not ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then re...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]A few post above Bill mentioned that he run his PP2000 from AdeptResponse power conditioner. I am not familiar if AdeptResponse helps to separate one PP2000 effect another. I am not also familiar with AdeptResponse its...

[quote user="bernie_f"]Did you ever have a walk in fresh powder snow in the countryside? The zillions of crystals of water are doing a perfect job of damping noise - at least in the audible spectrum. Even big cities like the one i am living in are tu...

The Purepower state at their site that efficiency of the unit is 89-92% depending on load. I presume that they meant the power factor correction that need to be taking to the consideration. In my case my two 6-ch Melquiades run from two new PP2000. M...

OK, it looks like the 3rd time was indeed a charm.No, the new X/Os do not really "correct" problems inherent in the drivers. That's another story now. Still, a better power contour helps my DEBZs to sound more correct in terms of voicing and overal...

It's been some time since I've listened to my hi-fi. Today I started out with my DAC because I wanted to hear a new (to me) CD. After about 2 hours I switched to the K&K, listening first to Verde, then Brahms PCs 1 & 2. By the time I got to the 3r...

This year marks the first serious inroads of the new "Smart Grid" system around here. Blah, blah, blah, blah...What this has meant in terms of hi-fi is fewer really bad days - and fewer really good days. Since I've taken care of VTA my basis has go...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you consider APS PurePower as just a power treating or regenerating devise then I feel that the whole “kinky” point of this devise might be missed. We get horrible sound with bad electricity and we are accusto...

[quote user="manisandher"] I'm actually not advocating anything to you Romy. I'm just asking whether you are bonding your dedicated ground to Neutral. If so, I can't see how cheater plugs would help in your situation - your dedicated ground and your ...

It is 75F in Boston, unseasonably warm. I got home today and it is 68F in my listening room and 75F outside, it is sign that spring came and you know what Cats do in march – you are right - getting horny on open air Bruckner listening. So that what ...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]Quality of

To answer the philosophical questions first - at least from my view:All apply, are measurable, BUT we have no correlation of the measurement to the brain of the listener(s).We are all ultimately responsible for our own behavior, so I believe that the...

Rick, as I "remmember", the PP output waveform was a "perfect" squarewave, in terms of shape, but it's pulsed. And I think Romy said it worked with a load of up to 60% of "capacity". Does a different regenerator have to "work the same" to "sound as g...

The inverter has a meter that says 0 watts when nothing is connected to it - other than the batteries.As soon as something is "plugged in" it says 40 watts.GIADEL says the unit uses 1.2 amps/14 watts at idle. I guess it does not really turn on until...
