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...

[quote user="steverino"]Quite frankly, these
products are of greater importance to people living in countries with irregular
utility power. You don't have to be an audiophile to notice the benefits in
that situation. For me they are more useful in...

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...

I am kind of at lost, as what is doing on with my playback is surprising to me. With a pair of new 6-ch Milqs, more or less acceptably calibrated (but not perfectly), the system begin to throw some very astonishing effects, so astonishing that I am v...

The idea of a driver/speaker that "sorts out" noise and "puts it in its place" is very interesting! But perhaps we are thinking wrongly about how this might be done? As far as doing it earlier in the "reproduction" chain, I do know a version of thi...

Nothng but bad electricity for quite a while now. My system gets less use because of it, so when I do finally listen it takes longer for it to get going, and then there are more questions about set-up because sound is so var...

Paul, this in a way reminds the everlasting question “Where love has gone”. You said very nice: “when the electricity is good the Sound is the purest expression of the Music”. Then, when electricity turns bad what happens to Music? Well, nothin...

I'm not sure why my DAC cut out, other than it's a short. Meanwhile, I am listening exclusively to vinyl, as opposed to mostly vinyl. I sure wish I had FM, but no sense worrying about that in these parts, not to mention all the records I'...

[quote user="manisandher"] Well this is what I was struggling with. Will cheater plugs truly isolate your playback from the PP2000 if the Neutral is still shared between your playback and the PP2000? Of course, if your own ground is not bonded to the...

Decoud, this is a delayed response to your most recent post in this thread (posted 11-14-11): Indeed, why is it "beneficial" to add DC/AC to a battery only to rectify it again? This has never made sense to me, except with my fuzzy "theory" that the P...

Hello all , i know this topic is almost about pp experience but since im experimenting with electricity i like to share some thoughts here . I builded a dac using very high quality components . As you know the power supply is critical . So i decided ...

[quote user="steverino"]Romy, Even you do not believe that the Pure Power device is a panacea. If you did you wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars , hundreds of hours and hundreds of posts here trying to figure out why it didn't work properly str...

It is very interesting and I truly can’t get it. Sound in my room is basically the same only now it is not act as some kind of proverbial cloud in the room but rather glues itself to the room walls. Before the event in the room were unfolded in front...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]the “sound” of these oscillators/inverters is something
that describes the sound of electricity. Tesla for sure would make great batteries
but I do not think that they would case to make oscillators “good for sound”.[/quo...

It's interesting that the most variation is in the upper bass, lower midrange. By eyeball,the peaks look like 240 and 480 Hz. or about the 2nd and 3rd harmonic of 60 Hz., although there is only a slight peak at 60. Is that a fluke or related to some...

[quote user="rowuk"]Do we simply not want a non-changing target? As regeneration does not seem to be „the“ solution (especially if the AC cord behind the regenerator changes bass), what does better AC even mean?Perhaps the designers of great equipmen...

The way I remember it, before the good electricity the Solti/VPO LP performance seemed to move too quickly to "a certain spot", in terms of dynamics, and it did not seem to move off that spot enough on the appropriate occasions thereafter. With the e...

The cool thing is how Lamm figured out how to get one's attention off the window, albeit, apparently, through a fairly didactic program of "organizing", "correcting" and/or "mitigating" certain information he realized contributed to that particular d...

1. The less we have to fill in for the brain to reconstruct the original event, the better it will sound. This has been proven by psychologists for all of our senses. The closer to reality the sensation is, the less the brain has to work, the more re...

In a post at his K&K Forum, designer/builder Kevin Carter referred to this phono stage as a "listening tool", and I basically agree with that terse assessment.I think I have messed around with this unit enough now to get it "strategically".S...

Romy, as you can see, I have never wrote that these parasitic sounds depend ONLY on the quality of the drivers. It is quite obvious they depend on many many many other things (practically everything) as for example bad microphones, bad microphone cab...

I had my best-to-date listening sessions this year, but still 2008 has been a mixed bag for me. I did get pretty much what I was aiming for, or rather I did on those occasions when the electricity happened to be decent....

I wish I had other sources for reference, since it's obvious (even to me) that the amps will only sound as good as what they are fed (and what they feed). I think I still have my old CD player around, somewhere, while I wait for my iD...

I touched on local electricity problems in a recent electricity post. Briefly, the local nuclear plant has been shut down by concerned politicians after "leaks" were detected. Setting aside mutated flora and fauna, sound has been worse more of the ...

Rakesh, Equi=Tech is a know player in the fields of audio electricity. Back in 2001-2002 I had 3 of the Equi=Tech transformers. I was not pleased with results. I do not like the balanced operation for power lines – in my view it does something with h...

Joaco, thanks for sharing. We still do not know what make those units to sound to sound good, so in a way we are shooting in dark. I have no doubts that there is great number of commercial units out there, similar to APS PurePower, which might be su...

[quote user="N-set"]Sorry for being naive, but may gathering spectral fingerprints of the electricityduring bad and good days give something? Perhaps after N samples some pattern might emerge, although I guess nobody knows what to look for.[/quote]Ac...

Sound was decent today but the electricity was just bad enough to bugger the music.I tried to listen to a number of LPs and at one point Alicia De Larrocha was sounding pretty good; then it went away and I thought I'd just compare Gould's French Suit...

[quote user="Paul S"]Well, I thought I'd heard some nice hi-fi at times in the past, but this is something else, altogether! As the new 6AK5s burn in the amps have become truly uncanny music makers. The "highs" are now such that it has be...
