Floobydust, I very much disagree with you on it, not because I have an alternative view but because I have practical evidences that what you say is not sufficient definition of “good for sound electricity”. The lower THD is not adequate representatio...

Since I go the new version of PP2000 two weeks back I was operating under presumption that they will be sonically similar tothe PP2000 that I have had. I did not invest time or efforts to confirm this presumption partially because at that time I was ...

[quote user="eli8888"]Romy I have not dealt with it at all. By now and after many years, I have come to the conclusion that electricity has an effect on music. Some days it is good, some is just ok and some is terrible. And I have tried several solut...

Wojtek, I am indeed hemmed in by the fricking electricity these days, to the extent that it is about impossible to hold on to a baseline for reference. And the Lowthers only make the problem more apparent.Yes, I still wonder about how I wo...

The Big Deal for me this year was programing, in the sense that I now have more ready access to more music since I figured out the correlation between (measured) record thickness and arm heigth (VTA). Now I just put the record on the platter, adjust...

I think it would have to do more with power lines conductivity under low temperatures than with industry pollution:"Even among the materials considered conductive, there can be vast differences in how much electricity can actually pass through. I...

Lx_, it is so and not. I never made a secret that PP has some sensitivity to line before it but for the people who do not use it the degree of the comment would not be possible to understand. Even for PP the relative degree of the comments like my co...

[quote user="yoshi"]Well, my wording may not be right. What I meant by "integrity of harmonics" is more like "integrity of space where harmonics are presented", which I do not hear in CD/LPs.[/quote]
What "live" analog FM does with space is ab...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The sound during bad electricity days is all about noise, all imaginable noise; it is like fog, dull everything into some kind of universal grayness. The colors are dirty, the upper mid and HF are literary dirty, the HF ar...

I would like to shade light about what is doing on with PurePower PP2000. I know that the readers of my site have own brain, at least some of them, and they do not need me or anybody else to “shade light” on anything. Still, since I was the initi...

"I wonder if it possible to built an electrical equivalent of the “heavy snow storms emulator”?"The past month or so we have enjoyed several days of good electricity in Boston and last night I wrote to Romy noting that this was by far the best elec...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I would rather feel that somehow PP precondition power to make our audio electronics to sound better. I think that PP still subjected to fluctuation of electricity quality... What it has to do with electricity? Hmmm, I do n...

N-Set, Happy New Year. I think you are running 230v 50hz in Poland so a lot of comments on this board may not be applicable. I lived in a 50s house in the US at 120v 60hz with terrible electrics (terrible everything really but that is a different sto...

[quote user="Paul S"]What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! [/quote] I would concur with it – sine the temperature dropped last week here in Boston the...

Ok, it is a lot of information on my plate and I am trying to make sense of it. Below I will share my observations about the new Pure Power 3000+.
The first thing first. In the post I made a few days back:

Steverino, they are all reasonable questions, I do not have answers, I have some hypnotizes that might look unto. It does appear to me that the change that I observe are not electricity related, at least not the electricity as we understand it. The e...

Thanks, AdrianI am also dying to know if this thing obviously cleans up the sound, like the difference between good and Bad Electricity (from the wall) days, when there is simply no doubt about it. Maybe you (and we) will have to wait unti...

The readers of my site who are frustrated about audible quality of electricity are familiar with a very clever electricity processor called “Avicenna” that I mentioned in the “It’s mad, mad, mad... electricity” thread. Who missed it and have interest...

I am also content with my "pre-amp", and I think a lot of my satisfaction comes from the fact that all I ask from the pre is sensible switching (including variable attenuation), and no interference.But what about the more usual situation, where the u...

Last night local guy stopped by to listen my last year changed in Audio. I proudly played to him a record on my “End of the Life Phonostage”… it sounded like crap. The electricity was not very good and I hardly was toleration when the record was over...

Romy, My Bidat being extremely sensitive to incoming electricity and now with Purepower in my mix I am getting to know my Bidat in a new light. I did think I had a grasp of what the Bidat could and couldn't do but feeding it through Purepower it has ...

Romy, what you describe is exactly what motivated my own decision. This was the main thing that bugged me when listening between master tapes (and careful 1st dubs) and the LPs made from them, meaning the way the LP (and presumably the cartridg...

[quote user="drdna"]I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular ne...

I tried listening for a while this morning, figured the electricity was not good enough. When I went to switch off the amps, I immediately noticed that BOTH 5651s had failed spectacularly, with cracked bases and "white-out" on the top...

[quote user="Paul S"]… a better representation of dynamics because the broad-spectrum noise is pretty much gone… ….electricity was good today.[/quote]Paul, it is an interesting result but I do see a predicament of what you are saying. The eaten dynam...

Hm….. I am not sure what is going on. Decided to plug the whole playback to the wall and to hear how it would sound. As I did it felt kind of lost. It sounded spectacular, in fact if sound as wonderful as the new PP3000+ regenerator. Does the new ...

I know in US business like recording studios can have exclusive transformers installed by the electricity company, but do not know if it is possible on residential buildings. It still do not warrant you will not have problems from noises coming from ...

hmmm sorry Romy for the lost of your pp2000 ....I would like to share one opinion from a technician that lives in Japan and lived in Chile . We were discussing the issues of electricity and he said "Lines in Chile are poor quiality , cables are too t...

Romy, this is very interesting indeed. I'm assuming that the sonic difference between these two files is in line with the sonic difference you hear between bad and good 'electricity' days when you're just listening to music, with no recording chain i...
