Romy, Are you aware that there is a new?! site for pure power - (removed) - which has the following statement on their site A management change at the end of 2011 closed the Canadian office. That office can no longer supply authentic PurePower prod...

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 in my VPI SDS into the P...

"Like I said back when, both the worst and the best electricity (for hi-fi) seem to be behind us."The best days for sure. but given the distaste for electrical generation facilities and ever increasing on-line devices, certainly not the wor...

Remember those old horror flicks where the scientist would invent special goggles or a viewer and then start to see Things That Should Never Be Seen.Have you taken a look at your power company website? It's entirely possible that they are doing somet...

Clark, How sad that I didn't know this "nothing" 15 years ago (including yes the effects of polarity and phase), but I'm always the last to know. And how strange that following the logic of this "nothing" (and this thread) has suggested a number of...

|
NSET, Sorry for any confusion. It seems clear from Romy's experiences and others that the electrical line is a transportation system that lets everything ride for free to any station and back. Yes the SDS uses a quartz crystal oscillator and digital...

Obviously, people who have training in musical forms and elements (like myself) talk about music differently than people who are just music lovers. When I listen I switch off the analysis mode and just go with the flow. When I'm asked why I feel or t...

Romy says "what does make you to scare: the sound that orchestra produces of the meaning and Bruckner’s expressions?"
I don't think there is "meaning" in the sense of particular ideas in music. It can suggest different images or emo...

We are talking about subjective reactions so there is no way to dispute either of our responses. However, I do see a disconnect between your statements that I quoted and your subsequent post. In the first post you were talking about the Queen of Spad...

NSET, My comment you reference was in response to a post by Romy a month or two ago on this thread. He mentioned that he had put an isolation transformer before and after his PP3000 and had gotten different sonic effects depending on the position. If...

Romy says "Listen, or even better THINK about Sound of first movement of the Bruckner 9th Symphony as an answer.Thinking about this did not give me the answer to the question I'm afraid. However, I therefore do agree that "

This goes back to the discussion a few weeks ago of what these components' power supplies are "expecting" to see. They were built and tested with certain kinds of AC waveforms as input. If you give it something it was never tested with, the design ma...

I use a very similar expression "If you laugh at the absurdity of life you'll never stop laughing."As for the dumpsters, I already have planned that out. I have a second copy for all my thousand lps. When I get to 70 I will sell the backup copies on ...

Romy, I was making fun of myself. If you read the post again. you don't see anything about how many records someone can have, just how much time I have left to listen. ...

Romy says "I have probably somewhere around 15K of records,"I'm down to One thousand LPs. I'm older than you and I calculate that I only have a dozen or so cycles through them before they sound just as good on a boombox speaker as over my s...
|
|
I also was disappointed in most of the SC LPs although they are far from the worst reissues IMO. It's just that the original deccas were so good its not easy to improve on them. I think a couple of their reissues of DGG LPs are usefully better than t...

Dear Romy, I didn't say you bought another device to compensate for Pure Power, I said you spent time effort and money to operationalize it in your system with new dedicated linee, rejiggering positions of audio components, using isolation transforme...

Romy said "then I would
do my version of CES stunt.During the first 3 days what the show is close to public walk around the room and offer the PurePower units to loan for free.. The people at the show do not know that

Romy said "Were they very well make fake or it was the bad sounding batch?"Some of the fakes are quite sophisticated supposedly. I thought that the washability of the label was one of the better ways to test for them. The fakes tend to have...

While I have found the Amperex globes act more consistently than the Bugle Boys I wouldn't call the Bugles uniformly bad. I wonder if they just don't match up with current amps as uniformly as the later Globes? I have a stockpile of GE longplates fro...

What happens if you make these changes and then you experience a bad electricity day?? You won't know whether the problem would have occurred anyway in the original setup..You need to allow a sufficient time to elapse to verify that different conditi...

2011 was once more the year of the electrical for me as I was reminded and buffeted with the improvements and mysteries resulting from fiddling with the current and the EMI and RFI. Thanks Romy for your attention to this. I would recommend to beginni...

We all agree that acoustic polarity (phase) and AC polarity are important. Stop already.

I have heard of this but was rather suspicious simply because they are also marketing digital cables "which make digital sound like analogue" Where have we heard that before? What I read sounded not that different from the supposed operation and effe...

CJ Yes I have assessed AC polarity in my system.Romy says "I took today my large
3kW isolation transformer and place it between my dedicated line and
PP3000. I lost my lower bass, simple as that. "Speaking of isolation transformers, I have not h...

Romy,
Your findings are more congruent than not with
my own experiences with different
systems and environments.

Romy says "Well, with use of the
dimmers in my house (I can use them ONLY in PS3 line, which is the same
as PS1 phase split) the sound was changing BUT I am not convinced that
with all dimmers heavily engaged the PS1/ PS3 line sounded...

Paul S says Still, who knows what sort of problems would yet get to the hi-fi via such a line.You raise a very interesting point. If the grid line were known pure than it would be highly likely that a consistent and significant benefit woul...
