Makes a lot of sense to investigate the possibilities. Since I have one of the older PP units I can make direct comparisons as well. I didn't like the original PS Audio Power Plants back in the day but they have modified the units since then. I don't...

ROWUK says "I get much
enjoyment from the Norwegian Radio web radio. They have a wonderful mix
of the music that I like which is orchestral and advanced chamber music.
They broadcast at 192KB which is not super fidelity, but their cho...

To be practical, Pure Power needs to sell the design or system to some company that has the capitalization to market and improve it effectively. Years after their move back to Canada we see no change in their basic operation which seems to consist of...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the
best door for you to knock. Audiogon for instance (and many others) specialize
to ...

[quote user="drdna"]Do not buy from this company. They took my money with no intention to ever deliver a unit to me. If you find a unit on the shelf in a store and it is functioning, buy that unit and take it home. Don't give Purepower your money up ...

So when you "read about endless delays in production and delivery", the first thing you do is order an expensive piece of equipment no questions asked or precautions taken??

We did do what we could to help you in advance. If you read the thread then you would not be surprised at what you are going through. There apparently is a hierarchy as to who gets what when. You need to elevate yourself on the hierarchy....

Yes there is a spatial aspect in the live performance that is lost in recording. The players are typically a bit farther apart from each other than the left right placement of the speakers. Also, the audience is farther back so the sounds blend but a...

It does seem a puzzle. I would strongly doubt that the house took a lightning strike without you noticing, assuming you were at home during the storm. Additionally since there is apparently no mention of lightning in the area that seems unlikely. I d...

I assume he is talking about EMP. However, you didn't mention that there was a lightning strike on your house. Not being an expert I am not sure why things in the basement would be affected but not components nearer the source of the alleged stri...

Terrible news. I'm sorry to hear that, but electricity is a mad, mad, mad thing that acts in mysterious ways. There is a thread about it somewhere on the internet I have heard. I'm puzzled by the statement that the components were "sitting being PP30...

If you went to a concert with chamber music and closed your eyes how would it be different?I think it would be because of the improved sonics. Orchestral music is more the grand gesture and the overmic'ing of orchestras disturbs this gestalt. Convers...

Well, Oppo, Emotiva and Gallo to name a few have provided components within the reach of many more people without being dirt cheap admittedly. I think the real problem is the disappearance of the complete system. I visit a few other music forums from...

My and Romy's posts above from a few months ago indicated this would happen so there shouldn't be any surprise. Again, Eschenbach excels mainly in choral works for some reason. Many US orchestras have far more difficulty with Bruckner than with Mahle...

This is an interesting thread. Romy is correct that the hifi industry is not user defined or driven really. Manufacturers have a standard vocabulary that they are able to use indiscriminately to describe the sonics produced by a given product (detail...

You could be right but my memory was that the article was written in disclaimer fashion so to speak. In other words, someone had passed along the word on this guy's set-up which was completely custom BTW. I don't think a listening area had even been...

I am certainly far from an expert on horns but one look at the speaker certainly left an impression of ill proportions. Usually that means DSP to solve it. Am I wrong in thinking that could be guessed just from the picture? This stuff has so many non...

Tom Martin is a successful businessman who enjoyed the old TAS apparently. When HP fell on hard times he bought the mag and then promptly put HP on the shelf, brought in Harley and created a Stereophile alternate mag. Maybe someone knows why he did t...

It's interesting that the enthusiasm in going to a more convenient but lower fidelity system is apparently higher than the reverse. Shows why audiophiles are a niche sect. The OP would have been more convincing if the enthusiasm was paired with a log...

Why is it a strange state of mind to not have any plans to muck with the audio system? It must mean you are happy enough with the sound. ...

I can't complain about 2013 audio or music wise. My main system plays my 1000 LPs fine enough for me to enjoy them. Music wise I was able to get about two dozen classical Indian LPs that I had been seeking. I refuse to get them on CD because they sou...

Two reasons that audiophile designers always harp on the analog end of the CD player: they don't have the wherewithal to develop a new ADC algorithm and they believe the word "analog" sells boxes. I thought there were already digital audio devices th...

It is one of those curious facts that Golden Ages generally occur quite early in the process of some domain of activity and then things slowly go downhill. In other words the Golden Age is followed by the Silver Age then the Bronze Age then the Slag ...

Why would you expect to hear something other than sales talk from salespersons? Even the producer is a salesman (or especially the producer). If they aren't moving product their time is being wasted. The only time I talk with them is when I have a sp...

If it were me with lots of spare cash I would have a 1961 Continental moved into the basement and set up my audio system in that. Music always sounds better when you are sitting in your car.

Oh I think it is very much a recursive arc but not in terms of audio fidelity etc as much as life history. But sometimes we can reculer pour mieux sauter. As big a problem as audio systems are to musical fidelity, the room effect is just as jarring. ...

Well, the circle is unbroken. Romy started his audio journey in a basement somewhere tinkering with this and that. He rose for a time into the light and now has descended once more. However this time it is called the Bunker. Welcome back!...
