Eli, there is another aspect of your problem. For sure I understand the frustration you had with your PP unit ordering and I do not blame you. If PP do not run continue production and make single unit per order then they need to inform customers about it. There are plenty examples in audio when built-to-order devises take months to build and this is normal. Normal is the expectations are properly set. Anyhow, it is not the point. How PP position itself on the market is their business. The point that I would like to make is you Eli with your presumed electricity problem. I am sure that you have problem, why anyone would pay 5K to experiment with PP. You thought that having PP would help you with your sonic problems. Well, the PP direction did not work for you, it was not your fault but it was what it was. You got understandably pissed about PP business ethics but I would like to find out that this did not address your problem with electricity. You lost or did not lose your money but the initial frustration with sound that made you to look into PP direction most likely still there. Well, I am interesting how you deal with your electricity related sonic problems? Did you back on PP juts because they mislead you or you find another devised that you fell might help you? If you still on the market for a device that deal with electricity then, to your surprise, I do suggest you to try PP. Sometimes your dealer will have it in stock - the way how it has to be for a good dealer and you shall be able to borrow the existing unit and to try it. I know the mood that you are now suggest you to forget that they exist. Trust me: I was there a few times myself. The whole quandary with PP is that when these units are available and work properly (sometime it might be a question) then in fact they work stunningly good and make sound uncontestably better. Eli, I leave you with this though. You might or might not return your attention to PP in future. It is kind of irrelevant to me. However, if you do find your satisfaction in your electricity problem by other then PP means then I hope you share your experience at this site. Rgs, Romy the Cat

I just got confirmation by mail  from retailer that the money is going to be sent on Monday. I really hope so. If it does I will let all know and I will have to admit I was wrong when I thought these guys where trying to get my money and run. Timing for the refund is hard to explain but at this point i do not care. all I want is my money back. and yes, if I get it as said I will share with you all.

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 solutions and all do little to solve it. It affects sound, but not always for the good. If it solves one issue if makes other worse. But none gives consistent good results. They all vary with electricity too. I did have last summer problems with drops in vol. so I thought that the PP battery could provide safety. And since as claimed here the sound was ok I thought it would be a good solution. But after all the trouble I decided to keep it as it is. I am not really concerned about electricity effects on quality of music at this point. Well I am but take it as a given. When is good great and when is ok I live with it and when is terrible I just walk away. These things in general all they do is alter the character of sound for better or for worse much the same way as cables do. All in my experience.  A thing that has a lot to do as well with quality of music perceived is estate of mind and mood when listening. More important many times then electricity. But that is a different topic.

As I understand you have no fanatical transaction with manufacture, all deal was made with dealer, and it was the dealer who did not return your payment, hoping that PP will send the unit. Instead demand the reimbursement from your dealer you decided to unleash your rage toward PP. Don’t you think that it is a bit unethical? A good dealer would not allow you to talk to manufacture taken care of all your problems. So, in my judgment the situation with Adrian is ridicules but the situation with you is kind of controversial.  You get your satisfaction and let it to be it. If I buy my Acura from my local dealer and Acura plan in japans doe not ship my particular color and configuration then I would take my complain to Honda Motor Company or to a site where Acura users exchange opinions about Acura driving habits. Again, I am glad that you are happy but please I do not want to read during the next 2 week not many bitcoins  you bought from the money you recover from PP deal. Let keep the eyes on the ball and return the thread to the subject of audio and sound. Rgs, Romy

I had a dac that took 10 months, a turntable bearing a year and two compression drivers that took almost three years to arrive. All of them had me wanting to give up on them but persevered for the goal. I have spoken to Damien and Richard many times and they have always been courteous and polite although not always timely.
