APS Pure Power A/C Regenerators


Over the years I have tried a few power conditioners and always felt that they stripped the music of its "body," leaving me with a non-involving, non-musical, thin sound.

Because of this, I have only gone as far as a dedicated panel to dedicated circuits, with some above standard electrical hardware. ...and have been pleased with this results.

I recently had a conversation with a fellow audiophile, who also happens to be an engineer, who recommended that I look into the Pure Power line of A/C Regenerators.

He has tried quite a number of tweaks to his electrical supply over the years and could not say enough great things about Pure Power, to the point that he strongly felt that using this (specifically referring to the model 2000) in any standard outlet in the home, would outperform the improvments of dedicated circuits or any other electrical tweaking.

I am considering a project in my home that would move my listening room to a new space. Before I do this and before I bring in an electrician for all of the custom works, I am looking to hear from any folks that own or have owned a Pure Power regenerator.

Please share your experiences, both good or bad. Also, please comment on other A/C conditioners or custom/dedicated circuit topologies that you have compared this to.

Any experiences that you can share regarding APS Pure Power regenerators is appreciated.

Lastly, does anyone know if there is a performance difference between the different models, or do they only differ by their output capacities?

Thanks!

I have the PurePower 700 and it is a key component in my system. Once you try it you will never want to let it go, I have even run pretty large amps (ML 433) and my TV and sources without overrunning it's output. Performance wise they are all similar I believe they just differ in output.
This is all third hand off the internet so grain of salt, etc. From what I have read, the PurePower 2000 sounds markedly better than the lower end models despite the fact that the manufacturer says it shouldn't. Also, it allegedly is better sounding than dedicated circuits for some people. Anyway, note that there is electrical hum to some extent in every unit (my dealer admitted this when confronted) although apparently it is not typically loud enough to be heard above the music. The PurePower 2000 also has a fan. An even bigger concern is that a reviewer had a unit go bad, so the QC may be suspect although one case is not enough data to determine anything either way. There also do not appear to be separate isolated banks on the unit to isolate components from each other.

Given those concerns, I'm not ready to take a flyer on it although I think it would work very well in my system given that I am living in an apartment in a city.
I purchased two APS Pure Power 2000's. Also I have two 20 amp dedicated AC power lines installed and used 10awg wire. The outlets are R1 Oyade's. The effect on the sound is quite spectacular. The quality of the incoming AC power is very bad and varies greatly during the day. The Pure power units eliminates this problem completely.
These units replaced the PS Audio Power Plant Premiers. There is no comparison, The Pure Power units are far superior in all respects.
In conclusion I highly recommend the Pure Power units.
Thanks guys...I appreciate the feedback.

Jebsmith, why are you using two of the 2000 units; is there not enough output capacity in a single 2000 for your system?

Keep the comments coming, please.
