The best plug in filter ever!

Mark now sells a 1 foot long high quality power cord for $100 to go from the receptacle to the fuse box. Mark sent me a picture and it does look like high quality construction. 

Greetings 

I received my Puron filters the other day. After plugging them in I waited 2 hours and listened to the system. I thought they added more bass and better presentation of the sound stage. After being plugged in for 24 hours my system sounded a bit bright. Today I will listen to my system, the filters will be plugged in for 48 hours. I’m hoping they will mellow out and not sound as bright. 48 hours seems to be the magic number for these filter to deliver that magical improvement?

Once they start sounding good I will remove them from the system to hopefully realize the benefits of having them in my system.

Good morning and thanks for taking a moment to read this

 

one of the beauties of being in the audio business for 54 years is you get to meet a lot of people that become very precious. Many years ago I met Roy Harris who is a very unique individual and somebody who truly loves the audio industry

 

Roy has reviewed for several publications most recently audiophilia and he really works hard at his craft.

 

Roy had asked me to sell him a puron which I did and he told me that he would after listening to it write a review and I was really happy about this

 

subsequently Roy was unable to write the review on his Chromebook and instead decided to send his review in handwritten form to me

 

I've dictated the review here into my word processor and although some might think this is quite duplicitous on my part I did say I would post the review for him here on this thread. My apologies to anyone who finds this offensive but I rather honor my friendship then not

 

the following is his handwritten notes to me

 

hi mark I'm having a problem composing a review on my Chromebook then I decided to mail it to you I'm very sorry to give you more work having to enter the review on a computer but I felt getting this to you is better than not getting it at all here it is

 

I auditioned a puron for two weeks having borrowed it from a friend before he flew to Florida after some experimentation I placed the puron into an outlet in series with my transport

 

I experienced many positive benefits selecting complex material such as a Shostakovich Symphony #5 conducted by André Previn I noted a wider soundstage greater separation between instruments and a greater base presence

 

listening to voices I observed several positive changes vocal range increased a consequence of the presence of the soundfield against my chest often I've heard works sound like words were emanating from the head I also heard a greater clarity and a more natural presentation I know this greater microdynamics from Frank Sinatra found on the recording only the lonely the overall effect was more realistic Timbers greater transparent lower noise and an absence of digital artifacts no products are perfect I would characterize the puron as having a slight tubelight character exemplified by liquidity and bloom a bit more energy in the lower mid range and base and a slight reduction of treble energy with the puron in my system listening is more enjoyable and less unpleasant musical passengers are encountered

the two salient attributes of this product I perceived are a naturalness of timber and greater base presence

 

I intend to purchase another puron

 

Roy Harris

 

subsequently Roy did purchase a second puron and I'm very grateful for his mini review here

 

I've known Roy since 1990 when Peter madnick and I started audio alchemy. I've spoken to several audio societies in New York over the years and Roy always attended he's a good friend but he's also not afraid to tell me what he really thinks regardless of how I might feel

 

thank you Roy for this review and your friendship

 

 

Mark,

You may want to re-read your post. You mentioned he asked to you to sell you one which you stated you did.

Then in the review he states he borrowed it from a friend. Not that it really matters where it came from , it just blows up the whole post. I know you are working hard to get your credibility back and this doesn't help. 

 

 

@benzman

Actually - both are true.

When Roy asked me originally for Puron I simply didn’t have one for him.

He did borrow one from a friend

He liked it (understatement)

With more inventory - I shipped his initial order.

After that - he bought one more. I was paid for each of them. :)

Roy is not your average cup of coffee - he’s a very good guy, and very well known in NY/NJ audiophile circles.

Best wishes

Mark

 

PS - just because I knew this could happen - I took a picture (front and back) of Roy's letter to me - if anyone is interested - feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]om - glad to send the copy -
