A $250 Power Conditioner?


Howard reviews the Puron, which is a small AC power conditioner ($250 USD) "plug" that is distributed by Vera-Fi Audio. It’s said to cleanse the electronic circuit that feeds and audio system. Many tweaks cost a pretty penny for little or no performance increase. Is that the case here?

@milpai Glad to hear, and way to keep an open mind, try new things, and have the confidence to trust your own ears! Now you get to reap all the wonderful and ongoing benefits of that. Hopefully the Flat Earthers will stay away from this. 🤞🤞🤞

After readings a few threads on the Puron, I purchased 2 on sale.  One went into the wall with the Shunyata Alpha V1 power cord from my Pass 205.8.  The other went into a 500W isolation transformer into which my DAC and pre are plugged.  I found basically the same results as others . . . better detail, better soundstage, slightly better bass, and the instruments seemed to have more air around them and were more precisely placed in the soundstage.  Confirmation bias?  Who knows.  But to my ears, it sounds better, and for small money.

As for those who rag on this product without trying it, I understand the jaded skepticism that many naturally have.  But there are a significant number here who have them and like what they do to one's system.  In this case, with a 30 day money back guarantee, put them in your system for 21 days and if you don't hear a difference, send them back.  But don't say without trying them that they "don't work" or I "heard that this is what they do"

Question to Puron users:

I have only 1 Puron installed on the empty port in the 20 amp dedicated line that feeds the power conditioner. The other 20 amp dedicated line is used to power the brick that powers my audio server (windows machine). Since it is a SMPS, I am wondering if it will benefit, by adding another Puron on that empty port.

Thoughts?

Milpai my experience every time I added one , I get more improvement, I have 5 now.My bet it will improve.

It’s pretty rare IME that a “tweak” — or anything for that matter — gets such consistently strong reviews. Townshend Seismic spring platforms/footers are one such example, but these are quickly moving toward making that elite list especially given the relatively low cost for the meaningful benefits they seem to provide. Thanks for bringing these to our attention!
