"At my demo facility in Denmark,
we have the Krell Evolution 505 and 202 connected to a PP 2000i and it
sounds really good. Amps are 2x Evolution 400 and speakers
Wilson WATT/Puppy8.
We have also ARC CD8 and LS26
connected to a PP 1050i. Speakers are Montana XPS and amps
are 2x ARC 610T - and I have never in my life heard anything as good -
my goodness !!!!"

PurePower™ 2000i
"I just want to pass on how well
the Pure Power 2000 is doing in Angola. On a daily average I loose
power 6 to 7 times and day. The 2000 keeps my system running smooth and
I have no more sharp spikes when I loose power. Out of all the equipment
I own this should be the first one buy.
Thanks Again for all your help.

come along that takes away nothing and instead, enhances almost
every aspect of your system. The PurePower 1050i is one such
uncommon beast."

PurePower™ 2000
Audiophiles are a funny
group. Compulsive, often
manic depressive and deeply committed to their audio systems. Ask us to describe the latest improvements and we become Oscar
Wilde dipping into our deep hat of colorful descriptive
adjectives. What happened
last night left me drawing a complete blank as I gasped for words
to convey my reaction to a product I am evaluating for my company.
Pure Power AC
Regenerator Model 2000 is the product. Damian Janzen is the co-owner and if he doesn't
walk around with a "Viagra-like grin" on his face all the
time, then he is simply too modest. In case I am boring you, let me cut to the chase. With a completely straight face, I can stake my professional
reputation on this statement: This
is the most astounding single product I have ever listened to in 35
years of this hobby. Maybe
because its inexpensive ... maybe because I don't see people camped
out on street corners claiming their lives have been changed by this
thing... or just maybe because I have not read about it or heard about
it nearly enough in the mainstream press.
Whatever the reason, I
don't understand how it isn't hailed as the cure for cancer
or the world economy. Oh yes, it is that good. This is from their site:
“The
PurePower™ APS (Audio Power Supply) provides truly regenerated pure
power regardless of what problems exist in your utility supply. This is
accomplished through our double conversion technology.
We convert the incoming power to produce a clean DC current, then
recreate a 60 Hz, 120 volt AC wave-form from the DC. No spikes, sags, surges or other power disturbances can be
passed through from input to output.”
I found out about it
from a very erudite audio buddy of mine who has Boulder amps and
Wilson Maxx 2 speakers. He
maintained I was "out of touch " by not carrying this
line. Out of touch...
how dare you sir! I
read everything printed in page and web text, I am the obsessive compulsive one remember?
Sonics: Detail you never knew existed on recordings. Microscopic detail
in fact. Weight of cymbals, density of plucked string, depth of
percussion and voices... oh my .... voices that defy you to say this is
an electrical reproduction event.
Tone: Nothing can prepare you for the kaleidoscope of tonal purity this
product delivers. Period, end of discussion.
Transients:
The acceleration from midnight to attack is startling. You will be digging
out every percussion disc you own and rushing to the computer to
order everything you can get with explosive orchestral passages.
Purity:
This is difficult to describe but it all sounds so natural and
effortless. Dynamic swings take you by surprise but never at the
expense of ease and continuous flow.
The price:
You will be wishing you got a few of these before Damian gets wise
and triples the price.
System:
Aerial 20 T speakers, Aerial SW 12 subs. Conrad Johnson LP140
Monoblocs, Wadia 781i cd-sacd player, David Elrod Statement Gold
cables, Critical Mass Grand Master isolation RPG acoustical
treatment. All lines are isolated - dedicated from a separate sub
panel, separate grounding rod for this system …. every piece of
gear on its own circuit.

PurePower™ 2000
Pure Power 2000 significantly enhanced
the sonics over and above what my previous high end AC conditioner
provided: greater dynamics with more punch and liveliness, cleaner and
faster transients, better defined and tighter bass, more open highs
yielding greater delicacy, increased resolution of complex orchestral
passages, cleaner and purer harmonic texture, easier to perceive nuances
and longer decays, more natural and relaxed presentation, and enhanced
soundstage elements: depth, focus, air, separation of instruments, and
transparency.

PurePower™ 2000
Immediately apparent now is the startling
clarity offered by the music playing system, like a window glass that
has just been wiped clean. Noise floor is very certainly brought down by
a mile. I found myself now admiring the focus of each and every
instrument within the deep, wide sound stage!
The vocals are now very palpable and believable. In fact so good, with
recordings that have it, you can certainly hear a face in the room too!
I really liked the Pure Power APS 2000 powering my system, it's probably
one of the best power line solutions money can buy today.

PurePower™ 1050
"It HAS TO BE one of the finest
audio products there is!
Had an audiophile friend over yesterday for an audition. He had heard my system several times 'before' the 1050. Had a good basis for comparison. Auditioning session ran 3 hours.
He was absolutely blown away by the improvements he heard .. and this guy has heard 'his' more times than he can remember .. but NEVER LIKE THIS!
I, personally, am blown away every time I now watch a DVD! Has taken it to a whole new level.
Let me tell you .. I didn't know my equipment was 'this' good .. until now! I could go on and on .. but I won't. I know you've heard it all before.

PurePower™ 2000
"I appreciate audio devices that
instead of demonstrating their own qualities, force you to think about
sound. The new PurePower 2000 is turning to be such a device. I have so
many ideas and so many thoughts with the sound the 2000 produces that I
truly surprised myself. Today, spending many hours with my new
regenerator and listening to music, I could not hold myself from
laughing as many times I caught myself acknowledging that this or that
aspect of the sound was exactly how I always insisted it should be. It
was like being an orphan and suddenly discovering one's own parents
Somehow the PP2000 surgically removes all negative manifestations that
are typically associated with bad electricity but keeps everything else
absolutely un-affected.
After spending those 4 days with the PurePower 2000, I suggest that they
adopt my proposal for a new slogan: "We do not 'f ***-up' your
Sound." As far as my familiarity with power treatment devices is
concerned, I know of no other power company or product that might be
entitled to use this slogan.
It looks like the PurePower 2000 resolves the problem with electricity
once and for good..."

PurePower™ 1050
I'm a real advocate of PurePower. I'm in the UK and suffer
from "dirty mains" - lots of voltage fluctuation and
harmonics that
cause the torroidial transformers on my valve (tube) amp to hum
badly.
I did a lot of research into various techniques to "clean
up" the
mains, and decided to go for regeneration. Frankly, nothing else
seemed to make sense to me - I'm not an electrical engineer, but
the thought of trying to resolve mains quality and interference
problems using "smoothing" techniques just didn't add up !
So I spent my UKŁ to buy the 1050 and the difference is simply
astounding. The overall system quality is significantly improved
- the noise floor seems much lower and subjectively the sound
is more dynamic or "agile".
I'm a vinyl junkie with a top-end system (VAC Phi-Beta amp,
Sonus Faber Amati speakers, Oracle 1.1 Ultra-Wide cables,
Roksan TMS2 T/T with SME V arm, Clearaudio Insider Ref
Cartridge and Clearaudio phone stage) and I was not expecting
to notice such a big difference running the system on the APS,
but my ears tell me otherwise !

“I wouldn’t build
a high-end home theater system without a PurePower device.
Battery back up is just a start. Completely clean,
regenerated power is yet another. If top performance and 100%
reliability are at the top of your list of system goals – I would make
the investment in Pure Power.”

PurePower™ 700
The
level of improvement this added to my already exceptional system
was akin to a total system upgrade; it did more than I could have
imagined a power product could do. Add in all the protection,
ability to run on battery power and the fact that I can safely use
my system during our frequent Florida lightning storms without
worry, and I think it’s a steal. I am keeping this in my system
and recommend you get one, too.
In
the end, this is the best, most performance-oriented AC power
device we have tested at AVRev.com

"This is some terrific product, the difference in
the clarity of the
video, especially in hi def, was remarkable. WOW. I hadn't expected that
much difference in picture quality.
I'm actually going to use this unit
for my audio equipment, so, I'll just have to get another for
video."

PurePower™ 1050
"I tried each component connected to a wall outlet, then connected to the Pure Power 1050. In every case, the component sounded better when connected to the APS device." "The other thing that was immediately apparent was an increase in the ease with which the music flowed. The previously sluggish stream was now a steady-flowing river. Cool!" "I now consider the APS Pure Power 1050 to be an integral part of my audio system, one that I would not want to live without. Highly recommended!"

PurePower™ 1050
"Auditioner beware: after hearing
this level of performance improvement, there is no way I can live
without Pure Power in my system."
"Clearly the Audiophile APS
PurePower 1050 performed better than the Richard Gray 400s on my video
projector ... I have come to the conclusion that the PurePower 1050 is
the ultimate piece of electronics for video use. Combined with the vast
improvements in color and contrast, something that many display devices
lack in this day of fixed pixel digital displays, it provides better
backup for safeguarding your display by allowing it to properly cool off
in the event of a power outage."
"The PurePower 1050’s sonic and
video improvements eclipse the impressive feats I remember vividly while
evaluating the Exact Power EP15A."

PurePower™ 1050
"With the Audiophile APS in use, the
various rhythms and textures that he used were reproduced with much more
clarity. The different types of cymbals used could be heard much more
easily. The increase in clarity was not accompanied by any hardness or
glare, and that's a good thing. Tonally, music overall from top to
bottom seemed richer, more full sounding as compared to the sound using
the PS-Audio P-300."
"I am not aware of any other power
line regenerator that has all of the capabilities of the APS 1050.
Considering price, performance, technology and style, the Audiophile APS
PurePower 1050 Power Conditioner receives my highest recommendation."

PurePower™ 1050
"I live in central Fla - we get daily lightening
storms for 6 months of the year
which will test the toughest of PLCs. One of the reasons I'm purchasing
a 1050 is because of what sounds like impenetrable surge protection."
"A few years ago, I
lost about $8000 USD worth of amps (which I
thought were well protected thru a Tice
Powerblock 3C) and last year I lost a
board in my prepro thru a BMI Shark PLC. The
batteries (conversion to DC) seem
an integral part of the design and the surge protection so I just
wanted to ensure that the batteries were
robust and that I'd have some way
to know when to replace them. Replacing $400
worth of batteries is trivial
compared to damaged equipment."
"Looks like a terrific
product and unique in the marketplace - thanks."

"Audiophilia
is about finding insight into and deriving enjoyment from recorded music
that's simply unavailable without gear of sufficient quality. Audiophile
APS can take pride in knowing they're providing such access."
"All
of the intimacy and the immediacy of Cullum live, including the way he
hugs the microphone and the position of the band, are conveyed through
the playback chain powered by the PurePower 1050."
"Now
knowing what an improvement the '1050 makes to my system in total, I'm
starting to dread having to send the unit back."

Audiophile
APS 1000
“For
our test, we used a pair of Bryston 7B SST monoblocks and the Acoustic
Arts power amplifier. Thus, we had two very power-hungry systems that
can draw as much as 1000 watts when in operation… The APS handled the
loads effortlessly when in the regenerating mode. We then pulled the
plug and, to our utmost surprise, the system(s) continued to perform as
though power hadnąt been interrupted at all.”
“…the
APS … picked up subtle distinctive and complex underlying tonal
structures never ascertained before. Midrange clarity improved as well
and may be the result of the amplifiersą noise-free performance. …the
APS allowed better, more clear-cut imaging, focus and time-based
accuracy.”
