But Can you mention the name of the product too ?
The manufacturer Site is in Spanish and I could not find out which one is it.
Another question is do you reckon that they will ship single unit outside usa too ?

The product on their site is under UPS... the model is the "Titan" (on line doble conversión) 1kV . Note that the unit use a fan that I disconnect from the motherboard , I told the guys that I do not want any noise from a fan so they told me if the load of the unit is low "it may be safe disconecting it but we do not know" ... The fan is also there to prolonging the life of the batteries , this units are installed on agressive climate so they do not care if they make noise . Theres a link on their catalogues to this site http://www.socomec.com/Home_en.html I think they both work together in some way , so may be you can try a unit from them for local use . they must share many things .

Lots of these units make for "blacker backgrounds" and a "wider soundstage", however this has in the past come at the expense of the essence and substance of the music, according to various other audible defects brought on by the "regenerator"; typically, broadly, there are problems with dynamics and tonal variation. 
I know what you are talking about , I think the "blacker background" in this case is only because of the cleaner ac wave so the drivers are dead quietly ( cero hum) and are able to reproduce the silence between instruments , after all IMHO thats the black background , is the silence between instruments or between individuals in the orchesta . Once I tried a device (clock) that made this effect but destroy every bit of human music turning the whole system sterile . Im aware of this effect of the "substance of the music" and I think it is very delicate , any bit badly reproduced can IMHO kill all that substance , and the emotion that the system can transmit goes away . About dynamics im not feeling any loss , but be aware that I have the unit for 4 days so I need more time to have solid conclusions .

 I suspect that none of these units so far have really been designed from scratch for hi-fi, rather I suspect that most of the "hi-fi-specific" units are +/- minor adaptations of prior technology with "added features" and marketing aimed at audiophiles.  Most of the "prior technology" seems to be along the lines of somehow manipulating oscilliscope traces to show nice shapes, and "audiophile" versions typically offer some ways to play with the things while they are in use.
I totally agree .

Since you use your unit directly from wall power and you like the results, will you also tell what sort of speakers you use and what sort of music, at what sort of volumes, you like better with the unit engaged?

Paul , I build up a custom speaker enclosure for using the 416-8B woofer and the 802 8G mid-high from A.L , Mr . Bruce Edgar made me a 650Hz tractrix horn , right now im listening to only one speaker in mono configuration , but just because my room is not big enough for stereo , I had try two speakers but I get too much acustic problems because of so much sound . When im ready I think I can try the stereo setup  , but to be done well I need more space . So to my needs (room size + s.e.t + big speakers ) the correct way IMHO is only one speaker until I can manage acoustic problems on the room . Lately im listening jazz trios and quartets but also very much classical , instrumental , and vocal . I use to hear a little higher than normal talking , but just a little , only when I listen to classical I raise up a little more the volumen pot . I do not know yet what kind of music I like better with the unit but can tell that fundamental tones are very , very clear but with extensions (harmonics) and the bass has become very tight leaving a clear space for mid-bass , mid-bass was not clear but was distorted by the bass until I plug the unit , the changes on voices are very noticeables also the tones of instruments have become incredible real . On monday I will go to a friend house with the unit and will try it in his configuration , will let you know what we think .

Romy ; One question for you ; Does the pure power unit raise its temperature (gets hot) when youre using it ? or is it always cold ? I do not know what kind of IC they are using but I suspect they are "new generation ones??" I was making my self these question because the unit I bought use very few SMD chips . Lastly does PP2000 produce their own chips or are they using 3rd party ones ?
