So why do I now prefer the sound with the PP2000 as opposed to last year when I stopped using it? I think it's because last year I never plugged all the components into it. Playing around with various configurations these last couple of day, what I've learned is that everything has to be plugged into the PP... even the PC. Otherwise the sound is too bright, forward and edgy, my main criticisms. Last year this was easily fixed by running from battery, but now with all the components running off the PP, the PP sounds very similar running from AC or from battery.

I've just ordered a PP+3000 for my main system - the PP2000 will feed my study/office system. I'll report my thoughts on the difference between the two when the new one arrives in a few weeks' time.

Mani, it is hard to say why your results last year were unsatisfactory. I do not believe that people with properly operating PP would not acknowledge the difference and I do not believe that any sane person who even once heard playback running from PP would image do not use PP. The unsatisfactory that you had I attributed to the presumption that you unit was broken. Whatever it was you unit was 220V and I do not know if the 220V unit are the same as 120V units. They shall not be but I do not trust to anything that I did not hear personally. It is hard to me to say why you suddenly fallen in love with PP. You claim that it was “everything plugged” syndrome but I was writing about it years back and I thought that it was what you were doing. Even if you did not then in my view the superbly positive contribution of PP was still very observable… Anyhow….

It is interesting that you went for PP+3000. I very much consider doing the same but I would like the PP+ to age a bit. As I understand PurePower made kind of new regenerator and I would like them to filter out the bugs that they might have in this first version. I do not say that they have any bags but it is what uselessly happens. Were you able to upgrade your PP2000 to PP3000+ or you just got another unit? If you have both of them then it would be very interesting to hear your comments about Sound of PP vs. PP+.
