Now fully five years after the original PP2000 was in my system, then subsequently stopped working and was sent back for repairs to the manufacturer. An unfortunate series of events involving the Chinese subcontractor resulted in the company contracting severely, and my original unit was lost. Numerous excuses were made, but eventually the APS company made it back on their feet.

Almost beyond belief after such a long time, and thanks to those here who encouraged APS to "do the right thing" and send me a replacement unit; finally it has arrived! I waited to report on this until the unit was actually physically in my possession...

But now it is here. APS sent me a PP3000 Plus unit including the Power Pack and Furutech FPX-R receptacles. After plugging it in and letting it settle for a few days, I have been listening to it this weekend. The sound is as I remember it. It is frankly impossible to make a direct comparison to the PP2000 as it has been such a long time, but all my original remarks apply. The only thing missing is the buzzing hum which plagued my first unit. This unit is absolutely silent in operation, leading perhaps credence to my original suspicion that the original buzzing was due to a manufacturing defect.

Now it is totally silent and the Sound is coming through gloriously again. More commentary to come in a while...

Worth the wait.

Hm, might it be that 2014 is the year? A few years after 1999 I still was waiting that anytime my completely pre-paid new Micro arrived from Japan, perhaps 2014 is the year when al, the thing come together?

Anyhow, I can't say anything besides Bravo PurePower. I have no idea why they delayed it and I have no idea why they sent it, however I would like to point out that as a result you got much more advanced, sophisticated ( and more expensive) regenerator then you original PP2000 was. I gig heard from unwelcomed correspondences that PP did some further changes since I got my unit, so only Got know how of my and your unit deliver the same sound. Let presume that it is and if so then you shall be very lucky. My works flawlessly sine insertion and sound great. Find the phase on which it sound better, even if you have a dedicated line. In US we have two sides of 220V, each of them  120V. They are not truly two phase but rather side A and B of the same 120V line and they do sound distinctly different. Also, be advised that presence of the other switching devises in your let say side A do adversely impact of the sound of your new PP3000.

In the end I would like to note that as I always said those "numerous excuses" and reasonable delays are normal "modus operandi" from Pure Power if they have something not fluent on their side. As I told some people get turned off by it, I have some of my good friends do not want to hear about. I can't not blame them and I do feel what they feel. However, if to pass on that notion that somebody shall comply with your expectation and humiliate own consumer ego then there is a chance that you get a well working PP3000 as a result. You said that it "Worth the wait", I have been feeling the very same since 2006-2007, since I hear the very first PP1050 unit and said: there is something very worthy in it. That pursuit to get this " very worthy" did drive me across all tribulation with PP, which I still do feel is a spectacular product, even conspiring the "strangeness" of the company.
