Power Conditioner use and recommendations for systems with Preamp/Source separated from Amp(s) ....

Joe,

what do you think about Burmester 948? What is equipment plugged into it?
I'm thinking of buying one of these and plug my sources and my preamp. Currently all my devices is plugged directly into the wall, a dedicated circuit for my monos and another dedicated circuit for my sources and my preamp.

Hi Ricardo,

I am sorry. I just saw this post from you. I still have the 948 and do really like it. The great thing about it is that it will actively reduce DC on the AC lines and for me, that seems really important. I have everything plugged into it and would consider two, one for the amps and one on the front end.

Joe, did you ever buy a conditioner/regenerator?

Not yet. But I am considering getting a new PP2000 or would love the PP3000 with a bigger outlet install. If I had my dedicated out install to do over, I'd put in a bigger 30A line or a 240V line and use a 240 in and 120V out transformer for more current on one set of outlets. My CJ gear is more sensitive to ground and ac issues. Everything is plugged into one 20A circuit right now and it's perfect, but the audiophile nervosa in me rears its ugly head and I think a 30A circuit for everything would have been better. I don't need it but would feel better if I had the additional headroom.

I cannot imagine more headroom is ever a bad thing...though you may not need it. I suspect somehow with your entire system...it might make an improvement. You've got some pretty dynamically capable equipment...you want the juice to match it during serious crescendos. That said, I am NO techie...
 
Conrad Johnson tells me that one 20A outlet is all that I need. It works fine but who doesn't want more.

And they are probably right...for example, when they told me most powercables won't do much relative to the stock cord, i found they are right. their stock cord is excellent. while I prefer the Purist Audio Ann Contego i use with it, i found their stock cord excellent and probably would not be bested by that many PCs imho.
 
All you gear joe I would definitely run another 20 amp. Run your amps on one and your pre/sources on another. I'm getting ready to run a couple new lines and everyone I talked to about it said to run my amps to the wall together, and then the other stuff through the conditioner on its own line. Which is exactly what I'm going to do.
 
I have 2 dedicated outlets behind the system and 2 dedicated outlets (one on the left and one on the right of the room). A total of 4 20A lines. The CJ stuff does not like to be separated. If I could do it over again I'd get a 30A line and be done.

How would you convert the 220 back to 110 ? Just curious cause I do all my own electric work but I don't know much about electric in preserving sound quality. And I'm trying to learn it.
Jeff told me to twist my wire once every foot when running it. Lol not sure why but I will . Lol

[TD]Here at PurePower, we believe that the sounds and images that come from your system should be the ones that were introduced intentionally – not those that arrived unintentionally from your utility or through your house wiring.
We believe the music shouldn’t suddenly stop or the screen flicker and dim or a recording operation fail when the utility power has a momentary sag or a short outage.
We believe that power problems such as surges, spikes, transients, and harmonic distortion shouldn’t damage and destroy expensive components catastrophically, or slowly by chronic overheating.
If you have spent time, money and effort to assemble a superior set of components that are capable of delivering a high level of audio and video performance, make sure they are given a source of clean, pure, continuous electrical power to ensure they have a chance to perform to their utmost.

[/TD]
[TD]Our next-generation regenerators are available in three models:
PurePower+ 1500, PurePower+ 2000, and the PurePower+ 3000.

Pure Power Continuity
In addition to pure power, the PurePower+™ provides you with something unique in audio power regenerators - protection against power outage. The PurePower+™ maintains full wattage output even when the power fails completely. All PurePower+™ models give you continued pure power at full output and quality from minutes to hours, depending on your consumption. With the option of adding PurePower+™ PowerPacks, you can have several hours of full power while your neighbors are in the dark.
Warranty Protection
Our 2 year limited warranty program is possibly the best in the business. If you are having difficulties with your PurePower+™ that cannot be resolved by our online or telephone support, an RMA will be issued and a courier pickup will be on its way. Return the PurePower+™ using the original carton or let us know if you need a box and packing. Any required documentation and waybills for the shipment will be sent via FAX or Email for the return trip. Your unit will be repaired by our service technicians or replaced when appropriate.

[TD="align: left"] Pure Power In > Pure Sound Out
The PurePower+™ 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 50 or 60 Hz reference grade AC wave form from the DC. No spikes, sags, surges or other power disturbances can be passed through from input to output.
Accurate voltage specs
prevent current reduction.
Some products designed to clean or filter the power can reduce the current to your amplifier. The PurePower+™ maintains a 120 volt output (230 for international models) +/- 1% with up to 92% energy efficiency and a power factor of more than .99. All of our APS models can deliver their full rated wattage even during short or long duration power sags. In fact, they deliver continuous full power even if you're getting extended periods of as low as 55 volts at the wall outlet (110 volts for international models.)

For the record anything with Pure Power+ on it is back with the real manufacturer in Canada. I have got the + 3000 in my rack now & I am really pleased with it.

Kev,

I think that's the one I will end up buying. Looks great.
