Yes, it was installed over a month ago. Very pleased with it. Solved some severe electrical problems I'd been having for the better part of a year. Really the way to go if putting a dedicated panel in your home is possible. I'm still using a Shunyata Triton and Typhon for the front end and Typhons for each amp as well. Works well with the Torus.
I too have owned two of the Purepower units, and while they do clean up the incoming power, they do not deal with the noise that is created by the components themselves, which can then degrade the performance of another in your system, and thus the need for more than one regenerator. The Shunyata approach has proven superior in my system. The real problem with Purepower is their terrible customer service. If you need service, many have found the company impossible to deal with. The nightmares are well documented on other forums. Unless things have changed, I would avoid them.
In my opinion Frank and MtnHam have this issue captured well. I see three areas that need to be addressed in the power equation:
1) Protect the system from the dirt on the incoming power grid.
2) Protect the system from the dirt it creates itself.
3) Avoid ground loops (differential electrical potential at various system grounds which causes extraneous current to flow from components connected via interconnects causing noise).
In my search for the optimum approach to address all three issues I have yet to find a single product that excels at all three categories.
Active systems like regenerators or isolation transformers tend to be best at addressing issue (1) but in doing so must be designed to enhance and not reduce impulse current. IMO the Torus AVR gear is exceptional here.
Passive systems that isolate individual duplex outlets from each other with high efficiency filters and absorption materials are excellent at addressing issue (2). IMO Audience and Shunyata are exceptional here.
Issue (3) can only be addressed with an effective star grounding design for the entire system including home-runs back to the electrical panel for each circuit using the exact same length and gauge wire, a
single dedicated grounding rod shared only by the systems dedicated lines, and internal star grounding designed into whatever is used as a distribution system at any of the dedicated outlets. It is my understanding that the Audience and Ansuz products use internal star grounding (I have heard Shunyata does not but have not confirmed.)
So if I am getting this right, it seems like Frank has dialed this in to near perfection assuming he followed the star grounding design approach going back to his Torus. The Torus lets nothing in from the grid and all system generated propagation is absorbed by the Typhons at the amps and the Triton and Typhon in combination at the front end. Impulse current is actually enhance by the Torus and then system noise is eliminated with an ultra high efficiency passive approach.
Bravo Frank.
