A $250 Power Conditioner?

@mikeba316

I currently am using 9 with a few additional that I am currently evaluating. My system concern is becoming too dynamic which is so source material and location dependent. My best guess to this point for my rig is somewhere between 10 and 13? Time will tell.

Everyone’s system/systems and electrical setups are so subjective that it would be difficult to project what’s right for anyone.

What’s nice is they settle in very well within a couple days with no break in. This makes it very easy to even try 1 or 2 at a time and do careful testing to find what’s best for you.

"Again, $35 and it does the same thing."

How would you know this to be true?

I would assume that there are many factors contributing to dirtying ones electricity. What do you base your belief of identical performance on?

The doubters of this product needs to audition them in their own environment. I’m pretty sure Mark at Vera-fi offers a satisfaction guarantee testing. Most in our hobby will find the pricing reasonable.

I was very skeptical early on, and even had a negative experience with my second Puron. This was not the fault of the Puron, but in my set up which needed to be sorted out.

Forget about that they are too small or too cheap. I have many now and as I added them, they continued to improve the soundstage size, focus, imaging, just overall increased realism.

For reference I utilize a P.I. audio group Uberbuss for my DAC and transport only and had 3 MC 0.5 that I used for a couple of years. The only place I found to be detrimental with a Puron ironically was directly in the Uberbuss.

This thing treats your entire system at once and is right up there with the best audio purchases I have made.

I have one of these Entech noise analyzer that I purchased maybe 2 years ago based on a previous discussion, so I tested things out.

On setting up on an unfiltered outlet, it would only have an affect from the one Puron that is within 5 feet of my breaker box and not on the same circuit. On setting it to about 100 it was very quiet with only hearing a faint radio station with extremely low interference. Nothing like the unfiltered noise level on the video. Kind of needed it in a headphone position to really hear it well. I then went to the one circuit for my system which currently has 8 Purons on it and the reading was actually higher at 127. It was still very quiet but higher!

I then went to my Uberbuss power conditioner which is on the 8 Puron circuit obviously and its reading was 13. That was a difficult position for me to be navigating in so I only listened quickly and didn’t really hear anything in the couple seconds.

In the who cares department, on my unit when you overload it that small round spot parallel to the volume adjustment illuminates red. Having watched the video I don’t believe his lit up. Not sure why.

Also, I don’t think silver cabling has much to do with varying results for the auditioner. I have Duelund 3.0 silver foil speaker cables with pure silver Aero spades, Kimber KCAG interconnects, Kimber D-60 digital cable, and Lavricable Grand power cords, two of them. All pure silver cables.

The only connections that are not silver in my main rig is the umbilical from power supply to my transport, and the 3 Signal cable digital reference power cords for my transport and Dac going to my Uberbuss, then to wall outlet.

I plan on continuing to add and subtract the Purons I have along with varying locations to hopefully achieve the best sonic results for my application.
