The best plug in filter ever!


Puron AC Power Conditioner by Greg Voth


After reading rave review of Puron AC plug in filter, I had got one 10 days ago.

For your information my system is very complicated with bi amping and three Farad linear supplies.

Thus I have 14 power cables, one main power conditioners, three isolation transformers.

I had tried plug in fliters from quiet lines, quartet stecker, IFI, furutech, Nordost Qv2 and QX2 fliters.

I still have all of them in my system without selling any of them.

I am collector. 😁

All of them had brought slight improvement but not drastic change.

But as soon as I inserted Puron Ac filter, it made background black with more details and clear bass.

The stereotimes review is spot on.

Encouraged by the result, I had ordered two more of them so that I can insert more of them close to amps and Dac.

Now my system got transformed with more vivid and clear sound stage but not overetched.


This is the best 750$ that I had spent during last 5 years in my audio system.

Immediately I heard better sound with a Puron plugged into a power conditioner.  Average to poorly recorded cds are more engaging, with more of a "you are there" feel.  I can now look forward to rediscovering old music.  I have ordered two more units.

Tweaking the Puron:

Bad: copper sleeve, E-card

Good: Walker Talisman

Excellent: Fo.Q tape, small strips on end, opposite the plug

A nice, subtle enhancement of all of the pluses.

Both pieces of the tape could fit on the fingernail of your middle finger.  I did not cover up the blue light.

I will get some video feedback when the new units arrive next week.

Loving two Purons plugged into Synergistic Research Powercell 12, and can really hear the contribution of the second unit.

I am seeing richer colors and better contrast on a 15 year old Panasonic tv, after just one hour of use.

Who is ready to hear the results of putting an HFT on the end of a Puron, opposite the plug?

Regarding the cheap extension cords or cables: I have found that the weakest link will severely limit the full benefit of what you are hoping to accomplish.  Instead of adding a 1' cable or other "extension," I have bitten the bullet and used quality 1m cables instead, where space/availability permits.  You can certainly hear the difference when you try this both ways.  Reminds me of an old audiophile axiom: "Everything makes a difference."

Try placing an HFT at the rear of a Puron.  It delivers more of the good stuff.  

If possible, don't stop with just one...

Try placing a polished (inside and outside) copper sleeve over a PURON.  Use one or two rubber bands between them.

With copper sleeves over a Puron, I am hearing a slight increase in volume and a more forward presentation.  Instruments and voices sound closer to me, and bigger in every sense: height, width, and depth.  And yes, more information seems to translate into more detail.  This might not be everyone's cup of tea!

It took about 20 seconds of listening before removing a copper sleeve off a High Fidelity MC-0.5 Basic.  It was as if the sleeve was a large thick blanket over the speakers.  Exactly the opposite of what I am hearing with Puron.

I have the sleeves on two Purons, plugged into a Synergistic Powercell 12.  And HFTs on the ends...

The short version of this post: using a T adapter (from justubes, 5/2) inserted into a Fuse Box, a PURON can be placed into one of its plugs.  The resulting sound is spectacular, bringing you even "closer to the music."  Only continue reading if you want more.

I had been using two PURONS in a Synergistic Research Powercell 12 conditioner, and one PURON in the wall, in the same duplex as the conditioner.  This was a well-established baseline, over at least ten hours of dedicated listening.  I then removed the PURON that was furthest away from the power cord (end) of the unit.  I noticed a decrease in volume and a sense of restricted dynamics.  

I plugged the T adapter into the Fuse Box, and inserted the power cord that was connected to the electronics (creating a straight line).  The other end of the Fuse Box, and the shorter power cord running to the Powercell 12, remained unchanged.

The resulting sound was head and shoulders better than when the process started.  It was as if all of the wonderful attributes that others have attributed to both Fuse Box and PURON were enhanced by their proximity.

The PURON into the T adapter faces into the room.  The blank (opposite) side is next to a wall.  Yes, the weight of the PURON must be supported.  Yes, I am thinking about what a replacement (an additional) PURON might do for me...

So, onward and upward.  Just when you are marvelling at what you are hearing, new ways of employing these devices keep pushing the envelope.  Thank you, Mark!
