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.

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

sgordon1,

What improvements do you find with the copper sleeve over the Puron?

BTW, way back when, I started the thread on Audiogon about placing a copper sleeve over the power cord IEC. At that time, it seemed to increase detail. I have since gone to using much better power cords.

Here is that thread.

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...

Interesting. I may give it a try, if I can find those copper couplings...

Greetings 

I’m sorry to say that my experience with the Puron filters is opposite of everyone else. I had them plugged into my system for 10 days. My system became harsh and brittle. My sound stage went from a wonderful 3D image to a 2D image.

The other day I spent 8 hours listening to my TT’s and CD’s. It was no longer fun to listen to music. I removed the Puron filters from my audio system. I’m happy my system returned back to normal.

 I have plugged the Puron’s into my TV circuit. I don’t watch much TV so time will tell.

 I’m disappointed that I didn’t have positive results. If they work for you go for it.
