PurePower new plus range regenerators any good?
What I meant to reference was a comparison with the earlier generation of Purepower products. Sure, there are differences in efficiency and load ratings, but regenerated power is regenerated power, or am I missing something? 
Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced
David12, so you were comparing the original Stillpoints to the new Ultra SS's, as opposed to the difference between Stillpoints vs. nothing which is what I would be most interested in.

Good but not great, what does that mean? Clean power is clean power, right?

David12 Stillpoints Ultra SS, really? Under what component did you use them? 
The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
I played a live recording for the performer/musician (Vo Fletcher/Ric Sanders Group Live in Lincoln Cathedral) and he remarked that if he closed his eyes the sound took him back to the actual recording event. He said that he could feel the sense o... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Sorry Jcote, that's not what I hear. The SS option is a significant improvement over the aluminum. 
SOVEREIGN Glory Amplifier. How good is it?
I am running my Tidal Piano Diaceras with the full suite of BMC electronics. I would recommend BMC if one were willing to make a similar commitment (i.e., transport, DAC/preamp, power amp) as that is the only way to take full advantage of BMC's un...

Epic, these are two different products that share a cabinet and bass drivers (different tweeters and crossovers). Each offers remarkable value at their respective price points. My Diacera only has around 260 hours so it still has a long way to go.... 
BMC DAC Pre
I think they all have a built in gain control, whether as a DAC or a full linestage with DAC.

My Piano Diaceras have shipped and I expect to have them late next week. You will love your Piano Ceras. Did they have any break-in at the factory as far as you know? 
Tidal Speakers owners
Johngp, how soon will you receive your Piano Ceras? I think my Piano Diaceras may be shipping within a week!

CH Acoustic X20/ Elrod Gold Power Cord
Have not done an A/B but rather based on my experience (and now ownership) of a recent vintage (a bit over one year old now) Statement Silver power cord. Really revelatory on my power amp and best described as my system felt like it was on steroid... 
CH Acoustic X20/ Elrod Gold Power Cord
I vote for the Elrod Gold......but for pricing consideration make sure you know which vintage as I get the sense that there have been incremental improvements in design and perfoamance.
