Review By Rick Jensen

Rick Jensen took us up on the offer we have made to all pure power one 5.0 owners: return your units to us, paying for shipping both ways, and we will replace the older filter with the new upgraded one at no charge to you.

“First, the whole system is quieter than ever, which, after all, has to be the main objective. I have to get right up next to the speakers to hear any kind of noise, and that with the volume turned up a level that most would consider quite loud. That aside, there is just an overall sense of quiet. With digital sources it's actually a little eerie. I realize now that I have always known when the system is on (of course, the glow from the tubes gives it away) by ear – so when the music starts it's a surprise but not a shock. With the new PP1, it comes out of nowhere and gives me a start most of the time.

Regardless of why the PP1 manages to make everything else sound so good, what remains is that it does.”

“The Pure Power One 5.0 delivered clean power to my system in spades and it did so quietly and without the slightest hint of abnormal behavior.”

“But my system is already quiet and it also has a good spoonful of that liquid sound. What struck me was that these qualities were taken to the next level with ease and without me realizing that there was even room to go to the next level. It was as if a layer of background grain and haze had been stripped away that I didn't even know existed in my system.”

“Ma's cello sounded sweet and textured with the body of the instrument noticeably coming out of the recording more easily. This texture is an increased naturalness and does not have anything to do with grain, harshness or electronic artifacts. I am telling you, this unit is slick incorporated!”

“Transient speed and dynamics gained a degree of dexterity and freedom of movement and dimensional breath. As in the upper frequencies, from the lower bass and slightly past to the upper bass, music was brought forth from a silent, velvety, quiet background that brought out the sweetness of my amps low end.”
