@62truck , I was curious about the Puritan as there was one in the system when I was auditioning my Audiovector R6’s. And a friend was recommending it as well. So that was it really.
I think both the Torus and Puritan are great, however I personally prioritized the bigger and freer midrange of the Puritan over the higher resolution and refinement of the Torus. The Torus may be more focused and “pinpointed” with imaging. It’s tough for me to go to greater details, because during my testing, the quality of my AC power was also fluctuating. So while I definitely noted differences, the main difference that I could confidently attribute to each product is the ones that I noted. Also, just to clarify I do prefer my amp connected directly to the wall (dedicated circuit).
