Differences between various Quantum devices


I realise there has been some discussion of Quantum QX4 and QX2 devices. I have seen them at several shows and am sold, personally, on the gains envolved. They are not cheap, but I am all ready to pay for a QX4 and I find new alternatives. Firstly QRT themselves are producing a QV2, a small plug in device for sockets and conditions. This evidently is not the same as QX4 and 2, it uses different technology. Kemp as well have the much cheaper plug in QA plug. So what do I do know?

A big ask I am sure, but has anyone compared the differences and merits of QX4 or 2, with the QV2 and Kemp plug. I would prefer the latter if it works as well, partly for the cost, but also it means I don't have to find room for another shelf in my rack. Thanks David

If I read their web site correctly it seems that they are simply filtering or "Cleaning the mains".

From their website:

"QRT’s proprietary circuitry acts at the source of the problem, reducing EMF noise and RFI interference effects on the mains waveform, audio and video signals – and it does it without limiting the voltage swing or altering the impedance of the AC supply. Which makes the job of your hi-fi’s power supplies and active components much, much easier – and that’s what you hear from your system or see on your screen. Use a QRT purifier and you’ll experience a lower noise floor, greater clarity and separation and increased dynamic range, qualities that are just as apparent (and measurable) when it comes to the color, definition and detail on your AV display as they are in the context of a really great stereo set up. The result? Greater overall musical and visual coherence, more stable perspectives, greater realism."

If someone knows how to do this without using classical EMI and RFI filters they sure have stumped me.
David12, My QX4 is plugged into the wall and the PurePower 2000 is plugged into the QX4. The CD player and amplifier are fed by the PurePower (no pre-amp). When needed, the PP has reserve in its battery; so, I have not had current problems with my 600 watt per channel RMS amplifier. In fact, the amplifier sounds better going through the PurePower than directly to the wall.

Slightly off thread...but what's the deal with PurePower.
I have not heard of them before and was just about to buy a Shunyata Hydra V-Ray 2.
I see it is a power regenerator rather than a powerline conditioner.
So what is better?
Mauidj, PurePower 2000 is superb; it added clarity, cleanliness and dynamics to my system and provides constant 120V/60Hz power. I bought it from Brent Rainwater at rainwateraudio.com. Brent can answer your question better than I can. Also purepoweraps.com website is very informative.
