Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???

Does anyone know where things stand with actual Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ unit availability (Canadian company)? None of the authorized sources I checked with who actually responded seem to have them, nor have they been given any reliable answer as to when things will ship. Apparently quite a few promised ship dates have been made and have been missed over the past few months based upon the information given.

The plus-generation of these units have several features that I really want in my system as an upgrade to my existing unit. It would be good if they are making the units and are shipping them out to be purchased.

Have any of you been able to purchase one of these new units from the Canada-based Purepower and do you have it in your system? If so, how do you like it?

I am aware of the problems with the 'other PP' company and the schism between the two earlier in 2012, and do not need any info on that.

Yes the + models are shipping and I've had mine for about 5 months. Unfortunately my own unit was just sent back, seems it wasn't accepting a charge from the battery pack a very minor issue and quick fix I'm told.
Send me an e-mail for any info.

Zephyr, I do like it VERY much and have compared it to Sound Application Linestage. The PP 2000+ was cleaner and more musical. Have not compared it directly with their older version but have had an older version in my system which is why I bought the 2000+.
I was in contact today with PP and they tell me they are shipping 2000+ and 3000+ units within 5 days of receiving orders, all good news.

Its strange that I hear no difference going from wall to battery but do hear a significant difference changing power cords! I find using a PAD Canorus is the perfect match......

So whats the explanation of the change in sound due to the AC cord?

Rdoc I've done extensive different grounding schemes for the analog and nothing has worked so currently using analog into a Purist Audio conditioner which goes into the PP and everything else into the PP2000+.

Just an update...after not receiving timely responses from PP I did sell my unit, wish I could have figured the hum out but like Zephyr he too couldn't get the buzzing to stop. Maybe it isn't PP fault but there is no other explanation. My quest is on for another conditioner.

I'm using a PAD 20th Anniversary cord but unfortunately since receiving my 2000+ back I get a hum thru the speakers when my analog is plugged into it so can not listen to the PP. PP is looking into why this is happening now but wasn't originally and does not happen with digital.

Received my unit back and working great BUT with analog I get a hum out of the speakers. Digital is dead quiet and plugging the phono stage into the wall all is fine. The PP guys are trying to figure out if there's some sort of ground loop problem.
(Anyone want to buy a new 2000+ cheap if I can't get this to work with my analog?)

Phono is not grounded separately. I've tried a cheater plug on the phono and still get the hum, I can plug the phono straight into a Purist Audio conditioner or the wall as is and the hum goes away. Plug the phono into the PP and get a loud hum.

Zephyr agree! I know it's not my phono stage or turntable b/c using 2 different conditioners all is fine, plug digital into the PP 2000 + all is fine, plug either the TT or phono stage into the PP and you get a hum out of the speakers. Unplug the TT and or phono stage and plug them directly into the wall all is fine. PP to date has not come back with a solution. If you own just digital this will be a great unit, anyone want one at a good price?

Rdoc I now have tried using a cheater plug with ground wire and attaching the ground wire to any part of the PP chassis does nothing (except cause more hum and a scratching sound) BUT when I touch the wire to another chassis (phono chassis or my Purist Conditioners chassis) the hum stops. There's something wrong with the PP grounding scheme. Again it's OK with didital so anyone want it for cheap $$?

After over 3 months and PP could not figure out the noise issue I gave up and sold my PP2000+ unit.
I wish PP all the luck to solve the issues.

Mlary ~ too bad after all this time a unit gets shipped that has the same problem as others have reported here. Seems like there is no resolution.

PP if all these customers that get a hum when the new PP+ is used and none of use ever had these issues before with many other conditioners (and I myself spent weeks and weeks trying all sorts of grounding schemes to eliminate the hum) and none of us had any luck then I thinks it's safe to say there is something wrong with these units. You can spin this anyway you want but......
