The best plug in filter ever!

PURON DOUBLE BLIND A/B TESTS

I got my Puron in the mail yesterday, and did the first tests. I asked my wife to sit down and listen to tell me what she thinks. I started off without it, and played a song she knows pretty well. I turned my back so she could not see whether I was  adding or removing the Puron, and did my best to prevent her from being able to tell if I was adding or removing it. I played 30 seconds without it, and she said, "OK." Then I played 30 seconds again without it, and she said, "Yeah, OK." Then I plugged it in cold for the first time, with no burn-in at all, and she immediately said, "Oh, Oh! That one is better." In all, with my randomized A or B tests, she consistently picked the Puron for better sound, identifying 5/5 correctly in this session. She commented that my system sounds "more like it is supposed to sound," and "more real."

Guessing five out of five correctly in a double-blind test is not enough to be statistically significant. We will have to do four more sets for a total of 25 samples minimum to get to statistical certainty. Also, the findings studying one person on one stereo are not enough to make a predictive model about the entire population, each with different stereos. However, she only had a 3.125% chance of guessing correctly five out of five times. But, that can happen, so... more tests needed before I can confirm with sufficient certainty.

I let it burn-in for a day and I did my own first listening tonight and could immediately tell that my system has a different sound. I could hear a lot more information, a lot more easily. This was not a subtle change at all. I liked it almost as soon as I sat down to begin listening. It was easier to follow the melody, and easier to hear the instruments.

So, statistically speaking, my wife can say that she is 96.875% certain that she prefers the sound of the Puron in my system. I can say that I like it too. I will report later what the rest of her listening tests show, but I think I will probably text Mark right now and order a second one. Definately worth $250.

I love Purons. What they do to my system is different with HFC magnets. For $250 each, Purons could be 1 of the best tweaks I have ever experienced. 
I see that 68pete had moved both Purons in front of system with great success….I still have not done so…. still got stuck in my listening chair.

happy listening ev1

I plugged my 4th Puron filter in to the power conditioner. 2 Puron's at or near the wall that feeds the power conditioner and 1 at or near the wall that feeds my amp. Great sound and clarity from them the only down side after plugging the one into my power conditioner the soundstage is not as tall. Very happy with the sound just not as tall soundstage. May after a while try and moving it to the amp line, which will give me 2 on each power line near the wall.

I did try the High Fidelity Q 45t on 1 Puron filter. Right away it dulled the sound and took about 30 hours before the sound returned to the level it was before. It did not do any thing for the sound. In the long run it did not hurt the sound. In fact its still on the Puron filter.

A quick note

I just ordered a Puron. Can't let all you have all the fun, or the mocking by pointy-headed objectivists. I have a LOT of power manipulations as well, and have tried many similar things. Will see how that return policy holds up ;)
