The best plug in filter ever!

Puron AC Power Conditioner by Greg Voth


After reading rave review of Puron AC plug in filter, I had got one 10 days ago.

For your information my system is very complicated with bi amping and three Farad linear supplies.

Thus I have 14 power cables, one main power conditioners, three isolation transformers.

I had tried plug in fliters from quiet lines, quartet stecker, IFI, furutech, Nordost Qv2 and QX2 fliters.

I still have all of them in my system without selling any of them.

I am collector. 😁

All of them had brought slight improvement but not drastic change.

But as soon as I inserted Puron Ac filter, it made background black with more details and clear bass.

The stereotimes review is spot on.

Encouraged by the result, I had ordered two more of them so that I can insert more of them close to amps and Dac.

Now my system got transformed with more vivid and clear sound stage but not overetched.


This is the best 750$ that I had spent during last 5 years in my audio system.

1 in Puritan 156 and 1 in HFC MC-6 Signature 3D

The one in Puritan156 has greater result since my Jeff Rowland amp and Lumin streamer connect into. Along with my series of MC-05s and MC-1s magnets

Re: HF MC-0.5's. I experimented with placement, eventually following Rick Schultz's recommendation to start at the wall. I have two dedicated lines, there are 2 MC-0.5s in each duplex and one more in a power strip with amp and preamp. There is so much sonic improvement. Plugging a MC-0.5 in my EquiCore + DeepCore yielded very little effect. Possibly because the HF's need to condition the mains.

Whatever technology the Puron uses, it seems like it will work anywhere in a system. I'm expecting a demo unit from Mark since the Purons are sold out. Maybe you bought the last one.

@lowrider57 sorry Buddy. I was going to wait til next year to purchase a 2nd one. I want to make sure if the first Puron will work in my system first and if it’s worth the money.

As I mentioned earlier about its sounding character, Purons and HFC magnets results in my system a bit differently. I thinkThe Purons sound similar to HFC Q-45T enhancer- warmer and fuller, more musical and authority. (NPS-1260’s crisp, clean more revealing and detailed )

The spot I chose to put on the 2nd Puron at HFC MC-6 power conditioner is just a temporary. I will find a spot for it on my main Puritan-156 Pwr conditioner along with the first Puron and my chain of series HFC magnets after Christmas. Cheers

Note: I have 2 separate dedicated AC lines for each power conditioners via hospital grade Hubble AC outlets.

My comment about you buying the last one was tongue-in-cheek since you advised me they would sell out and then you made another purchase. Very decent of Mark to send me a demo unit to try.

So, most of your system runs off the Puritan. I split my MC-0.5's between the analogue line and the digital. My Core Power conditioners handle all the digital so I'll try the Puron on the amp & preamp line. Very good description of the sonic effects of the Puron, thank you, it filled in the blanks.

It is good to hear  your updated impression.

 

I also enjoy music with three Furon filters in it.

As I plan to upgrade Line Magnetic 508 SET to LM monoblocks, I will try more tweaking after the amp upgrade
