What PC for PPP?

I am looking for a PC for my Power Plant Premier. I am running a Krell 707, Meridian G08, Denon 5910, Panny BD55(will up grade later), Outlaw amp(surrounds duty) and my Mits Diamond display off of the PPP. The main's Krell amps directly to there own dedicated line.

I am looking in the $600-$700 dollar range and not apposed to used.

Thinking Shunyata Research's Python Helix Alpha or if the price is right go to Anaconda. I was also thinking LessLoss but I read somewhere here that it did not go well with the PPP.

Suggestions? ...... Thanks,

It does matter. If you have the unit you would understand.
The Fusion Audio Enchanter did not work for me on my PPP. Too closed in and restricted. I didnt like it. Much better was the DCCA Reference Master. That is a great cord for the $$$ and there are lots of great reviews here.
The best I tried on the PPP is the Synergistic Research Tesla Precision AC. Very dynamic and open. It beat the Fusion cords by miles.

power cables, in fact all cables are a personal choice issue which is why manufacturers supply a generic lead. Plus it would drive the price of the component up. My pet hate is fuses. Why not fit the components with the good fuses to begin with but that's a whole other topic.

Cruz123, I think your looking at the unit in the wrong way. If it generated the new current from scratch your reasoning would be correct, however it regenerates using an incoming current. I'm no expert but I believe the PPP works similar to a power amp and so is sensitive to cable chandges in the same way.

I am hoping I can regain some of the thickness of the bass with a different cord. The PPP tightened the bass considerably in my system and while it is very articulate it seems lacking compared to the mids and highs.

I run my tube Diezel guitar amp off of the ppp also and it totally changed the low E notes.

after writing that last statement I sat down and listened some more and thought that I only have about 25-30 hours of a full load on the PPP and it may be to soon to do critical listening and I should give it another 60 hours before auditioning cords.

Any thoughts on the break in period of this unit?

Usually I would get a harshness in the mids and highs that the Krell amps and the Diamond tweeters would highlight with a new cable that I expected from the PPP but I am not hearing this, so I am wondering if there is a break in period with the PPP at all.

Give it 400 hours. The PPP has a long break in period.
