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,

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.

My biggest complaint about the PPP is that it has sterilized the music a little too much. You can turn it up to get that fullness that is there without the PPP but then it is very loud. What changes in sound did you experience after break in?

So far I have tried a Python CX, Aqueous Anniversary and a T3. They all have there own sound. The Python and AA are close with the AA accentuating the highs slightly more. The T3 had very clean crisp highs and accurate mids which I liked a lot but seemed to be lacking in the bass. I like the Python the best so far because I feel it has the best over all balance from highs to lows.

Actually the best my system has sounded is with the Python in the PPP and the AA in the CDP, but I am not done demoing cords yet. I am going to try a Deep Dream and an AC-12.

I wish I never changed the CDP cord because I did not plan on upgrading that one.
