Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator


I am waiting for my Purepower APS 3000 to be delivered; it comes (it's the european version; I am from Italy) with a stock power cord with 20A IEC, so I can't use my power cords (Cardas Golden Reference) to evaluate how do they work on the power regenerator in comparison to the stock one.

I should buy a new cable with 20A IEC, or do it by myself buying a piece of a brand cable and the right connectors (Furutech, Oyaide, Wattgate).

Any experience, before I make an useless buy?

Thanks,

Emanuele

According to what Purepower does, it shouldn't require anything special coming into it.[http://www.purepoweraps.com/regen.htm]

I think claims like "this filter/regenerator TOTALLY isolates from electric line" are only marketing.

My Torus CS-15 claimed the same thing and every time I turned on a light or fan, I would hear a pop. So much for isolation...

A regenerator should give true new clean power. There is still air-born RF interference generated from other electrical/electronics that can be picked up after the unit too.

In this topic http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1318151545&openfrom&1&4#1 David12 tried different power cords on his PP, that's what he said :

" there clearly was a difference ..."

"... I would say there was not as much difference as putting the same cables on the amp or CD player, perhaps that is accounted for by the Pure Power being a regenarator, not a conditioner."

I will post you my impressions whem my Cardas Golden Reference with 20A IEC will arrive.
