Upgrade Options for BPT Pure Power Center

After a few more hours of listening yesterday night, I now can confirm that this thing really made a difference in my system.

The most prominent was the background noise that was significantly reduced. I have confirmed this my playing a particular track from Fourplay "Bali Run". Normally I can hear a considerable hiss at the opening of the track. With the BPT, the hiss was not only gone but I couldn't hear it after I cranked the volume up a few notches.

The other difference I heard was a slight "softening" at the upper registers. The sound of instruments was slightly rounded up and less metallic. In other words, the harshness at the top end was eliminated and the overall sound was more organic and real which further increased listening pleasure.

I have just used this unit for less than 2 hours. I have been informed by Chris that this unit will improve with another 400-500 hours burn-in with AC current pulled through the unit. I cannot imagine how will my system sound by then. Now I realize the importance of good quality power. I am now looking forward to reaching the 500 hours mark, probably in 6-7 months time!

Ryder, did you make it to the 500 hour mark with your upgraded BPT PPC, and if so, did you notice improvement?

Hi Androux,
I did make it to the 500 hour mark, much more than that in actual fact as the unit is still in my system. Well, I can't say that I noticed a noticeable improvement after the break-in period. If there is it would be subtle at best. It is a fine unit though as I got most of my gears connected to it except the power amp which sounded better connected directly to the wall outlet.
