Seems like your getting it was a good move on your part.

So much so that you might abandon your beloved P20? Take your time to respond… not before the end of the year, please.

No home theater action for the P20?

There is still time for that. No rush.
Such a great piece of gear!

Why don’t you experiment plugging the P20 into the PowerZone just to take a look at the THD and other values on the display?
Just for fun…

Good idea!

I don’t believe the PZ reduces or cleans the power. It just makes it relax. My ears tell me everything I need to know. I could try it though.

Didn’t you try plugging Puritan into P20 before, or was it the other way around?

That’s a great idea.

My P20 is off to get its oscillator replaced. Meanwhile, I’ve ordered 8 x 10A fast blow rail fuses and 2 x 1.6A slow blow fuses (all HiFi Tuning Supreme) to go into my BHK300s, and looking to get two 5A Swiss Digital Fuse Boxes with piggies and graphene sluggos to replace the 5A mains power fuses in the BHK300s (230V specification for Australia). I might get an SDFB for the P20 as well. Hoping to free up some electrons.

If the P20 improved sound of your hi-fi by cleaning up what comes out of the wall, wouldn’t it have the same benefit feeding your PZ? Curious minds want to know.

My situation, one with high in-coming distortion, is where the P20 seems to excel. It at least increases my comfort level when 10% is knocked down to .01%. My brain falls short of fully understanding how the PZ makes electrons happier. Signal regeneration as supposed to filtering always made more sense to me. Example, the P20 sounds more “right “ than a Shunyata Denali.
I can’t knock the black background of the SR, but I felt it took away some of the music with it.
So, time to try a new twist I guess. Road trip.

The P20 does not handle the current the PZ has connected to it. It would shut down. The system sounds quite a bit better than it did with the P20. I don’t believe the PZ needs anything in front of it or after it.

No, I tried a P15 into a P20.

Okay, I may try it one day, but then why?

I flipped the M-2 fuse direction in MU2. Yup, I think I got the right direction this time.

Even a “null” could be an interesting result. After all it seems a completely new approach, that implies a completely new way to understand how it can work so good sonically speaking.
