We embarked on a development project with Puritan Audio Laboratories to upgrade their excellent mains purification products. The prime reason was to enable them to be used with audiophile power cords that utilise quality UK plugs such as those from Furutech, AudioQuest, and others.
The grip of the standard issue sockets fitted would not hold securely these audiophile plugs, which are often used with thicker, stiffer power cords. After two years, the development programme is complete. We now offer these as Special Edition versions to all Puritan Audio products from the Power Strips to the Studio Master Purifiers.
These are available exclusively from The Audio Consultants.
The upgrade to the Furutech FT-UKS chassis sockets and the FI-33 high current inlet IEC has not only solve the grip issue but it has had the additional benefit of a major uplift to the sound quality. Close listening tests between the standard issue models and the Special Edition variants is immediately apparent. The sonic improvements are between 50% and 80% over that already experienced with the standard Puritan mains purification products in the audio system.
The most noticeable changes are to the sense of scale and the frequency bandwidth. The sound stage is enlarged in all dimensions and bass is not only more extended but has more texture. Clarity is increased so that finest details are resolved readily, and images are more focussed. Dynamics and transients are notably faster.
The Special Edition versions of the Power Strips and the Studio Master Purifiers are available with Furutech FI-E30 Schuko sockets to order.
All Puritan Audio mains purifiers models are available for a home trial: the Special Edition version with the Furutech upgrades, and the standard version without.
