The Purepower regenerators having big switch-mode power supplies. These (as all big SMPSs) are prone to inject a lot of noise back into the AC line. If you have other components on the 'regular' AC line, they might be affected by this noise. My feeling is that it might be better for you to run your whole system off your single Purepower regenerator.

Of course, this assumes that your 1050 has a big enough output. If you're using high-efficiency speakers, then you might be OK.

I agree with you that it would be better to plug all the audio components into one Purepower, but that isn't possible.
First, my speakers are not too efficient and have a 1 ohm impedance  wacko, so my poweramps are not small. 

Second, the poweramps are located near the speakers away from the Purepower and it would require very long powercords. So even a bigger Purepower model isn't usable in my situation.

I have a 3 phase connection, one phase dedicated for audio, the other 2 for different floors in the house. I plan to plug the Purepower in one of the non-audio connections and see if it makes a difference.

But in the current situation the Purepower give a better SQ than without or with the PS Audio Power Plant Premier I had earlier.

Since day one I have my NOS1 (and computer) plugged into my Purepower 1050 regenerator.

One time I bypassed the Purepower and plugged it in the "normal" (dedicated) mains, but that lasted only for a few tracks.
It sounded "sloppy" by comparison. no

I assume that you will use the NAS for more than your music collection.  Personally, I have a wired network (with wireless as well for those devices with no physical connection) with a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro at its core.  Our entire DVD and Bluray collection is ripped to the NAS and can be streamed direct to the home theatre via the Denon Receiver or the AppleTV.  My music library is also entirely contained on the NAS as are the primary archives and backups from all the computers in the house.


Hi Anthony,
I would use a NAS (or alternative) primary for music for SQ with XXHE, and maybe for backup of photo's. I have no movie collection (there are cinema's at close range  good).

So I think a simple NAS or pc would do the trick, but it should work fast and easy.
Not sure what to do right now.

Stanley

 oops Silly me, I knew that.

Hi Peter,

Where "on the LAN" do you get your music files from then?

Not shure if this is the correct spot for this question  unhappy

I'm planning to add a NAS to my home network. Are there any specific requirements for a (simple) NAS, for convenient use with XXHE?

Thanks.

Thanks again Peter for this "remote surgery".

I see you left some mysterious folders and files behind ($Recycle.bin; Recovery; System Volume Information).

Not to be touched I suppose?

Stanley

OK, great. I will install it.
206  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: XXHE 1.186a "crashes" on: February 08, 2014, 11:48:25 am
Yes Peter, I changed several power option settings, restarted XXHE: problem remains.
Then I changed the settings, rebooted and started XXHE: problems remains and Thn I repeated the process after I changed back the settings.

Hi Peter,

I can see nothing odd at "power options".

Maybe its time to do a clean install of Windows (the weather seems suitable).

Ok. If you only realize that you now can't use XTweaks either.

Now I'm not sure how to proceed Stanley.
Again the question : Didn't you use XTweaks previously under W7 ?

I used XTweaks under W7, this summer I installed W8 and also used XTweaks, Now I reinstalled W7 (no dual boot) and run into these issues.


If you want to use XTweaks, you might want to rename that file to NoXTweaks.tss again (but first switch on Logging in XXHighEnd and quit), and post the XX logfile (others are not needed) from when you started XXHighEnd and clicked the Settings button (grab the log file when the first error messags is on screen).
Only if you want this, otherwise I'm fine with it !


Logfile attached.

Now all works just fine.

Muchos gracias!

I tried all the suggested actions but the messages keep appearing. Not when XXHE comes up, but when I press the Settings button.

I found an "AnalysesA.dat file and renamed that.

Stanley
