Based upon what others have said, it seems like a good unit. I would give it a good power cord and a good outlet. Not talking big dollar stuff but standard outlets can be 69 cent specials and should always be replaced with better quality outlets (a few bucks each). I have seen many outlets with the wire that just slips into a hole in the back. Think of the wire being grabbed by two small, semi-circular edges that conduct all the current (yuck!). IMO, solid AC power needs to be screwed or, preferably, because it is easier, screw clamped. Note that if it is at the end of serial run of 3 other similarly crappy outlets, it may all be for naught (so replace the whole series with clamped outlets:). Dedicated line, even better.
Look for a power cord with larger gauge conductors.

Thanks.I decided to add another Oyaide R1. I hooked one up to where my power amp plugs in and will add another one where my PP2000 plugs into the wall.
I also opted to get a Pangea AC9 SE MK II with IEC connector to connect the PP2000 to my 15 amp outlet.
I thought about different cables but I recently swapped out my AC9s on the power amps with cables costing 4x more and the differences were prerty slight, which got me into thinking the Pangeas are truly a bang-for-the-buck product. That, and the fact I could get the length I need without scouring the internet for a used one. Plus it arrives tomorrow.
The Oyaide arrives Tuesday. So after Tuesday, I'm done with upgrade/tweaking for a very long time.

Good plan!
If there are any other outlets on the run between your nice stereo outlets and the breaker box, make sure those outlets have decent quality screw clamped wiring. The last outlet in the run will probably have only one set of wiring feeding it. You can track back the wiring run by turning off the breaker and checking which outlets (including those on the opposite side of the wall) are depowered.
